One thing I find rather curious. Please bear in mind I'm just a country boy.
Once somebody finishes building a custom bike they don't seem to ride it. They just take a bunch of pictures and sell it. Why is that?
Is that why I have never seen an actual cafe racer in my travels even though I live in an area with a goodly number of busy biker hangouts?

I know what you mean.
I can speak for myself as I am hitting the age of 60 soon and after a few sessions of riding (two-three hours) on/in the twistys of Ortega Hwy, I realized the seating position takes a toll on my back and wrists for days after each ride. boohoo
I guess I just need to hop to Starbucks around the corner for a Cafe and no need to race .... :hide

No, I did go to that extend. Instrument cluster is all original. I just removed the lightbulb for the ABS error.
And I can’t figure out why the warning light is always on and how to troubleshoot it.
Troubleshoot ABS:

Did you remove the ABS relay from the relay box? (It's the blue one.)

I know this is harsh, but the market for a K1100 is in the mid $2000's. Reduce the price and maybe you can sell it to someone as a platform for their own build. Maybe you can get a premium for having done much of the prep work for their build.
As your own experience illustrates, cafe racers are art projects, not actual modes of transportation. That is, the pleasure is in the build, not the long term ownership/use of the finished product. It is rather rare that a buyer ponies up the big cash to purchase one that isn't connected somehow to an established custom bike studio or shows a very high level of workmanship, engineering and originality.

I'd venture to say this might be the wrong place to took for a buyer. Folks here either want to chop them up themselves or ride them till they croak ( the rider, not the bike. The bike is unlikely to croak before the rider). You might have better luck on https://www.cycletrader.com/ or forums/sites that appeal to the custom cycle set.
