Stunning!

Excellent job!!!

Amazing!

Terrible.

That bike is too pretty to ride.

If it was mine, I'd hate to get road dirt on it.

That is one gorgeous motorcycle.

Holy Moly.. Too clean. Definitely inspiring, to say the least. The lines on the tank and rear cowl are so legit.

video of you riding it or it didn't happen >

Amazing, so much polishing! Wow!

Maineiac · Apr 14, 2013

I bow down to your polishing patience. Beautiful piece of mechanized art.

Really shiny but pedals look way too high to be even close to right and ride able.
Cheap pods and VM carbs, looks like a catalog bike to me?(someone looked a t a lot of pictures then paid to have it built without knowing much if anything about motorcycles)
I would 'like' to be wrong, more info on build rather than artsy pics of finished bike
BTW, does kickstart clear brake pedal?

How about you will read the build thread (first post in this thread...) , see that I did everything (excluding the paint) with my own hands, added some new parts as almost every projects do and than comment? 8)

See the bike's condition before, you will see that what was bought had to be built or bought. I built, I restored, I polished and yes, I bought.

That's my first cafe project ever and the thirds bike I ever restored/built. I'm proud of the result.

You build bike otherwise? great, enjoy, I will respect your work, what ever you will do there, that's the thing in what we do. If you have comments, comment - say good things, bad things about the bike and the build but remember that a person built the bike and that person can learn from the comments, when you take it to personal level ("someone looked a t a lot of pictures then paid to have it built without knowing much if anything about motorcycles") you miss the whole point

That's it... had to say it.. ;D

Yes.

BTW, as promised in other thread, a friend of mine will get a good camera so we will take a video of the bike while riding it. It's not just for show

Hi Lior, sorry, missed the link first time around. :-*
You have done a real nice job, you will find it a lot more comfortable with lower pedal position
I'm going to go read through your build thread ;D

Yes I know it's really not comfortable.. I still got some problems with few things... can't lower the left pedal as it hit the muffler, so I'm working on solutions... the pictures were made just when I completed the bike, like.. 10 minutes later... and as you know, you get to know if things work and how they work only after riding it for a while

So... I'm working on it, will have some back-on-the-road mods soon

Thanks again,

Lior.

crazypj · Apr 14, 2013

I posted in the build thread, couple of questions as well, particularly about your ignition trigger set up
You may need to space the pedals out a bit to clear exhaust or even get a curve pressed into them (are they cast or 'billet' 6061?)
That will need longer link rods as well though.
We don't hear about 'everyday' stuff from Israel, only the 'doom and gloom' gets on the news

Hey OP, what sort of throttle housing and tube did you use here? Did it fit the stock throttle cable screw-end?

koonendez · Jul 10, 2013

Inspired!

Hi, sorry, missed your question

I used something I found in a local parts shop (picture below), nothing too complicated... and it fitted the stock one:

are you missing a nut on your left exhaust?
