New to Building Cafe Bikes...

Hey,

I'm from California. I like to build rat rods, and I'm into tuning German cars.

I love motorcycles, and the cafe scene is incredibly cool. I've been riding for about 5 years (since I was 21) and my most recent bike is a 1981 Suzuki GS 1100. I've owned many other bikes including a Yamaha RD 400 Daytona Special, 1985 Kawasaki Ninja 600r, and a 1979 Kawasaki KZ 1000 that I made a Mad Max 'Goose' replica out of.

I recently got a free Yamaha SR 250, and I want to make a Cafe bike out of it (not a bike you can Do The Ton on, but it'll look cool anyway) I found this place on accident, and I'm really surprised by how many people are into cafe racers, and how much information and parts there are available. I recently started working at a motorcycle shop, and the owner likes to build custom classic street bikes to bring in extra cash, so I have a wealth of tools and knowhow at my disposal.

This place is an inspiration, and I hope to learn a lot from you guys.

Here's my GS 1100

Welcome, check out LunarC'c SR250 Cafe in Big Arse Projects. It will blow you away.

Cheers,

These are some pics of my 1980 Yamaha SR 250. It was complete when I got it, but I began taking pictures after I started taking parts off of it.
