Ok, now you're just bragging! :D

Re: 1988 CBR600 cafe---color idea done, next up exhaust Cool. Enjoy your work.

Looks sharp, nice work!

Nice collection. I've contemplated a red seat myself, maybe a winter project just for kicks? I'm still trying to get my black seat right, but your mini write-up should help with my overall plan. Thanks.

My engine flats out around 5-6k, then picks up again. Could be carbs, but I'm quickly heading toward thinking it is CDI or Stator related. I have a blown engine in my garage, may have a good stator, of course getting to it and replacing mine is the work part I'm not looking forward to!!!

Nice "pretty much finished" product. Good lines on that beast.

Tried "new" coils, didn't help. As a bonus, I threw my back out so work on the bike has been postponed a few weeks. Ugh. Hopefully the new covers will be on next week, and the carbs/flat spot worked out.

So, normally people are trying to get away from the ugly duckling CX500 by turning it into a "cafe racer" (I'm no exception, and my bike certainly needs improvement), but this cat took the bike in another direction entirely: http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/mcy/3206513386.html I'm not saying...

Thanks for that, might be able to make it.

Yeah baby!

Re: CB 550 K Cafe Racer Conversion #Dangerous driving lessons# People can be selfish. Glad you were prepared to allow them their moment ;)

It's been great watching this build. I've often thought the same as you, no sale except for "crazy money" - mind you my bike's crazy would be more like $3000! I hope you'll hit us up with a link to your car rebuild. Take care.

Re: CB 550 K Cafe Racer Conversion #Update# license plate holder Coming together nicely. Do you need arms for indicators or could you alter your seat and integrate them? Perhaps simple LED bars running the underside or top of plate? This will look nice coated.

Awesome indeed!

Sounds good to me. Glad you kept the blue centers.

Not much to report lately. I've been dicking around with my carbs and troubleshooting some rpm issues. After adding my slash cut exhaust I have new problems with jetting/mix screws. I hate to say it, but I'm thinking I may need a new stator sooner rather than later, but I'm hoping I can get...

I second bar end mirrors. They are without doubt, the clearest mirrors I have ever used and I think look cool as sh!t. I've got a round set, which IMHO I think takes less away from the lines on a bike like this, but opinions are like , , , As to your video, I think it was great, and real...

Hey Tolka, thanks. I grabbed some Harley shocks, not certain what model but I'd guess Sportster. The gel battery I'm using is MotoBatt. If you'd like the specific model let me know. I like the MotoBatt gel, it keeps a strong charge longer, especially after several start attempts. Plus, you...

My thoughts would be go with your vision. If it suits the bike, then it ain't a fad, it is art. I do however totally get your angst. For me its like numberplates. On some bikes they look cool as sh!t, on others they make it look like it is trying too hard. The reality is, grips are cheap...

Re: CB 550 K Cafe Racer Conversion #selfmade fender brackets Looking good. I love clip ons. How many builds have you done? You have some good ideas floating around that head of yours! Really like that trapezoid seat cover, came out nicely.
