"Cafe Racer" such a loose term! Craigslist "Gem" of the week!

The seat upholstery needs redone- racing suede would be cool. Still, l'm just not sure . . . I too want to like it due to not being like all the others, but . . . hmmm.

 

[CarbsAndCylinders]

I like it, but then I used to like my AMC Hornet. Needs new upholstery, I agree.

The seat in a silver suede would be sweet. My first reaction was "She's pretty in that dress, just don't look underneath"! In that it seems a little un-natural...

Is this a project where someone put a lot of work into and when finished said, "WTF have I done?" - then decided to sell it?

I admire his fabrication skills, just not too keen on the melding of 2 different types of bike. But, to each his own. $3200 would buy a nice bike. This wouldn't be my choice.

I love the battery box on this "Cafe Racer style" bike.

 

[buckeyebike]

I love the mismatched rims and tires, uber-cool.

Third picture from the bottom, does that fuel line look kinked to you?

Hey, it's made out of copper, he could also claim it's a little steampunk too! I like the homemade head light brackets- looks like the trees will be well lit on night rides. And yes, fuel line is seriously kinked-twice. Shame, there's some good hardware on this XS.

 

[CarbsAndCylinders]

Re the battery box, what kind of knots do you guys recommend for the retaining wires?

-Won American Bagger Magazine Editors Choice award at Baddest Bagger in Daytona
(OK, Im not completely sure the Editor meant "Baddast" as being something to brag about)

...Kinda along the same lines as "Winning the Darwin Award"

- 3rd place in Extreme Bagger at the Rat Hole Bike show in Daytona
(I wonder how many of these things are in Daytona....3 Maybe)

Or, Maybe its the only one...and still it can only win 3rd place.

AND, Both titles "Baddast Bagger" and "Extreme Bagger" Sound to me like Gay porn .com sites about Homosexuals "Tea Bagging" as a sport.

Got to admit this would be a great bike for riding around VMD... but not for $1200!

"very well made not a hack job"
I mean, he did put carpet down over the plywood, that's top notch stuff.

I would ride the shit out of that. Come on - a couple of rally seats and a cage and it's good to go.
