check out the bikeriders. this isn't a book on the standard for a cafe bike.. but it's an awesome book. danny lyon is a photojournalist who was in the chicago outlaws motorcycle club. he was able to compile photos and interviews of the members. i guess they didn't really have cafe racers, but they did race their bikes (scramblers track)
amazing book, nothing to do with what you're asking for, but it should be read.
