It actually looks quite good, but I can't help think a good Morgo twin would be better.

The builder thoughtfully added a dab of red paint to the top of the carbs to draw the eye and highlight the fact that they’re incorrect for a 90s.

My very thoughts! A standard 90s not only looks gorgeous but will chomp and spit out any cafe racer you care to mention. Especially over a decent distance.

Anyone can tell it's an October 1973 R90/6. A UK bike, too.
