Got another build on my hands- CAFE?????

[bobber33]

Cleaned all the paint off the tank.
Put a bit of primer on the frame just so no rust forms until i get the time to make the
rear hoop etc...

Also got my tires mounted and installed the new rotor.

Got my piston parts and other stuff today so got the engine back together.
Just waiting on some other parts to button it up completely.

Going to be a good looking bike, engine looks nice. I'm surprised by the gold engine cases, I thought I'd hate them to be honest but I don't, I'm well impressed with em.

 

[bobber33]

Looks perdy....

 

[pregrid]

WOW! Dave likes!!!

If I saw that motor in a bar…I'd buy it a drink and chat it up!

Finished putting the engine back together today after the ups guy showed up with
the rest of my parts.
Also rebuilt my brake caliper today.
But before that i decided to blast it and powder coat it.
Damn... looks better than a new one.

Mighty fine work going on there...

 

[bobber33]

Got a couple more things done today.
Fender stripped down, new swingarm bushings installed and my new mini lithium battery showed up today. That thing is cool as hell and super small. Should fit nicely under the seat somewhere.

I hate to say it but I had those exact colors in mind for my engine lol. I'm loving this build so far. I will say that I'm gonna make the nipples for the spokes of the wheels gold however lol. What color are the tins gonna be?

yeah its a common color scheme, but it looks good.(plus i have left-over paint from the last one)
I'm hoping it will stand out from everybody else's when its done though...
The wheels were straight and true, so i didn't want to replace spokes, I wanted to try to just powder coat the whole thing. (just started powdering my own parts)

Tins? well.... probably going to be black/gold stripe kinda thing. Still not 100% sure yet on the design. But entire bike should be done in the next couple weeks i think.

Not a fan of the 750 tank for cafes personally but I love your other bikes and the work your doing on this is up there with your usual high standard so I expect to have my opinion changed by the end of the build. Can't wait to see the final product!

I think they fit the cafe look perfect! Nice build, btw. Here is mine...with a 750 tank and Manx seat
