nice bike Chris, you've plenty of ammunition in stock, any chance of a few more shots of the engine on the drive side, could it be a John Clift frame

STF8 would refer to a SuperTwin Fuel bike... Definitely looks like a JC frame though... Sorry I can't help anymore but I agree with Jaytee, that is one nice looking piece of kit! The front wheel may help somebody identify the bike although this could be a new addition as it appears that it has different front wheels in different pictures.

NW you might want to get them peepers checked out, there's Triumph twin motors everywhere

Could that bike be a later development of Les Turner's "Soopa Doopa" 750cc , which Turner built in 1969?
Some frame and engine deytails look very similar.
