    Not at all, so far everyone whose rode it big and small haven't had any problems. My knees do get a little toasty on hot days, but on cooler days or up in the mountains I don't notice.

    some pics I never posted of the new layout for the foot rests and controls. Pushed them 5" back and 2" up. It's a much more comfortable ride, for sure. I also made a new side stand and removed the mechanics stand.

    Thanks everyone for the comps. Hey Tin, as far as filter foam at first I used some industrial air filter pads, but it didn't last. It tore a hole in it, since then I've been using a UNI filter around the outside of the stacks.

    Cafe Racer pricing in todays economy

    Well put, I do believe this thread has died. All in all we got enough intelligent responses to safely say the question has been answered.

    Cafe Racer pricing in todays economy

    To stay on track, I guess we can say that builders should put a reasonable price on their bikes, if it sells for what your asking then good on you, but if it doesn't then obviously one would need to reevaluate their price. On a different note: Oily, that pink bike made me throw up a bit and...

    LMAO! Ghetto Guzzy. Well, a guy came in last night took her for a spin and went home and put a bid in. I dropped it down to 3k, I'm not looking to get rich building bikes. I love building them and I love it when someone else appreciates my concepts. I have a full time job, this is all for...

    There is very little stock about the look of this bike. The tank is from a CB400f, with a lot of frame work going into it fitting, the subframe is non stock as well and the shock placement is original, but the shock is not. The original GL had an airshock. I just listed this bike the other...

    I certainly would never compare or value my work with the likes of today's top builders, but I do believe in my talents and the visions I have for junk bikes that need a new life with the funding I have to enjoy this work. I personally love the way this bike came out and I'm proud to put my...

    Swan, I see what ya did there. ;) This bike is my take on a modern cafe, taking a bike you normally wouldn't see in this fashion. A "cafe fighter" as some have deemed them. By no means did I try and represent the cafe's of old with a 80's bike. I designed this bike with today's...

    Firstly calm down bro, breathe, (jk). Like I said before, I'm feeling the market, hence this thread. Cafe's are selling at odd prices ever since the TV show came to being, so it's hard to judge where to start. There are some precedents that need to be made and that's what I'm getting at with...

    Not taken the wrong way at all, I understand completely what you're sayin'. Kinda why I wanted to get a feel for what those in the know think. Thanks for the input. That's exactly why I started it at 5k. One listing (in Australia) ended the day I listed this one and sold for 5k and I saw...

    Cafe Racer pricing in todays economy

    What's everyone's take on custom built Cafe racers and the price they should be going for with the new craze going on? I'm testing the water on mine currently and I'm getting mixed feedback saying it's way overpriced and then that it's a decent price and I should stick with it. So I'm just...
