Bike looks great!
Those pipes on the last "inspiration" pic are tits. If you can do something custom like that that would be great.
Something like these less the decals and shiny hardware would be cool...

Hey BlackKat, it's Brian, I met you at the dealership...talked about monsters for a while.
Talk about an upgrade! I can't wait to see what the finished bike looks like. Both times that I came in it was up on the rack. Good to hear that you had her out, take what you can get around here with the weather.
I still need to drop by and show you my little beast! Keep us updated on the build...

Hey Brian! Bring that BEAST by! Wanna see that exhaust!
Corey,
No tank swelling issues there, I just have the cover at the body shop getting sprayed to match the top of the triple. There is such thing as too much carbon
lucky you...
my tank latch has become nearly inoperable at this point...

ill reserve full judgement until its done but right now, its looking really busy.
my thoughts;
the yellow headlight fights with everything, the red stitching doesn't flow with anything either and the sweep at the end of the channels fights the movement of the bike. too much CF for a "retro" build. and if your painting the cowl, why bother having it made out of aluminum?

i guess I just dont really see the old style lines. the major lines of the the trellis frame, SSS, disk brakes, USD forks and monoshock is (gloriously) modern. the details of the CF clip ons, CF front fender, CF sides, billet all around and an open clutch are all modern too. a yellow headlight and an oldschool bikini fairing just sort of confuses the whole thing and makes it look like its trying too hard to be retro, much in the same way that honda cafes can.
CF, black, red, yellow, silver, grey, 50s street fairing, 70s seat, modern frame/swingarm, racing ergos... all great elements but it has too much stuff going on in to many directions, it lacks the focus and simplicity that define a cafe bike.

A few things:
1: why ask for opinions if you're going to shoot holes in them so quickly?
2: It is MY opinion that you ARE mixing and matching whatever strikes your fancy without regard to the bikes' overall aesthetic.
3: if there are NO RULES as you state above, then why point out what defines a CR?!?
This isn't a CR (IMO), but more either your CR influenced S2R, or a resto-mod S2R.
Take my opinion FWIW... Or shoot holes in it. Don't care.
Two biggest things to remember:
1) F*ck what others think, it's not their bike...
2) Opinions are like arse-holes...

really? no paramaters? harley a bagger is a cafe bike if I throw some checkers on it? a busa is fair game if I put a pedestrian slicer on the fender?
there are layers and layers to what makes a cafe bike and exceptions to all the rules but at its heart a cafe bike is a minimalist design with a clear focus on speed. its the one thing that links bikes from the 50s Nortons to the modern day work of breitling and radical ducati.

I agree with the two above me. I'm not bashing and there certainly are some sweet bits on the bike but as of now, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Maybe it's too early to judge or maybe it's just the pictures but there needs to be some sort of common denominator

I think we all know that posting a bike on this place is begging for feedback, both positive and negative.
People tend to forget that forums don't reflect facial expressions, tone or general meaning without clear words so sometimes things come across as demeaning or just place mean.
but i can say, with a few exceptions, people aren't trying to be mean, they just are passionate about our brand.
personally there are a few things I like about this bike and a few I question, but Stuart is right, it's his bike and his passion
