Made some short movie about our retro-style roadtrip to Belorussia past summer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4__-v9cgPY Its shot with some cheap pocket camera, so dont kick me hard ;D

Thanks to all! :P Motorcycle scene here is a bit chaotic, sportsbikes, klassics, tourings. Thats becouse till 1991 existed evil empire and all you can get here was some russian Minsk and Voshod motorcycles. Jawa was considered as import and cost a lot, Urals were motorcycles that supposed to...

Aaaaand the season is over again... It was interesting season,.. we made a lot of cafe style roadtrip"s. we had BBQ, beer & a lot of fun while driving our old cafes.. We visit "The last Dictator of Europe" home called Republic of Belorussia, discovered some good roads here, enjoed local cousine...

Finally "cafe" season started here :P New shocks, modified coolant system (again), new throttle grip&cable is waiting for mounting. I made also my ordinary black helmet to look more cafe style. (blue one) Then it was ready I immediatelly scratched it with garage door and need to repaint it :D...

Looks very nice 8) You need to wear sunglasses when you ride it :D and it must be dry weather also or your back and under seat will be dirty.. I have both fenders but still was all covered in mud then I came to some clay and sand road after rain.. even helmet was dirty :D And your rear fender...

Another nice cafe will be on the road soon.. :P Nice tank..

Any news, pics? Have you checked cam chain tension? Its a bit noisy in video but fortunately doesent make rattling noise :)

Ok, I think cafe season 2012 is finish for me.. The bike itself is ok but battery on another bike failed just few days after end of its warranty so I took battery from my cafe and put it into another bike. I must ride it too :D Made only 1500km on it these year, all other miles is on cafe racer...

Its Stator. on these rpm it switching between low and hi voltage circuit. Find repair manual, there is described how to check CDI/stator for faults. or google it :P

140€ for 6 month driving in Finland ?? why, it is a second day since you got your driving license? :D and cx is only 37kw, I dont want to know what insurance for 130kw bike cost here :D I think you must only change your motorcycle papers becouse its 1 seat now, not 2. If you want it full...

That rpm issues do you have?

The seat looks very nice :D what is your plans with rear frame, cut shorter?

yes, they are stock.. But what shocks will fit and are good? Found on internet that some harley and einfield shocks will fit.. I dont want to get very hard suspension also..

Made some new pics on weekend :P One rear shock leaks.. any idea can I repair it? or its better idea to change them for some another shocks?..

Nice project :P what rear suspension you use? and what gel battery you use?

It looks like mine at the start of project :D That will you do with bars? Clip-ons or clubman(?) bars? I see that yours is a bit rusty.. Nice project, would like to see it when you finish it :P

I think this is a good idea, easy to made and dont ned new holes in radiator. If you glue fan switch somewere to your radiator maybe 80c will be ok, if switch is in contact with coolant I still think it is a bit low. But who knows, you can always try different things and look that is better for...

80°c is a bit low if it is in contact with coolant, becouse thermostat opens at 82°c. and is fully open at about 90°c. of course it depends where you mount fan switch. Acewell clocks looks cool but I like analog more, especially on old bikes. But it have all necessary things and is small also...

Oh, sorry. I have read about this CDI version but tottaly forgot about it. Just said it in case you have something broken and need parts.. :D
