Hi, I introduce myself, my name is Antonio. I live in Cordoba (Spain). I am 25 years old. I build this bike with the help of my father. I bought a motorcycle to transform it into a cafe racer.
This is the bike:

Congrats man, you've got a great looking bike shaping up very nicely there. Keep the photos coming!
 
Nice, except the tyres, those things should be illegal. You should have gone with good sticky tires, not bricks. Other than that, should be a nice looking bike, Change the tyres and you could even ride it.
 
It is very common to mount these tires in this type of preparations. at least, here in Spain. This motorcycle will not be used for
do great curves or big speeds. I'll try these tires. If I decide that they are dangerous, I will change them. the style of the normal tires breaks the aesthetics of the motorcycle a lot.

I've never ridden on those wheels, but sure do like the look of them. The Firestones are a really popular look over here too in North America, but what you gain in terms of looks you lose in terms of performance. Guess it's all about what you plan for the bike and how you plan to ride it - it's your bike man after all!

I have Dunlop K70's on my bike, they keep the retro look and perform really well too.
 
if you undo the fork caps and let the forks collapse, does anything (wheel, guard) hit anything else (frame, exhaust)?

if you remove the springs from the shocks and let the rear collapse, does the tyre hit the frame?
