Re: New member - Cafe Racer (ish) project.
Thanks. And thank you for the clocks idea. The speedo in the headlight (the exact speedo to be precise) was unashamedly robbed from your build, which is very nice build by the way!

It's not the standard one, it's another ebay special (£45 delivered). The reason i didn't keep the standard one is that on the faired SV (MKI anyway) the fairing grommet mounts are welded to the...
