"Cafe Racer" such a loose term! Craigslist "Gem" of the week!

I'm going to wire a charger into my headlight wires, so it won't be a parasitic drain on my battery, only work with the key on, and 6" long wires. The speedo app works well that I have, but the GPS keeps an accurate speed as well. I'll probably just run the map at all times.
 
you know haveing the gsp phone signal going while you ride effects yer balance in left hand turns ,don't you ?

I'm like a Nascar racer when it comes to left turns. Maybe it'll keep me from scuffing the elbows up on my jackets.
 
Nice. I toyed with this idea briefly on a different bike but just got lazy and got a gauge. I didn't really give it an honest effort but had some trouble keeping it looking unobtrusive and tacked on...also, the battery cable thing.

It just sticking out is definitely a bummer in most cases, but I'm running a bikini fairing I built that it'll tuck under nicely on this one.

Agreed. Side covers could use some reworking, however.

He wants a whole lot less money than what usually gets asked for on the brat/bob/cafe hack job versions that seem to be so numerous.

Neat project... not sure whats going on with the rear axle, maybe a twisted swinger from backing into those sweepers too hot?

Bikez.com say 12 bhp and those guys are often high estimate. That's dead sea kinda altitude on a cold day 12 bhp

That's pretty cool. Nicely built, not the same old cookie cutter half-cafe, and asking a reasonable price.

Since when was the front disc unique?? Pretty sure all the early 125s had that. And I wish they made 23hp ::)

I noticed the ad is now corrected to state 11hp ;D but yeah I don't know why the seller is praising the brakes. 125's came standard with a front disc from 74-78.
