Thanks for all the posts guys. I'm going to try to look into more parts and see if this is worth doing and how much it would cost to do right. If I could get a cheap donor bike I might be willing to put more money into it. I'm in Nursing school right now, but when I finish in a year and a...

I wasn't talking about rattle cans lol. I've been wanting to learn how to do automotive paint for a while and if I did this I would use a real HVLP gravity feed paint gun. Do the wheels look bad if they're stock? I wouldn't think they would need a ton of work, just getting them shiny again.

I've been toying around with the idea of building a cafe racer for a few years. I have a 2005 R1 that's my baby, and I won't sell her so if I build a cafe it will be on a budget. I found this 1980 CB 550 K3 (?) and absolutely fell in love with it and I think it would be an easier conversion...

Anyone have a Greg Hagerman subframe for the Virago XV 750 build? Or any other parts that went into that build? Thanks :)

Damn, I found something else that I thought was what I needed. I might postpone this project if this is the case... I found the price for DocChop's subframe that works with the MotoLanna seat and it was about $600 as well. I'm not sure if this one that you posted would work or not.

Hey, I'm hoping to start my build soon. I'm really hoping to pull off something similar to Greg Hageman or Stanley Tang's bike. I know I need Greg's sub-frame and possibly his gas tank mount. Do I need a separate seat pan if I use the same MotoLanna seat that these guys did? How much does...

Thanks a lot, that's definitely a cool bike. I know the wheels are a bit of an issue but I think it would be worth it to me to have that low maintenance shaft drive. Can't the spoked wheels be swapped from the XS 650 and XS 1100? I know that's what Stanley Tang from this site did. I don't...

What's the advantage over the normal 920? I'm kind of interested in getting a bike with a shaft drive. I know they're not as powerful, but I don't need a ton of power from this bike. My f4i has more than enough power. The cafe will be for fun, it just needs to be able to handle highway...
