So just for fun, I'll do a "combined" post of 5 cafe bikes all in various stages of completion from basket case to done. So they are a 1966 Benelli 450ss Fireball (Restored) w 22 miles on it. A 1966 Benelli 450ss Fireball (Survivor) w 620 miles on it, untouched in every way. Pulled from a barn after 40 years of storage, cleaned carb, fresh gas and she started right up. Even has original Pirellis. Then we have a Ward's Riverside (Benelli) 1125L 125cc from 1968 2 stroke. Not running but complete, project. Then we have a Running survivor 1969 Benelli Sprite 125cc 4 stroke w the "power egg". Will be brought back to original condition.

Then my real basket case project but most valuable. A complete but in pieces 1967 Bultaco Metralla MK2 Model 23, 250cc 2 stroke. Being brought back to race track quality with a cylinder from a Pursang Model 68 and performance chambered exhaust. Full race fairing and a nice 932 Amal carb to get her down the track. Will post a pic of what this one WILL look like but it isn't there yet.

That Bultaco will be the shit. Benellis are sweet too. I'm in!

That Bultaco will be my favorite but in the worst shape to start of course. Have a lot of bits for it. After a sandblast on the frame and some powder, It'll start to come around.

You are going to be a very busy boy. Can't wait to see the Bultaco. I used to go to scrambles races locally and the Pursang was my favorite back then.
