carbon moto
manufacturer of quality cafe racer parts
Now the xbr project is 99% finished (just got a few silly bits to do & a photo shoot at the end of next week, will post pics)
We have now started another build, a 7k miles gs550 that's been in storage for most of its life.After cleaning the bike it is obvious that it is in very good condition no rust on the frame at all so its a good base for a cafe racer.
We have quite a few gs550 5 or 6 ish so the idea is that we make this bike into a kit that can be bought to convert the 550 & 750 into a cafe racer with everything documented in the instructions, all fittings brackets etc included, this will be the test mule so to speak.
We are making a completely new seat for this bike,starting with foam & covering it with body filler with lots of saning to get the shape, my lad has put something like 15 hours into this already, then we can make a mould or 2 & knock some seats out,The look im wanting is similar to the next picture (nothing fits properly as we have to de lug the frame & make a new base for the manx norton tank to fit the gs frame then it will sit properly.
This one might even have a fairing
