    Carbon Fiber Crazy

    Looks like a living room shop. I'm not sure how much CF work you've done, but once you start cutting and sanding with it, you really have to be careful with the particulates, for yourself and anyone else around you. You'll need good dust control and N95 masks. Consider the stuff as bad as...

    The tank or the thighs?

    xj750 Cafe

    You have radically altered that bike's geometry. The front is too low, this bike will be unstable under braking. What's the rear sag? You may get away without doing an endo with very stiff front springs, but I think you really want a bike that is nice to ride, not something that will break your...

    Sideswipe's '81 CB900 Bol d'Or

    What infectious enthusiasm. That bike is worth serious coin as a restoration.

    78 CB750 CAFE Resto-Mod Build

    You are putting modern, stiff suspension components on a frame that is quite flexible, I would consult a frame expert, as those forces are now going to be transferred to that noodly frame.

    Working on my 1983 Kawa KZ1000R

    Keep on it, ignore the haters, who claim to be experts, but do not know the difference between a KZ1000R, and a Z1000R Eddie Lawson Replica. The KZ is not a rare bike, nor is it collectible. The ELR is a rare collectible bike, which means some stock broker doosh will stick it in storage until...

    81 CX500 yes, it's true, I lied. Build #5

    Very nice build. We usually see people cut off that high seat bracket but your solution works very well. The tank looks awesome. I would plate the muffler. Curious, what kind of dyno numbers can one get off that engine with pods and better exhaust flow? The Vespa comment likely comes from the...

    1980 Suzuki GS850 Cafe Racer Project

    It looks too fluffy, like you want to recline with a TV remote...not what you would want on a cafe racer. Fluffy is not more comfortable, as your butt just compresses the fluffiness immediately. Overall, love the proportions of the bike, but that seat draws the eye like a hairy mole on a...

    It uses GPS to determine speed and distance -no cables!

    Guzzi Cali Cafe - Build Thread

    This...this is what the Guzzi V7 Cafe should have looked like. This porn is not safe for work.

    Guzzi Cali Cafe - Build Thread

    Yeah, those colors aren't right. Guzzi had a nice deep red with black accents that was very distinctive, and I always thought the dayglo orange stripe on the fairings was cool and iconic.

    Guzzi Cali Cafe - Build Thread

    When did this good idea go out of fashion? oh, thank god. Pea soup green never caught on as a racing color.

    moto guzzi v50 iii cafe racer winter project

    I was thinking mimicking the original badge placement, but either way looks good. Personally, I would avoid LEDs on a classic bike. These days, they seem to be all over eBay for kids to put on super-sports bikes (get off my lawn, etc,)

    there's a special level in Hell for those cheap black Emgo fairings.

    moto guzzi v50 iii cafe racer winter project

    I would set the lights into the seat bubble, the diameter is fine. I would set the "III" just below and offset from the V50 -the badges look great on the tail.

    82 gpz 750... its a secret...

    Gpz projects seem to fizzle out on the forum. The later gpzs had a very nice tank and wheels, but still were pretty standard. With pipes and pods, 100 hp is doable. I found this one tastefully done, not a great video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLhkst7Hkx0
