Cafe Racers

[Streichholzschächtelchen]

This thread is so sick.
My friend is building a BMW cafe racer, I'll get him to post here.

I think I know who you are talking about. Nik's r75/6?

[scabzzzz]

My wife is fighting me on getting a bike (been wanting another one for a long while now) ... any of you guys go through selling the idea to their wife/GF?

her thing is all of her friends who have been in the bike scene have died (most of them doing stupid stuff)

I hear it from just about everyone that DOESNT like motorcycles.
And everyone I know thats died has been either drunk, stunting, or just plain unlucky.
Im not exactly looking to push the limits ya know. I just wanna putt around and enjoy the machine for what it is.

I am recently got a 76 CB360 running and stripped down. I have been tearing up the back roads on it all spring and summer. Unfortunately I do not have any pics yet. My bike has kinda taken a back seat to the collective project me and my friends have been working on.

it is a 75 Suzuki GT550 with a few modifications ;)



In that picture it is in mock-up stage. It is currently being put back together after being painted and all that goodness.

you can see the full build at http://www.customfighters.com/forums...ad.php?t=41400

Here is a video of it in action

the fairing is sick, but that motor is where it's at! 18,000rpm inline 6 w/ a 7spd. and the sound... mmmmm... your bike is coming nicely btw! I just ordered clip-on's, grips, bar end mirrors, and nitro rear's for my XJ650. Excited!

Clip-ons? Your doing it wrong... J/K!!

Here's my xj650.

I am most certainly picking up a full race fairing for my bike, so I've decided. They just look sooo good.

Update on my bike. Waiting on a backorder from Dime City to come in.
As she sits now:

what in the world was that originally?

[MonkeyMadness]

I'm very green to these bikes and building them. I don't even have a motorcycle endorsement on my license yet. Engine mods will probably wait a bit. However, the bike has "Screamin Eagle" pipes that I don't totally love the looks of. What 2-1 pipes do you like?

Ok, you and I need to be friends. these bikes are a blast to build..
there like a small block chevy, anything and everthing you throw at it makes it run better than it did on the show room floor..

You can do anything to them..
I have this carb fully jetted and setup for you + two extra jet kits and a stock load of parts avalible..
I'll give you the carb & jet kits for $60. + shipping.
I also have an extra set of cylinders and pistons for the 883 in black
I have valve covers and much more crap sitting in my Shop wasting space. So at some time if you want them let me know..

The pipes you have are crap, the SE pipes are stockers uncorked..

Any 2-1 pipe will do better than what you got..
Find one "you" like..

I have a stream line seat and a few other thing to make it look better you can have too..

OH i think I have a set of higher lift cams for the 883 too but I'll have to look.


pm me when you get a chance... :pimp:

Picked up my canvas today!! '99 Sportster 883.

good start, i have been thinking of building one of these too (although i will need a little more motor). Have you checked out roland sands' new sportster stuff?
