Hmm. There are some nice bikes on here, but I really liked the before pictures of a lot of them. If I we a lot of you, I'd sell the bike in the before picture and buy a running ratty bike to cafe.

Well what are you doing on a cafe site then?
haha.

Just kidding, but most of the before pictures look better than the before bikes... If you know what I mean.
It's easy to take a nice picture.
 
I really like the look of a well made Cafe bike, and I have a few really ratty bikes that would be good canidatates. My CB400 Four would never make a good restoration candidate, and will make a sweet Cafe bike when I'm done. But there are a few bikes that I really like the stock look of. I'd really like to restore my '69 CL350 with the stock square muffler back to stock (I don't care for the 70 and later ones so much), and I really like the looks of a couple of the CB750Fs. When I'm done with my CB400F cafe, I have a stock BSA 441 Victor Special to finish, and a 56 Triumph Trophy bobber project. If it's nice (or just rare but complete), I like to keep it nice. If it's more suited for a parts bin, make something cool out of it.

I couldn't agree with you more...
 
saucer,
awesome rides. I second Druro’s request for a left side photo. and where did you get those cafe seats? I would love to get a hold of one. Again, awesome rides.
 
Is anyone else having problems with that second picture? It looks corrupted on my home computer (Mac) and work computer (PC).
