Hi, I am also new to this forum, but in my opinion it is very easy to make a cafe out of an RD400. Clip-Ons, Rear-sets, seats and other parts like swingarms, heads... are available - anything else needs your own creativity... Peter

Wow, your cafe is one of the best TX I have ever seen... Peter

Hi all, after my Introduction I will show you all my latest Cafe Project... The Bike I choosed as my project was first shown to German public in a Motorcycle-Magazine in 1990. A Guy had spend a lot of hours and money in this bike to do a very fine cafe Racer. I saw the article in 1990 and...
