I'm a cafe racer fan not an OEM cookie cutter fan.
I've been a cafe racer guy since well before cafe bikes were a fad but it can be said that cafe bikes, choppers, and customs all follow a cookie cutter formula too.
How many guys are building flat blacked out bikes these days? Shesh! talk about no imagination...
So you're a brit from the pre-60s?whatever rockstar.
ANY modified bike by an individual no matter what 'formula' format chosen is NOT a cookie cutter.
I'm currently building a blacked out bike. I prefer blacked out pieces to chrome. Guess I have no shiny imagination.
I swear .. it sure is coming across here like some of you guys are just huddling over this forum so you can push your personal opinion as what's right and everyone else is wrong. Go ride your bike ... or polish your headlight .. or whatever trips your trigger.

I guess I asked for that cuzz, well, everybody is building a flat blacked out bike these days. sorta proves my point.
But hey I'm not trying to rain on your happiness so I'm sorry if I hit a nerve.
And I do like to state my opinion just like everybody else.
But I'll never insist that another builder's taste is wrong, just that its not mine.
That's OK because a forum should have all kinds of information both positive and negative.
I would find a forum full of only positive information and posts nearly useless.
Like ferret said, don't let me or anybody else ruffle you feathers. We're all here having a great conversation around this bike.
And I'd bet that most of us have more in common than in difference.
