    Aluminum cafe racer tank clear coat stripping?

    From my understanding, most people run their bare aluminum cafe tanks "bare," and just touch it up with polish and buff out any marks. The clear coat the previous owner put on it is absolutely dreadful...cloudy...and chipping everywhere. I've heard horror stories of people stripping clear coat...

    Bought new bike that won't start...WTF

    Bought a 79 Bonnie off fleabay and had it shipped here (its actually a 79 frame with a 72 engine). Seller sent a video of it starting, running, and riding and then loaded it on my shippers truck, strapped it down, and sent it here. By the way the seller has really good feedback and is going to...

    *Solved* Need advice! Looking to buy a bike, but need a sound identified!!

    I am looking at a 72 Triumph and it seems to have a whisping/hissing/whistling noise and I'm not sure what to think of it. He says its the exhaust...I have a deal worked out with him and wanted to see the bike running first so he made a video (I would be having it shipped)...

    Royal Enfield Cafe Racer News or Thoughts?

    I keep seeing the proclaimed mystical Royal Enfield Continental GT Cafe Racer popping up. You can even pre order it from a dealer down in Dallas (only 2 hours from me...tempting) for a pretty penny ($1000)...

    First bike

    Hello everyone. I just got out of the military and have been bored out of my mind just going to school so I needed another hobby. I love the cafe style and couldn't see myself riding anything else. Was going to build my own but I found a CM400t (I know they suck for cafe builds) on CL for an...
