I like the whole bike! Very clean and open tail section and I don't know what you did to that tank, but it looks awsome. Just to accomplish those two things took a ton of planning and work. Good stuff!

None of the lights on my bike are led, however they would certainly make a nice addition if you are willing to spend the bucks. The signal lights are cheap emgo carbon fiber style lights that I would probably not use now. I think I would probably use a small retro style chrome light. AS far...

Hi Birchw1. The fender on my bike is sectioned approximately 4 inches in the middle. I rewelded and finished it so all the factory rolled edges were preserved. The light is a lucas style with the integral plate bracket. I found the stock light assembly to be to large . Thanks for the kind...

That Triumph bobber is deadly!

Re: 1975 CB550 F cafe... What year ninja swingarm is that and what did you do to bolt it in. From your pictures it damned near looks like a direct swap!

Thanks for the link to your initial post biker_reject. Deviant 1 made some interesting comments there. I'm hoping it stays in the realm of the working class budget where the megadollar ride is the exception and not the rule.

Sitting there watching Speed TV this morning and there featured on Two Guys Garage is Fuller Building a cool cb550 cafe racer. If anyone is interested, go to the Two Guys website and check out times when the next episode will be aired.

For a guy who says he doesn't know wtf he is doing, you could have fooled me. That is an awesome looking ride.

On most fenders the factory places a rolled or formed edge along the outside of the fender. If your fender is the same width all the way through to the frame, I would just cut it at the top the length you wish to shorten it and redrill for reattaching. In my case the fender flared out at the...

That is a great looking seat!

This looks pretty good already. I might bob the rear fender about 4 inches. Hopefully that just means shortening the fender at the top and using the existing bottom tail light bolt holes to mount your new light on a custom made bracket. This will preserve the chrome finish and the factory...

200 bones total cost! That bike looks good at more than ten times that price. Good show.

Subtle and clean . I like it.

That bike is going to be just beautiful! Keep the fabrication photos coming.
