1987 Honda XL 600 R Cafe Racer build - "Honda Cafe Cross"

I really didn't like the color when you posted the pic with no motor, but the new pics really look good.

I would change the color of the shock spring to something like gun metal grey. Maybe the forks also.

What the!?!? This thing is GORGEOUS! I have an xr500, similar frame, I would have never considered something like this with one of these bikes.

Rusnak: The spring on the rear shock will get a makeover as well

 

[DV2000NJ]

Wow, awesome work man!

 

[compoundcycles]

Nice work. Where are you going to put the battery?

 

[Ocaspersen]

Thanks! The battery will go under the seat, under the little hump at the rear I bought the smallest Ballistic battery since there is only a kickstart...

Wiring... Timeconsuming work :-/

 

[Maritime]

yes it is, but usually means you are almost finished ;D

 

[Steaksauce]

This turned out great, looks very mean

 

[Floegstad]

Stunning bike MR
I really have to hurry to get mine ready for the 1`st of may........
Good luck with the wiring!

 

[Ocaspersen]

Finally it has started again! Now it is only the chain, bleed the brakes, make a license plate bracket and some small things left before it is finished... I have also made an appointment at the Norwegian DMV, on april 7th... Really hope it will pass the approval

Good luck and nice job.

Sorry for the long pause in updates, been a lot of traveling with work lately... BUT the bike is noe approved by the Norwegian DMV, with no remarks!! So happy, and so ready to start the season :-D

I have ridden it just about 10km, and some bolts have needed tightening. It also runs a bit uneven, so i needs an adjustment I guess...

Got to lay som yellow vinyl on the headlight, thinks it looks right.

Very soon I will take some good pictures of it, and of course post them ;-)

Have a nice weekend!

 

[Gixxer]

Awesome. Looks great hope it rides as good as it looks!

 

[Jay Ace]

That looks mean!

Hi guys!

So, here's the pictures of the finished build - Honda Café Cross :-D

The bike is now approved by the Norwegian DMV, have ridden it 10 miles, washed it and it runs and rides good... I'm very satisfied!

Already thinking of what the next project should, time will show...

Have a nice summer, and ride safe!

That thing is awesome, you should be proud. I am going to go nominate it for BOTM to scare the chopper builds.

I thought the same thing! If I can find the thread I'll second it.

Nice work!!!
