It looks like the 999 isn’t going to sell, and I’ve only had stupid offers. Now I have always fancied a bit of a cafe racer so thinking along these lines to something with it a bit one off
What do you think ?

I'm not keen on the one you've posted

I like this one

First one is let down by the stock-&-stripped headlight unit. The seating arrangement doesn't instill confidence.....could use the tail-end & seat from the bike Kwacky posted.
Other than that it would be great for a ride out to a cafe.
A cafe close to home.

IMO, the first pic looks a little like "I crashed my bike and can't afford another one so here are the bits that where left".

So you all love it then
It won’t look exactly like that but I like the naked headlight housing and the rear seat so we’ll see. I will keep the carbon belt covers so it won’t look as bad as this one

I like the idea, go for it....

This is one of the better ones i have seen but the deep sump motor on the 999 bikes make its difficult to make it look good.

I saw this on a bike night's last year, or something very similar, I will look to see if I can find a pic

Stunning simply stunning

There is a video to accompany that photo. I’ll try and post it up later.

This one however is even better...and used as originally intended.

Well that is a cracking re build , but I have to say a bit more exotic that what I have in mind. And what looks like a whole pot of money chucked at it.

I'd didn't realise they were at the Bikeshed Duke.

I've booked a table there in a few weeks as we are going down London for the weekend so I'll grab some photos.

I went there last year when i went to visit my brother.

Food is really good and its a decent place to visit...and there are bikes.

Meant to go for a while but just not happened so I booked a table as we are down there for a family weekend.

I knew I had some..

Well the cafe racer conversion will have to wait, after speaking to rich at Louigimoto the cost will be a lot more than I bargained for !!
So just gonna get her some new fairings for now, the cafe racer thing will happen just not yet

How much was it going to be.....ballpark??

Well its there when its time, no rush
