Angelo... Black Rain motorcycle?

Is the motorcycle you're interested in knowing about from Black Rain a Harley Davidson Cafe Racer? XLCR 1000 Cafe Racer? Let me know if that's the one, so I can stop looking.

I'm pretty sure that is it. The front fairing is different but the over all shape looks almost spot on. I just need John to watch the first 5 minutes of the movie and listen to the sound of the valves and exhaust

and I'm sure he will figuire it out...

Thanks Modrey!

Good to see you today!

Found this on the web:

No sounds though. XLCR's had black engine cases and the one in the movie has polished cases. XLCR's had an exhaust on both sides but this one has an exhaust only on the right. Definitely a different fairing. Other than that, I am not sure.

However, others are:

It was an Evo Sportster with Storz fairing kit.

Speaking of cafe racers, I got my desmo head partially together with the bevel gears set up, closers on and shimmed and now I just have to mount and shim the openers. So far, so good, knock on wood!
