Re: Yamaha SR Cafe/Bobber Exhaust options; 1) Supertrapp Universal Alloy Racing Series 2) Cherry Bomb - already have one lying around. I would use a lot of baffling but might be too loud and open? 3) Emgo style shorty cone muffler. We all know what it looks like.

Re: Yamaha SR Cafe/Bobber Frame rusted too easily when it was raw, even when clearcoated. Powdercoated in 'dark charcoal' - ended up coming out as a deep blue. Welded 4mm plates to mount seat and add stiffness. Bent the rear plate over the edges for signal mounts. Engine painted in VHT...

Re: Yamaha SR Cafe/Bobber I'm looking for a tire for 90% road 10% off. I think the k270 is a bit too chunky for my type of riding. The Pirelli you mentioned comes from the Mexico Tracker build, and I believe that a 19in not an 18? I don't believe Pirelli make an 18in mt60. Correct me if I'm...
