Sad that some bits and frame shortening the cafe-ers are doing can't be easily replaced but good if it's breathing life back into a motorcycle that was languishing under a tree in someone's garden.
On the distinguished gentlemens ride last year there were a few sympathetic butcherings.
I hadn't realised how bad the bmw situation was getting but papping 'cafe racer' into ebay brings up shitloads of butchered beemers,
