Starting tomorrow this bike will begin a serious weight loss regimen followed by some lipo and paint. My only regret is that I will not be the one performing surgery. The mechanic, Chris, has been recommended by Power Wheels in Scarborough, ME for a few years now. Great guy. I'll document his work as best I can.
Plans:
Swingarm replacement: preferably aluminum. Anyone know if I can get this for my year?
Spoked wheels
Performance tires
A different tank with Cafe seat/tail, of course. Style/approach undecided, possible a cut tank for the tail.
Smaller battery: To be hidden away. I'm removing the original battery tray/side panels & rerouting wires for a clean look.
Spitfire headlight bucket : http://www.roccitycafe.com/item.php?path=store/bucket,
Speedometer: mounted in headlight bucket
New calipers/controls
New paint: engine, headers/muffler (black), frame (black), tank (white)
Tank graphic: overview of large crow with body topside and outspread wings embracing tank sides. Unorthodox for cafe, I know.
That's all I got for now. I'm sure many other things will come up. Thoughts, suggestions and/or criticism welcome.

After: coming soon ...
