Home made exhaust with shortened ZRX1200 Kerker can and period NOS Pre supertrapp Kerker "Racing system" badge.
Rear light is Honda Blackbird.

That is a great looking machine.  You going racing?

Can you give us some details about the electrical and charging system?  

What is under that custom generator cover? 

Is there a battery hiding somewhere under the seat or tail?

The minimal electrics are hidden under the seat .
Basically a battery, reg/rec, starter solenoid and a 30 amp toggle switch for power on/off.



And the generator is an 25 amp GPZ1100 Electrex race item that i've modified to work with the smaller Z900 small taper keyway crank .
It uses the same windings as the alt i used on the alloy cafe racer in this pic but is enclosed and allow the use of the starter motor.


 

Really nice work, I like the "gas strut" to hold the seat up

No! Not going racing it's just for fun.
Lots of twisty roads here in the uk and i like to make the most of them.
The bike is for dry days only and for daytime use the minimum you need is a constant sounding horn.
No lights or anything else required so why not take advantage of that and build as close to a race rep as you can.
I have fitted a brake light though for when i'm in traffic .

Isn't a "brake light" a minimum legal requirement ? - looks like "every day's a school day"

No! Nothing needed except for a constant sounding horn. ( and speedo for the cops )..
