Let me introduce my build of the R9T 2018 café racer from france.
I bought the motorcycle which had 1000 km in August 2021

I immediately removed the mirrors and the horrible rear mud flap by adding a Rizoma offset plate and a Wunderlinch rear light to close the rear loop,with mini rizoma indicators .

the idea then was to change the color of black rims, in polished aluminum and to change the silencer to free the rear wheel while remaining in the vintage spirit. this is where everything degenerated with the idea of a café racer which required the installation of a clip-on handlebar, which required the change of the fork yokes, the installation of a fairing, the removal of the rear triangle which revealed the ugly square frame under the seat bottom. it was therefore necessary to design and build a rear loop in which I integrated a rear light to hide the unsightly square frame that we see on all the R9Ts which have removed the rear triangle. In the heat of the moment, I built a lower fiberglass seat bottom than originally too imposing for my taste and especially surrounded by totally inappropriate black plastic. Finally, several small covers were adapted to hide the plastic air filter and the total paint, including the rocker covers and the seat support triangles in polished black cerakote paint in certain places.
