There's a nifty HD cafe job pictured at eBay:

eBay auction

Actually the auction is just for the tank and seat.

It's from Benji's Cafes. I like how versatile those guys are.

check this one out, that ain't no regular sportster motor neither, say it with me "XR"

Stylistically, I like Benjie's version better. Which is not to say that I'd turn down that XR engine were it offered to me. :-D

Intresting intake setup, it looks like they took a front head and bolted it on to the rear jug. Nice job!

No, that's how the XR motors are setup.

Their was one year (~83-84) that HD offered a Sporty stock with this engine. I think it was a gray or gun metal color. Special model, etc (eye candy to get you into the dealership).

I asked Benjie a couple weeks ago about building me a tank/seat combo for my Bonnie and he said he couldn't do anything with it yet, but was about to get a Bonnie frame in his shop so he could start work on something.

You'll have to keep us informed...

I sent him an email of the same subject right after I started this thread. Didn't hear back from him though. Good to know he's getting pressure from other riders though.
