Yep - that's it. I have not used one yet - its on my to do list for my Ambassador - but I have heard great things. I had my generator rebuilt by a local auto electric shop when I put the bike together (a nice plus for using essentially VW bosch parts) and have not had any trouble with it. The proverbial squeaky wheel gets the money from the bike fund so there are some other projects in front of it. Good to know you are a supplier. If and when I get to it - I'll give you a shout.
Nice bit of kit there. I clicked on the link to a Cleveland cycle works bike and it said
"..Sure, cafe racers are bullshit bikes more about mimicking a trendy look than they are about achieving any mechanical function. And, as trends tend to do, they’ve reached their peak and are now on the decline. But, there’sno denying that they are popular, and popular amongst a subset of people who aren’t otherwise riding motorcycles — people under the age of 49." and went on to say
"The term cafe racer comes from 1960s England, where skint, spotty bikers would huddle around a cup of tea while wearing unfortunate white socks, attempt to emulate American culture, then tear all the unnecessary stuff off their bikes and tell tall tales about riding them fast. Back then, it was supposed to mostly be about breaking laws on fast bikes, but now it’s more of an excuse to dress up in questionable clothes and be all high and mighty about simplicity of purpose while being a slave to fashion."
So there we have it in a nutshell.
