Nice Norton Cafe Hugh. I've got the same Dunstall style faring on my Yamaha XS650 Cafe Racer.

The XS has a Rickman tank, clipons, Ducati single seat, home built megaphones, rearsets etc. The motor is pretty much stock apart from a Boyer ignition.

I've got a stroker motor that I'm building for it that's out to 920cc. It should be a bit of a torque monster as it's under square with an 83mm bore and an 85mm stroke. It's got 38mm Lectron carbs, Megacycle cam (you flat track guys should remember this company), big valves, springs, titanium retainers etc. I've just got to finish the machining on the head and bolt it back together and it should be right to go. It's kick only so I'm a bit nervous about starting it the first time. Getting the ignition timing sorted on the 650 nearly put me over the bars a couple of times.

Cheers
