For your consideration is my 1977 Bonnevile Cafe'. I had this built about 15 years ago by the well known Triumph enthusiast Jay Strait of Brit-Tech. 5 years ago I had the bike's motor totall rebuilt by Ave Tenkarian from Rhode Island. IMHO "Ave" is THE vintage person. When Ave works on a bike it's done right. Very dependable. This machine can sit thru the winter and will start 1st or 2nd Kick w/ electronic ignition. Alloy bits (Tank, side covers and leather seat w/ alloy pan) were handmade by Evan Wilcox. I had to send the frame to him to to fit the one-off hand made Manx style tank. The Tach is a VERY cool deal! From a Vincent Black Shadow. Started as a Speedometer and was made into a Chronometric Tach and the face was screened Triumph. That work was done by KTT services in Australia and has been working perfectly for 15 years. That Tach alone set me back $3,600 in 1998! Vincent plate frame and "STOP" light. Ace bars w/ hard to find "Gummy " grips. Norman Hyde rear sets, ACE rubber mounted bars, swept back pipes w/ pea shooters and vintage fluted glass 9" light. Just a ball to ride!! Approx 7K miles since rebuild. This is no trailer queen. This machine represents a carefully ridden patina and creates a crowd. All others are gust pretenders to the throne ; ) Happy to answer questions..Thanks for looking
