Hey I've just stumbled upon this forum and find it very helpful and inspiring. I've been wanting to build my own cafe racer recently... sport bikes and the like don't suit me, and what does is out of my price range.
It looks like the most popular way to go is the CB route, or other comparable 4 strokes? I found an RD400 in my area and wanted to know if that would be a similar build experience?
Factors that I'm considering are aftermarket and parts support (seems to be high for CBs), manufacturer's shop manuals, little to minor fab work. This being my first bike, the RD400 seems to be a little limited..?
What say the mob?
