i just bought my first cafe last week, a 76 xs500. i bought it for 350 bucks and tore it down over the weekend. i have an idea of where im heading, but ill just play it by ear.
started chopping today, i removed the lover half of the upper triples handle bar mount. im going to run clip ons so no need for these. im going to leave the threaded holes for now, im not sure if i will need a mounting location on the trees and these may work great.
ill keep this thread up to date during the build with plenty of pictures and hopefully process.
im always down for input and criticism. let me know what you think.
how i bought her:
how she sits now:
