As noted on the other thread about the dodgy Dakar replica, this chap in Devon builds up 50's style cafe racers. Here's the link to some he's made and are for sale.

I took a trip down to Paington today to meet him as he sells off all the standard bits that he no longer requires suc as RT fairing bits etc. I picked up several bits off him at good prices.
He is an extremely nice guy, very committed to airheads. He buys everything he can find and strips them down and cleans them up. He fits a custom made rear sub frame and seat and each bike is unique. He averages a bike every two weeks so he gets through a fair few airheads.
I might have an arrangement with him to buy all the standard bits he rips off his projects so I can use the bits for rebuilding original airheads.
He may call in to The Wee-kend and show off one of his latest builds.
Hopefully he will log on here and join in.
Definitely not to everyones taste but he appears to have a thriving business and sells everyone he makes for a decent amount
