I think cafe's are a tougher sell here in the midwest. The guys I know eeking money out of bike building are all building bobbers and the like. And yeah it's eeking money out of bike building. Building for someone might be a good way to go but then you have that whole customer is right and "can we change this?" thing. Sometimes what you don't want to hear is what you need to hear. As far as price... it's a thin market out there, unless you are building on commission finding the customer for your exact vision could be hard. On the national level I have seen some 4 to 6K cafe / tracker XS650's, but not many. I don't think you can go buy all new custom parts, overhaul and performance mod the engine, get an exhaust, do the mock up, change, improve, redo, tear it down, build a wiring harness, apply a quality paint job, assemble it again, do hours of bug chasing parts chasing, and tuning and come out making $15 an hour, which isn't much for the risk and investment such a project carries. The economy just isn't strong enough yet for the dot com type cash spenders to be common. Take a hard look at completed auction cafe's on Ebay how good are they, how many hours and $$ went into their creation, what do they bring? Heck throw up some of what you find on here.
