Ive been away from the forums a long time so i wanne post some pics of my SR 500 Cafe racer.
This is before i did anything to the bike except fiddling with the carbie.

And this is after ive done some work on it. New paint, redid the wheels. New frontbrake(R6), new exhaust, new carbie, K&N Airfilters(removed the airfilter-box),
Put a nice hot streetcam in it, reinforced valve rockers, R6 brakecylinder and many other thingies ;)

This is my Yamaha XT600E from 1993 that i did some supermoto work on.

Here it is the way i got it:

Here are several photos after ive turned it into a supermotard(mind you still only 45hp on the engine...)
Got Warp9 wheels from a CRF450F on it. New Avon tires. Polisport headlight, LED-blinkers,
FMF Powercore exhaust from a DRZ400. Had to make a framesupport as the original exhaust was supporting the frame.
Got a nice digital speedo on it so i know just how much im breaking the speedlimit ;)

I use an Acewell Ace - 2853. Havnet connected the part wich shows how much fuel ive got left.
To much work for something i dont need. Works very well.
 
Been a long time since I've been on here. Time to update the pics of my CB500T
It started out Bone stock, and has gradually evolved into a sweet little ride.
Before;

After sorting out some electrical issues, dumping the crappy disc for a TLS, and changing the bars, mirrors, signals, rear shocks, tail light, etc. I've got a number plate for the front fender in the works, and a few other changes in the future, but here is how it stands now;

OK, I finally put the Pedestrian Slicer on;

New lens = new photo's.

Took my BMW R80 cafe racer for a little ride and a photo shoot. I really like the result, so I decided to bore you guys with the result as well :)

Where did you find those rims? I love those!
 
Some amazing work from all you guys. I am humble about my build. I love a good cafe build because there just aren't any rules or boundaries....

Wow, super clean beautiful bike, I need to break out the elbow grease :-[
 
Thanks Callmenames,
The bike has taken on yet a new look since that last photo. With the addition of the Slicer, something didn't look quite right to me and someone suggested removing the fairing since it had a more modern look than the rest of the bike now. So by simply taking off the fairing everything works. I like the new more vintage look, plus I can put the original undrilled fender and fairing back on for a more modern look in the cooler months.
