I want to see the vendor wearing the VR46 Valentino Rossi T-shirt - Women’s - Size M bought last year!
It looks to me like the owner has done a very good job of creating this special, although you never really know until you look closely at the detail.
I do like the idea of a modern motor and chassis but with old style California looks, I think that's very appealing. Personally I'd need to swap out the fairing for more of a basic Cali screen but that's just personal choice.
Price-wise I think he'll be exceptionally lucky to get close to the asking price. 'Specials' never reach a price that reflects their perceived (emotional) value of the current owner, or the actual cost that has been sunk into their build.

I think he should put the proper rocker covers back on.
Round covers on square barrels look silly.

£7k .
for a cali that has a t3 tank , seat and side panels.
carbs instead of FI , it WILL have a flat spot at 2.5-3.5 k rpms .

Yep, they look a mess
Maybe, I’ve always found carbs to be less prone to flat spots once set up.
He’s put a lot of thinking into this bike and it looks well made, but seems to be the bike that didn’t need making - 2 inches extra on the seat isn’t going to solve the issue for the pillion. Personally rather have a Spada for touring.
it seems to be running the ign with the ecu ( he doesn't say otherwise ) i have a bike like that , it has a flat spot , cos the ecu gets no signal from the TPS , cos it ain't there.
Hasn't sold yet.....
Agree, the owner/vendor has done a really nice job and invested a lot of time and probably money in this. I like it but I don’t think it will make £7k
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, value is definitely in the eye of the builder.
That for sale Paul?
It came up under a search for '09 Cali for sale, but that doesn't mean much. You imagining it on a drive in Beverley...??
And on the subject of wild optimism in respect of 'specials', beat this if you can - https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans...orbikes-scooters&utm_content=79749_1792143760

I’m tempted to do something like that with mine - it has even got a similarly rusty rear shock
