In the meantime, I've been compiling a information and picture resource of interesting singles and parts to suit. Again, all asthetic at this point:
This is the DRZ400-based CCM CR40 cafe racer. Alloy tank, twin shocks, spoked wheels. A neat, retro-looking machine. I'd love to get my hands on an exhaust system... would suit my purposes just fine.
This is a CR&S Vun (one) -- powered by a Pegaso/Bombardier/BMW/Rotax 650 single. Lovely bike. Google it if you want to see the website. If you have a spare $20,000 or so lying around, you could get them to build you one. Customizable down to EVERY last detail. Some neet videos on the site as well.
Airtech sells this BMW Rennsport fairing. Originally for a late 50s and 60s BMW R50. Gustaffson sells a windscreen for it for another $100. I REALLY like the shape of this, and it should be nice and narrow for my project. The issue is the HUGE 8" headlight cutout. I could see if they can build me one with the headlight cutout filled in, or I could do some work on it myself, maybe using a smaller pair of lights or the leftover 5.5" one from the Ducati.
I'm also partial to this seat, actually from a Bimota. The built-in fender extension will double nicely as a place to mount a licence plate, and a small rectangular (LED?) tailight will fit just underneath the ductail. I could get a proper seat made, after moulding a base "pan" from this, and benefit from a real cushion for my butt -- rather than a slab of foam. Perhaps it can even curl down over the side of the seat like a real seat pad. Dimensions seem right (supersize the image to see), but this will be something I would have to get in my hands first, prior to building the rear subframe.
