Hi:
I'm spending more time on the forum, so I figure I should start posting my project updates here. To catch up, please read my website (http://www.fiaccone.com/CafeRacer/Cafe.html). I always post the details there.
First, I finished the brake side of my rearsets. I'd like to shorten the rod 1/2" on each side.
Next, the kicker. I had to use a kicker from a CB750. I then modified it to clear the rearsets. That bolt locks the kicker into position
See how it clears?
I also made a license plate mount. That's my tailight. Not my best eBay purchase, but I should have read better. Turns out, it is plastic
Here is the bracket. If this is unsafe, please let me know!!
Here I am on the bike showing the stance. I think it works out.

Here is the bike from the front. I need to raise the headlight. I also want a new tach. If you know of a lower profice tach that will work with the CB350, please let me know!
The nice thing about the front view is that you cannot see the license plate mount. I really like how I was able to keep the very narrow look of the bike.
Next weekend, hopefully, I'll tear down the bike and start prepping for paint. This is where things get fun.
