LADIES AND GENTS..............I'M FINISHED

She's a beaut - love the frame color. You should paint an inner front fender brace black and get it on there to keep the forks working together.
 
Big ups on the Speed Racer ref 8)

So what did you have to do tuning-wise to get it run well with the open pipe?
 
That is a mean looking cafe... exudes tough! The big meaty tires, black shorty exhaust, engine covers... TOUGH!

Great job!

Tim's right though... you need as forkbrace up front... handling will vastly improve.

for less that 30 bucks you can get a set of jet reams and create the jet size you want. i do vintage VWs with big engines and i do all my own jetting. i start a touch small and then ream until i get what i need. then i just label the set.

Nice total cost Shortround, hard to believe that a bike looking that good could be had for so little.

Any pics of the guage overlays? I was thinking about redoing mine over the winter.
