Hi the jacket is made by Held the model is born 46 they are a German company I took a gamble and got it shipped to NZ without seeing it first, very happy. I thin k I got it from FCmoto good luck it may be discontinued, google held born 46 and see what shows up...

Thanks I'm very happy with her, Very different from my Guzzi a different sort of ride and a lot quieter, handles really well on dirt roads, I will put some dual sport tyres on when these are done, something like mt90's here's the Guzzi , no before picture I'm afraid, 79 SP1000 originally,

My 86 R80 Monolever, everything removed can be replaced easily. New subframe just bolts on with new electrics. Acewell unit replaces stock instruments .

'Held' jacket and one tonne pants for some spirited riding.

Thanks Harry :)

Nice bike! is it an 86? here's mine.

Hi The nitro heads seat is too small (i knew that when i ordered it) i will be getting a new rear sub frame loop fabbed for this ( i have a mate who is a very good welder) The nice thing about the r80 is the rear frame is just a few bolts and off it comes so I try and be as non destructive as...

hah thanks . Miob I've really love your builds the R80 that was black and then Blue (or was it the other way around) was a thing of beauty. I see you are on PSB I've been following that cafe racer thread for years and it just keeps going, pretty much anything good shows up on it. btw the...

Hi from Wellington, I joined DTT years ago but kind of got sidetracked. I had aCB750 a friend and I built up in 2009 , sold that long ago and got a Guzzi SP1000 which is my daily transport , also have an r80 that will be getting some love when time allows. : ) Nice to see the cafe scene...

Thanks all I'll post some more pictures soon (I shoot film so things take a little longer) the one I posted was from a workmates camera. I'll add some before and after to the show n shine list. Paul

Hello from New Zealand, My Names Paul, just wanted to introduce myself, I've been a member on this site for a while and mostly troll for information and inspiration, There's not really a cafe scene in New Zealnd but we do seem to have a ton of older british bikes and a big classic scene, lots of...

Shit dude, All i can say is the ladies won't think you look so cool with all your skin missing and a skin graft from your ass to replace the skin on your chest and face. Makes me shudder to look at these. No disrespect but i guess you've never seen the result of a crash whilst wearing a T-shirt...

Hi I'm thinking i'd like to do the same , I love that open look and the CB750s are kind of chubby so I think they look great with a cleaner look. I'm thinking of mounting my oil and tank under the seat hump. But there'sa mess of electrics that will need tidying up too and I'm a noob so will...

Thanks I'm happy howe it looks too. The cutout x was so the wooden seat pan would sit flush against the fiberglass, in the picture attached you'll see the raised X shape on the bumstop. This is an airtech seat but Carpys is exactly the same (same original mould?) Once the foam had been glued...

My pleasure, I've been lurking on this site for a year getting ideas and info, It's nice to have something to contribute. Paul

Re: My Current Rides ..... Thats a fine fine looking Bike, I like the clipon's where are they from ?

here's a few more I didn't do the job as i decided I wanted it done well and it all up cost me about $90 U.S as he gave me a "bikers Discount" :) The seat itself is one of Carpys, I prepped and painted it first the gave it to the upholsterer, He made a wooden pan that fitted into place, This...

Thanks, I'm looking forward to seeing it on the bike too, I will post some pics when all complete (although I feel there will always be things to do, so complete might not be the right word) ;D

Hi from Down Under, I'm slowly cafe-ing my old cb750F I have a fiberglass seat from Carpy at cb750.com and have just got an upholster to make a pan and fit the foam and everything, I decided that stiching along the length of the seat made a nice line and the four stiched rows are a subtle hint...
