Wow, thats a passle of questions. First off welcome.
Now if you are interested in a cafe the Thruxton, Moto Guzzi V7 and Continental GT are already there, and would fit neatly in your budget, however if the Hondas 88 horsepower disappoints you, you will be devastated by the HP outputs of the others.
The Cb has been cafed and parts are available..check out threads by Silascopic who probably has the most radical cafed 1100 on the board, but there are certainly others as well. Tanks, seats, exhaust, mirrors, and fairings in the cafe design etc are all readily available, particularly for the 13 models.
As far as removing weight, Ack got his down to something like 485 pounds but spent the equivalent of your entire budget doing it. Titanium exhaust, alloy swingarm, wheels, etc all save weight and cost like the National debt.
No one has had heat issues that I have read about and some of these guys live/ ride where it gets insanely hot.
Did I miss anything? Lol
