I don't get Cafe Racers

[Grumph]

Don't do it as it looks in pretty reasonable nick unless you just use the motor and sling it in another frame.
There is someone in CHCH that has the Mould for the VIC Camp bikes which were taken from the works Ducatis
Grumph will know who has them.

Everyone and his dog has copied the Vic Camp Ducati single fairing. Eurodave I'm pretty sure has a mould. I actually have a bikini fairing here which is the top half of a genuine Vic Camp one. It was so light and thin it broke up easily so it was rapidly copied. i saw it hanging in rafters and asked for it as part payment for some engine work. Been on two bikes now...

One of my stalled projects is an XL250 powered pre 72 race bike. Got enough engine bits but still need a rod kit - and yes, husa i know they're available...
I was going to build two frames and the late Eddie Ridgen was also going to build one up as he was a big Honda single fan - and lived a few k's down the road.
I've recently sold the wheels i was going to use so I suppose I should also sell up the motor bits soon.

FWIW Wallace - marsheng - is building a replacement frame for his 250 Ducati and could well be interested in doing another for the XL250. Given they use engine plates at the front and there's plenty of latitude for rear mounts, it wouldn't be a bad fit. Again, eurodave has moulds for suitable seat and tank.

Never heard of that model Honda...Wallace is actually building a batch of replica Duc frames so they will be available if anyone wants to build a small - but perfectly formed - cafe or race bike.
