Yeah I don't think this guy stripped all of that and had it powder coated either, I don't think anyone did. Looks like a quick paint and throw a few parts from a cafe kit on it to me.

I disagree, I used to powder coat and help with builds like this. The paint on the tank, fender and side panels is awful, but the chassis had to be stripped, it was welded and fitted for that seat and new rear sets, old bikes like that dont have chassis that look that clean, paint would look like **** if it was applied over rusty dirty metal. The forks, they look like powder, paint doesn't stick to cast aluminum and give that kind of finish. The springs on the rear shocks, stripped and powdered. The engine cases and cylinders, paint doesn't look like that on an engine for long if it isnt powder. IMO, that bike was completely taken apart and built with care. Its clean from what I can tell from looking at the pics carefully.
Its hardly a "hack"
anyways, carry on, I had my two cents.
