Had done the same thing for my bike. IMO, less pain and you get a perfect shape.

You guys forgot my bike :o. For the pics, follow this thread: http://dotheton.com/index.php?topic=6338.0 The Yamaha is back to stock. Anyways, on an unrelated note we have a RX135 (2stroker) and it emits excess smoke. We just completed a full service yesterday.

Nice build. I've made a RX100 cafe racer and this reminds me of just that. For some more pics, follow this thread: http://dotheton.com/index.php?topic=6338.0 The tank was stretched by almost five incles. I've noticed that the ride would be EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Try getting in as much...

Instead of closing the thread, why not filter the thread and remove unnecessary posts and comments?!

Well the bike was getting wet all those five days. And maybe the mild steel wasn't of great quality. I've chrome-plated many silencers, handlebars, a cowl, etc from the same guy and the quality is top notch. I have WD-40, but how can it be used to 'coat'? I'll try applying the golden anti-rust...

Well we made some rearsets using mild steel. Got it chrome plated from the regular plater. 5 days passed, and its been pouring heavily here. Lots of rust has appeared on them. Is it better to powdercoat?! Or there isn't any difference?! Have you guys heard of an anti-rust liquid that is applied...

Well missed the white seat out....here it is!

We can all post in pictures of our seats. It'll be great for someone to find a common thread instead of searching for pics of all bikes in different threads. Only finished seats please. Well we've made five seats till now. Black, Chrome, Red, White and Dark Grey in colors.

The most important aspect in this mild build is your taste. Very good selection of parts!

Re: Another RE Project! FINE FINE! Here is a proper pic! >:( Silencer is now upswept. See pic. Bike is almost complete. A few tweakings are pending on: - Handlebar (slightly bent) - Rearsets (gear side is extremely hard | seen in pic) - Still considering whether to put a rear mudguard or not...

Re: Another RE Project! Here is a small teaser :) The rear 130/80-18 does give it a nice show!

Early April 2009 First official project for a friends bike. The bike is a Royal Enfield Standard, 1984 model. Was not in good condition, and the owner wanted to overhaul it completely. So we decided to make it a cafe racer! A small list of planned parts on the bike include: - Goldstar silencer...

PaulTSmith Bracket! Thanks to paultsmith! We made a brake lever for an Enfield. The toe peg looks a little chopperish though. Well the outcome was good and decided not the bend the lever to get it outwards. Made them out manually, without a CNC machine.

Step one complete. Progress: Bolt: Its quite long, so I can cut off how much ever I need. I think its a 10mm bolt. Ball bearing: Got the perfect size. Think its 3/8" itself. Lever: I've given the drawing to a guy who will cut it out in metal. They do not use aluminium. Will be cutting off holes...

Heck you are maddd! :) This is good stuff! Thanks for answering the question in a very simple yet descriptive manner. I'm working on a friends Enfield now. The brake rearsets will be having this setup, since the brakes (and linkage) are on the left side. This post will help me a lot. You even...
