I've always liked this bike, but this guy really did it right, IMO:

Anything early 70's and "Cafe" styled is alright by me. I had a 1975 BMW R75 that I gave this treatment to,
I wish I had a pic.

Yeah, this was one of those kind that was accessible money wise
and you thought about getting one and doing some mods or as I used to say, souping it up.
This guy did that and added cool stuff like the black pipes and custom seat, maybe clip-ons?, tiny mirror.

I'd strike that large tach/speedo cluster, but other than that..
I had a nice set of Magura clip ons and rear sets on mine, I made the cafe solo seat and rear skirt, tucked the license plate up under the rear wheel (the way all rice rockets do now) and stripped all of the muckety muck.
I found a pic...
