    Clymer or Haynes manual?

    Garage Rat, That wasn't very helpful. I think both are pretty good. The nice thing about having both is they some times cover something the other book didn't. I have found that the different way a picture is taken can be helpful as well. If you can and money's not an issue just get both...

    American Made - Whats it mean to ya?

    We are a big fan of American made. To me there is a sense of pride in knowing that making our products here pay a wage to someone who may have a family. The other is the fact that this country has outsourced for so long that we have become a society of " I want it cheap" who cares about...

    Is it just me or are Cafe Racers just....

    If all these bikes look the same then do something about it. We sorta felt the same way. So Cafe Fabrications decided we would make our own stuff and give our build the look we wanted. Cafe Fabrications was never meant to be a business. It just happened that way. Ya a lot of Cafe Racers do...

    Aftermarket wiring harness' who wants one?

    The goal with this harness will be to eliminate a lot of the unnecessary wires and leads that come on the factory harnesses. So in a sense these would be universal to most models. These bikes that we build are suppose to be simple and that's how I want to make the harness. The harness would...

    Exhausted

    Totally disagree here. Our battery is mounted under the swingarm. Not attached to the swingarm. There is room depending on the dimensions of your battery. We made a small box that holds the battery and its protected from the elements. Check out our website WWW.cafefabrications.com if you look...

Signals,lights, starter switch , and all the necessary leads for coils and charging system. Would this be...
