Lol . I remember watching the cafe racer program where a guy built a bike and used little bits of scrap to finish bits off and if I remember correctly when finished it look great .

So Been messing around with the water catch tank today.
Cut couple of inches off to keep it nice and short
And made new insert where the handle once went

Re: bmw hotrod project "schnell Brutus"
Mate had this frame raked out at the front couple of days ago! Looks pretty mean look I think.
Also 1200 back end put on so now it runs 160 rear tyre instead of 130.
Three spoke wheel to!
I must not rake mine..........

Re: bmw hotrod project "schnell Brutus"
Both look pretty cool, the 160 conversions a good idea. Id leave your rake as is, cant been seen as copying

Re: bmw hotrod project "schnell Brutus"
shorter wheel base on a cafe racer style always looks better and turns quicker as well

Re: bmw hotrod project "schnell Brutus"
Well it's taken days for me to do some thing with the huge ecu! I made some strips of metal and welded them to the frame. I'll get some photos soon..
On the other hand more of the black one

Re: bmw hotrod project "schnell Brutus"
So been thinking for days about how I hide the ecu!
It's so big it's hard... None the less I welded some tabs on to make it float above the battery
Plus I got new project to
