Hi will show some of my plans and the story behind my budgetcafé.
also my first bikebuilding.
I used to fix old cars, but got totally bored on all the rust on old cars a lot of welding...
Still have one a VW 1500 1965 Notchback. for when the car needs comes back.
So decide to start on motorcycles instead, got my daily rider Aprilia Strada 650.
but no need of fixing on that one.
i try to set the prices in $ dont know if its cheap or expensive to US prices.
my budget is, i dont want to spend more than $2000 on a fun ride.
but all knows how that ends...
First i bought the bike itself a broken down GSX 1100 that was made into a streetfighter.
with GSXR 1100 1988 forks, and monoshock rear from same bike.
the owner had taken some of it apart and wasnt able to get the electrics back so it didnt run. many parts was missing from it, the only complete thing was the engine.
Wich was the only reason i bought it for $700
was fitted with 36mm mikunis from a GSXR KN-filters, Dynatek 4000 ignition.
1168cc, tuning camshafts and a big cylinderheadjob. reinforced clutch etc.
and dyno papers with a 128 Rwhp.
so parts would get most money back if it fails
Getting home spending an evening with some electrics, started it up, did run nice ;D
then stripped it down.
This is how it looks today. i should have taken more photos....during building.
