Well for some odd reason, it was 74 degrees outside today, so I decided to take the bike outside and snap a couple of pictures. The show this weekend was awesome, except for the fact that I crutch around the place (my pits hurt)...... There were lots of cool cars, trucks and bikes. Tons of harleys were there. Tony, Rickie and I had some of the 10 odd step children there. People really seemed to like them though. It's been over 2 years in the making, but it's finally done. I'm sure there will be some tuning and problems that I run into come spring time, but I'll keep you posted. Until then, enjoy.

super nice build! I'm in the middle of a SOHC cafe bike and I was thinking of doing something similar with the intake tubes only with one big Mic. That being said did you have any trouble with your setup ?

ReplyDeletePete - First of all congratulations. You have clearly put a lot of hard work into that bike and you have done an excellent job.
ReplyDeleteI have a question - I am actually looking at buying a CB750 Cafe Racer to build it up to something better, and I was wondering if you happened to have a ballpark for how much it cost you to do yours?
