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

that fella with the dohc 750 k raised up the rear a lot as well,in case no one saw that,witness the swingarm angle,he raised it at least 3"
i can only assume ,the motherfucker is so stupid, he figgerd dropping the front 3 would cancel out the rear raised 3
wtf else could it be ? not aesthetics cause it really looks awefull like a car builder who never even learnt to ride a bicycle decided it was time to show the mowtoes how to build a racer
the biggest burn of all is the motherfucker has the nerve to basically say it is a great design and a great motorcycle to ride, you should buy it, i built it just like a pro
it hasn't even been properly and thorouly test ridden like an oem does with every new design change model so they don't foist a trojan horse booby trap on a hapless public
the pro builder, dohc boy,has more radically molested , changed the charicteristics in one year more than the cumilative or otherwise ,changes than there has been in the entire history of mof motorcycles on this planet
nope cause it wouldnt be getting sold, for anything but scrap after the wreck
after all he built this fine looking great riding bike and now you can buy this same as a pro bilt unit

Part it here I would buy a motor just to freshen up for my kids cb and then do the swap in winter but way too far for me

PM me, I'm about to potentially part a 78' CB, and could make it an excuse to take my girl to Memphis for a weekend.

When each modification comes with a disclaimer, it has to be safe... right?

"The bracket I have now for the seat was always supposed to be temporary, but I have not yet devised an alternative" :eek:

That's called the "cafe look"- raw and unrefined.
 
As someone who's been in retail sales my entire life, I have to say that's an innovative approach to showing the features and benefits of an item. "this is kinda cool, but it might suck, you could possibly fix it, or maybe not."
That'll sell it for sure!
 
I don't know much about these, but some of you might.

Sign the seller up as "asshole". He basically destroyed a desirable bike because he was too much of an ass not to sell it 35years ago.
 
$2500, for a wheel I guess.

Don't low ball him, he has emotional attachment (to a wheel, I guess).
