Lol I didn't know you started another project. Granted that it's not a run of the mill cafe racers but I really like this.
My parents rode motorcycles for years even before they had me. Back in those days you could pick them up for £5 The most expensive bike they bought was a 1948 Vincent Black Shadow they bought for £50 & considering the average weekly wage in the UK at the time was between £8-12 that's a sizeable chunk. My parents had the classic British motorcycles, BSA, Ariel, Triumph & Norton. Dad (besides loving his Vincent) loved Triumph while mum was into Ariel. My grandfather owned numerous motorbikes, Scott, James, Vincent & his Brough Superior SS80. Before my parents migrated to Australia, dad pulled the Vincent apart & had it in wooden boxes & a year after when I was born it was shipped to Sydney. Dad put it all back together & had it until 1989 when due to medical circumstances he had to sell it. I wish it was kept. I took 2 unofficial rides on the Black Shadow & got grounded both times. I rode dirt bikes during my teen years & my first girlfriend & I had matching Vespas. I still remember the days of dad & I tinkering about with various bikes.
One of the guys who repainted my ute recently got his L's & bought a Harley-Davidson Street 500. It's not a bad looking bike for it's price. He took off the exhaust & modified a hotdog from a recent model WRX. It's pretty loud. I took it for a spin up & down the street & even though I'm not a Harley lover (except for the Harley-Davidson WLA), it's not bad.
At least you'll have room for it in the ute for your cafe racer. I think you should start up your own paint/body shop elless1.
