The worst forum by far....

[tonyf]

No, not this one!! I collected a cafe racer project yesterday - some pics to follow, so I registered on the UK cafe racer forum so that I can get some hints. The bike is more or less there but I need to get some advice on the seat unit.

So having duly registered, had a look around - no introductions to newbies who have posted, loads of posts with no hits or responses....

Not like this forum.... It's a good'un...

For custom stuff try Britchopper. Great forum for builders and there's all sorts of projects on the go there

If you join up, you'll find I am on there too

[tonyf]

Cool - thanks guys!!

I know a couple of folk with cafe racer projects on the go who use this place, http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php. Some tasty builds going on in there.

[benny hedges]

let us know how you get on.... been considering turning my old cbx750f into a cafe racer - already got a lot of bits to go on.... fibreglass seat, flyscreen, renthal clip ons etc...
will be a shame to butcher it as its totally standard & mint condition but atm its just sat there gathering spiders

[tonyf]

This is it - started putting it together today. 2:1 exhaust but will replace with single pipes

[benny hedges]

is that a cj????

i had the 250 & 360.
the 360 was quite quick for its day.
suggest you reposition the engine breather lol

[tonyf]

Dont laugh... its a 250 superdream!!

I think I've just sorted out the seat unit as well.

Tim - Size is not important as you should know from riding that Triumph with an Austin Maxi engine in... LOL

Plan is to put a 400 in it

Im currently doing a supercafedream as well mate. Mine is in bits in the garage almost ready to put back together. Hoping its gonna look like this one.

Hi Jazz
That is nice, I think mine will be more 'industrial' than that....

very tastefull that jaz... looks a bit norton.
i reckon wire wheels would really set it off with the classic look - well done m8!

[Jazzscot]

Yeah agreed Benny, wire wheels would be the business. Gonna get her together first and then maybe go on the hunt for some later this year. Im gonna get mine as close to the pics as possible. Im making my own seat too using good old fibreglass matting and body filler. Cheers dude.

That's absolutely stunning! I want a project soon can't decide between a nice Harley Bobber, cafe racer or just a nice original CBX.
This thread isn't helping!
