very nice. My undersanding is that the solid black with blue lininig was a Butler & Smith "special" of some sort. Mine is a metallic black. And, you might want to check your valve covers. Looks like the links and rechts might have been swapped.
hey guys, new member here! my airhead is a slightly modified R65. It was my dad's until he got a new one a few years ago. he had it all stock exept for a Luftmeister fairing. last year i started by stripping the bike down, fairing, reynolds rack w/ backrest, airbox, starter cover, pulse air system, rear fender, rear seat cowl, "US" handlebars, headlight w/ bracket and instruments, choke cable/lever, all gone. added clip-ons, manual choke levers from handcrafted coat hanger, Aztec 8 (5 3/4in.) Dual headlight kit w/ cat eye turn signals, Trail Tech Vapor computer w/ motorcycle dummy light cover, K&N pod filters, and Emgo shorty pipes (i think that's it...). i have yet to buy rearsets. i don't really see it as a cafe racer, more of a streetfighter. tell me what you think, more pics coming soon of complete product, the pic was taken a few months ago.
btw gproberts, great bike! could you list all of the mods on it?
yea thought about that corbin gunfighter but its not the look i want to get. i don't want people to see the seat and write it off as just another "cafe" bike when it's not, i don't want to get lumped in that category, i think a lot of people slap a gunfighter and a "S" fairing on and call it a cafe and it seems to make light of all of the other people that put serious work into their custom cafes.

Here's a snap of my son's and my airhead taken last weekend at the Valle Caldera National Wildlife Preserve in Northern New Mexico. We will be at the '08 Rally this year -- hope to see you all there too!
