Picture from other side

Fair do's, bro. I just don't really understand the concept of what needs to be done in terms of creating a rear set, especially for my 125. Kind of need the info spoon feeding to me.

Hi mate. Yeah I was thinking about that and have ridden using the rear pegs. Feels fine and I quite like having my feet that far back. Feel like a real racer ha! How would I get the linkage?

Any ideas or suggestions would be cool. Even if I have to have them made for the bike, would be better than not having a café racer. Have some good ideas for engine tuning too!

I'm going ahead with plans to turn my Suzuki GN125 into a café race. Not the best bike to start with, but it's all I've got and all the law will allow me to have (stupid UK bike laws!!). Basically I want to know if it's possible to fit rear sets to this bike model, because without them there...

That ace you have is stunning! Might have to look into getting one then.

Sounds like a pretty cool bike, man! BTW there is a Suzuki GN125 not too far from me, but I take it they are hard to turn into café racers?

What's it like?

Cheers! The sky team ace looks pretty decent, but I've heard loads of bad stuff about Chinese bikes. I'd like to build the bike myself though for the satisfaction. I could pick up a really decent running cg125 for about £700.

Due to UK bike laws I can only ride a 125cc for a while, well 2 years until I'm 19. I have a ybr125cc at the moment that I ride about on, but want to start a café project. Was thinking of maybe a Honda cg125 as they can be had quite cheaply. I want to add a rear set and clip on bars, so I'll...

End result will hopefully look something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DImCbf7sB4A

Hey Guys, I've come into the possession of a GN125 and have decided to make it my first café project. I just need some basic pointers really. I want to turn this into a full café racer over time including fitting a rear set, but I want to take it slow to start with and get the basics done. Where...

From people in the UK please

How much should I be looking to pay for a running bike that could later be turned into a café racer? I'm on the A2 licence, so nothing over 47bhp. It will be my first bike so I need it in good running order, but I don't want anything modern looking if possible. The plan would be to buy a nice...

I'll take a look. And BTW I love that Suzuki sports bike you have. I see you're also an IOM fan. My uncle is going this year for the first time and taking is bike. Guy Martin for the win eh?
