The first picture is how I got it. Luckily the guy had kept the chopped frame bits and the seat, rear fender, etc. I was stoked to get this bike back to the way it came off the assembly lone. Some cafe builds are sick but a two-speed semi-automatic Honda 400 ain't it.

CG150 OHV 2v

PE26 35-110 JFN 3rd

Dual SNS stifd suspension (Basically a hardtail if you're alone, only plays if you have a pilon)

DualSportR + SawtoothF tire setup

Mainly used for Food delivery and Occassional joyrides

Dealing with a hacked up frame for an old Kawa. The rear peg bosses were cut off leaving open frame tubes. ID is about 3/4",OD is a hair under 1". What are some options that don't include cheap plastic plugs?

I can mig well enough to fool people from 5' away if that helps.

Thanks!

Work in progress. And btw, I built the RMCR before Harley did.

I’m looking to order a seat from Texavina and have been communicating back-and-forth with their customer service through email and Viber which is a phone messaging app.

I understand there is a language barrier however, the inconsistency and sketchiness of the messages gives me pause before placing an order.

Has anyone dealt with them before?

I think it's fair to say that, thanks to the versatility of the Interceptor/Continental GT platform, I've had the pleasure of enjoying three very distinct versions of the same machine.

After seven years of ownership, and with fewer opportunities to ride as often as I once did, I decided it was time for another transformation.

With my enduring admiration for the subcultures and motorcycle aesthetics of the '60s and '70s, I thought I'd give the old girl a makeover.

Quite proud of the outcome and yes it is a wrap and the parts are fairly stock with the exception of the Bolt-on fairing kit, by Autologue.

My 1979 Suzuki gs550e has a small amount of smoke come off the engine after moderate riding any ideas? I think it may be a oil leak but I can’t pin point it because it seemingly comes from all over. (Very light smoke though)

I know it's not fast, but it's fun and it's mine. What do you think of my 330lb Husky cafe racer?

Hey guys!

I am currently rebuilding my Suzuki gs450 1981 into my very first cafe racer. I am not sure if this is the correct community to post something like this but I would like some help with the proportions.

I have generated a few pictures with AI based on my real photos and I think they look really nice but I am a bit concerned about the seat length. It might just be an illusion of not having a seat yet, making the seat area look very thin and long. Do you think the seat is to long?

I want to have a pretty large passenger seat without making it look wierd and I am also planning to build a removable seat cowel as shown in the photos.

I would love to hear you recommendations and pictures of your bikes especially if you've been in a similar seat 😉

Btw the headlight will not be mounted like that later :)

I’m looking to remove the stock air box on my cafe racer build and have read this can be difficult due to the space. What’s the best way to remove the air box and does anyone have any recommendations on PODs to put in place?

Front fender made!

Thinking about changing the paint color. Suggestions?
