2 cats! There's very little in the way of SS's sub 2k even 600's around on fleabay atm but I'll keep an eye out for one. The 600 monsters are that bit cheaper and imho the monster chassis is much better than the SS ever was so would be a better starting point for a cafe racer.

Just a thought but an Imola style S2R would be cool and could be given a MHR evo look or Red Max style real easy. I've seen plenty (so many) SS cafe racers and most bar one or two look pretty crap (lines all wrong) imho and people want >5k for one for some reason. I think for 1.5k you've got to be flexible and keep your options open and be creative.

I saw a nice ST4S cafe racer that looked pretty recently, it was a private sale and Moto Strada bought it adding 1k to the price.
