Hi guys, sorry I've been a bit busy and moneys tight this month so not much has been going on, i've ordered an aircraft style gas cap (waiting for delivery) to finish the tank, and fitted a stop tail light into the rear pod. I recon i'll be spending the next few weeks working on the engine, need to ...

Heres the beginings of the seat pan, this is welded to the pod and the seat will bolt on top, this part will be painted. http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/l575/tig_weld_4_u/Cafe%20Racer/D916564B-2752-4B5D-B256-8E9DAABF818B-23206-0000029E4C185D26_zps9b17f634.jpg http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/...

Sorry I cant help with your spacer probs, I dont have access to a lathe either. Started work on the seat pan and rear pod which will eventually house the stop tail light, here are some pics of the pod the seat pan is next. http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/l575/tig_weld_4_u/Cafe%20Racer/3921BAE5-6...

Cheers guys, I dont doubt it will be slow going but ill keep you all posted, glad you like it.

Hi guys, Just an update, been busy for a few days so not had any time to work on the bike, will have to leave it again for a few days but heres some pics of the tank at the moment. Still need fully welding, and the rebate in the bottom for the air filters to sit under fitting, then a filler neck and...

Hi, I went with those shocks because they are longer than others I found, they are for a cb900, its not a common method but they are readily available. All the standard type with eyes at both ends are only around 300mm long and yes I think they have bushes at both ends, these are 365mm long. I neede...

Hi, thanks. I also found nothing this involved when planning my build, here are some pics of how the tank is coming along.

Today it finally stood on its new springs, and just sitting on it felt great. The height is about an 1 1/4" lower and the new springs feel perfect, i must say sometimes i measure and measure, but if something looks right and feels right, it is right even if the measures are 1 or 2mm out. What would ...

Thats showroom fresh now, you've done an excellent job. Cant believe how tight the space was where you did the work, well done that man.

What a noob, to busy reading threads i missed the title doh, great work.

It almost looks like a tattoo are you a tattooist? It looks great outside, the indoor pics dont do it justice, nice work.

Ignore the advertising, i pulled that of eBad.

I quite like this, when the time comes ill fab a stainless bracket for it, i know its modern but you cant hide the fact that its an 89 bike with a 60's look. Its clean simple and I guess thats what cafe racers are all about, ill be happy doing 30/40mph with a big grin on my face. http://i1124.photob...

Cool glad you like it :thumbsup: Its starting to get that, looks like its doing 100mph while standing still look :) I hope Anyway couple of questions while im thinking on, if I switch to K&N's do I need to swap the needles? What would be the best way to mount the tank, should I hinge it? Either at t...
