    Thanks for the heads up. I did mount these on the existing venturies because I read that pods can block the jet. I have a shop locally that will be doing my jetting. He's been a little busy. I haven't ridden it much yet but I will keep it to a minimum.

    I had a shop next to my office make me up a pint of a burnt orange. I think it is a Ford color. Shot it myself in my garage and for what it's worth turned out not too shabby. Painted the emblems and filled the Yamaha in matte black. I added a strip to the tank but later on put it over the fill...

    Started out stripping. Lost the airbox and a bunch of parts. Threw some low rise Renthal MX Bars on it. Stripped down the wiring to just what I needed. Primed the tank.

    Well have been a big fan of cafe racers for some time. Finally found the right deal and jumped on it. Picked this up beginning of December 2013. Started stripping and repurposing parts that took off of it. Went pretty fast and I have been pretty happy with it so far. Started out as a Midnight...
