I quite like that, and it's very well done but... why put the BSA badges on a Kawasaki?!

What's a café racer with a full fairing called?

I'm considering rebuilding the CB into one.

Something like this?

Makes a change from seeing Bonneville stickers on them, but I do find it annoying. Just as bad as M badging on 316's.

Its very nice, but would you pay the £30K they said they charged the owner to build it?

In a word NO !
It is however well built and looks extremely pleasing. I built one back in 1975 on a budget !How lovely it would have been to have a money no object build !
