thanks bud... but i am going to make my own paint... most rootbeers take 4 to 5 layering coats to get that color... i want to shoot it in a single stange... the gold i am going to make my flake with crushed glass to really make it pop... this is a budget build... if i can not make it myself or fix what it has... i will not be using it... onlything new on the bike is going to be tires, bearings, and brake pads!

No not too often, I tried to do something last year nothing came of it, but me and a few of my like minded cafe friends hang out at S&L cycles in Waconda since they build cafe bikes and stock all of the parts, and we hang out over at Nostalgic Autobody in Island Lake since they paint a lot of vintage bikes/ cars.

cafe racer
But officer! I had to run my Cam in at 7000 RPM.
Hey gang
Thanks for the words and you are right, the seat did not suit it as the bike was so small, the Girl wanted a seat that she could ride 2 up yet keep the Cafe style.
but I changed the bike with the seat and podwercoated the rims etc and a few more touches to the motor.
She had to sell it as the thing was too fast for her with the hopped up motor and dunstall pipes.
I have learnt alot since then though.
Peace and Grease to you all.
Here is my latest creation, yes, you are right, thats a Magneto and a Supercharger on there.

Hey there
Of course I remember you mate, been a while i know, but I have been throwing my self into desgining new products and of course, creating cafe Racers, such as the Koppa Kafe which I did so much. The motor is a Ko and is blue printed.
The Supercharger runs by belts and pullies from the crank, as does the magneto on the otherside.
The yoshimura is an original series one I have had over 30 years, the swing arm was in my mums shed for 3 decades until last september, i used 3 gas tanks to make one. And of course, slung on a double chain as she kept eating single ones.
But its a fun bike and really turns heads for sure.
Glad ya dig it my friend.
