Ah right, Only had that planned because i dont have a full licence, plan was to build up that bike, ride it for a bit, do my full licence after a while then swap all the bits to a cb200 or similar. But looks like its gunna be too hard to find the bike itself/wont be worth it, so thankyou all...

Hello all, been a while since ive been on this forum, so bear with me. Remotely getting interested in bikes again, but ive decided this time, if i plan to ride a geared bike, im going to do it properly. Ive always been into cafe racers, and i started to convert my gp100 into one, but i frankly...

Love these bikes, small bore, but goes a decent speed and sounds cool. From the 70s too. Not much money over here in england, definately my next project when i pass my bike test.

Hey folks, This is the third time i've typed this up thanks to my internet freezing. Seeing as i've upgraded to a bike double the size of my previous, i'd thought i best get some proper gloves. I dropped £24.50 (inc. p&p) and they arrivied the other day. Here they are: A pair...

http://www.tachibana-helmet.com/products_lineup/custom/custom_gt750.html That one is the business! I like that second one as well, i wouldnt know how on earth to get hold of one of the tachibana ones though!

Sorry should have specified, i've already got an open face, im after a retro/vintage looking full face one!

This is brilliant! Wish i could do something like this.

Ah ok i get you. Do you know of anything vintage looking that i can buy new?

Hey there, another topic from me so i apologise. Over here in the UK is considered insanely stupid to buy and use a vintage helmet, especially on the road. Its said that they have a 5 year life span and we're told (i certainly was when i did my cbt) that if you so much as drop a helmet...

Right, this bike is now refusing to start at all. Its flummoxed both me and my parents. Initially we noticed air in the fuel line which we thought might be causing it to run erratically, so I drained the tank, swilled it out, blew it through, blew the fuel tap through and cleaned the filter...

You wont get one specifically for a leather jacket, but if you find a pattern for a similar looking jacket of some description you could probably work around it. If your mum knows what shes doing she'll be able to do that.

Hey there. I stumbled across this site: https://metroracing.com/products_cat.php?c=11 And those 'jerseys' or jumpers as we'd refer to them in the UK, are brilliant. As is the rest of the clothing the offer on there. But what im asking is, is there a UK site that offers the same sort of...

Well thankyou very much! I do appreciate your approval and im shocked you'd swap such nice bikes for this! I'd certainly do that, if you were in england that is! I've got a flywheel puller coming in the post cos this is in desperate need of help, its running like crap at the moment. Once...

Cheers all! This thing will apparently do about 70, so should do me fine for a few years. Reason is so quick is the fact its two stroke, it doesnt make the coolest noise but it does the job. It'll look good when its done, just a case of getting there.

I checked out norman hyde and the cheapest decent looking bars they have are £40. As for dimecitycycles, im sure import duty would kill it, but i used their shipping estimator and the cheapest service they offered was at a cost of $54.21, so thats out as well. Nobody got anything lying in...

Hey there. Im in the UK and im in need of some cafe racer handlebars. The wraparound type. Im not looking for pristine ones, im on a budget so as long as theyre strong and solid and not handmade by a teenager that used bird shit welding then thats fine, surface rust is not an issue. I've...

Cheers man! I got insured on it last night, and i've just got back from a ride round and petrol station visit. Its so nice being able to do a bit of speed rather than holding the world up on my old twist and go. As soon as my filler arrives i'll have a nice looking seat!

Right, im now done for the day, annoyingly. For some reason, a whole tub of filler wasnt enough. So i need more filler before i can carry on!

Well the plate and L plate might cover that, so i might be ok! Yet another update, i seem to be doing well today. I've now relocated the indicators ready for when that small part of the rear frame comes off: Also test fitted the seat, which was partially still drying at the time, hence...

Cheers! Are you sure you need the rear mudguard? i've seen all sorts of cafe racers go through mot's without them, as well as bobbers without rear mudguards at all? Small update, by the way. Few pictures for you. Here it is all screwed together with plate brackets. And heres the...
