last august i went and picked up this little thing for 300 bucks. it ran, but poorly due to broken carb bowl and other fuel leak issues





after about a week of ****ing around with it i got to work. stripped it down to see what of the frame needed to go




picked up a pair of zbars and had them sandblasted


then a buddy and i got to choppin it up at his shop.

Aww, I liked the cafe racer style. Regardless, looks like a fun project.

Awsome build man. Lookin real good. I love buildin bikes. I would suggest, and only a suggestion.....add some type of brace (tube) to connect left to right on both the upper and lower sections you made. I see one brace looks to be where you attached the front of the seat? May add 1 more further back toward the wheel and definitely on the lower. Even though its a smaller CC, it can still tweak. Cant wait to see more pics. My cafe build went on the back burner due to dumping $1500.00 into my Jeep

I liked it as a cafe too. Still awesome. You just have to get another cafe racer.
