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.

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"
