Hi, can anyone recommend somebody to work on my Yamaha XS 1100 and build a cafe racer from it, i am in the Auckland area. Much appreciate any suggestions, cheers

It'll be cheaper to just buy a Harley. Don't bother spending thousands dressing mutton as lamb. You'll never recoup your money, and it'll never look as good as you think.

Yeah I'd second what Haydes already suggested :devil2:

At least an XS1100 is a cool bike to start with, I think a cafe would be really great......whereas Harleys are basically an image bike only. (Crap) The down side is asking anyone to simply build you a cafe bike is giving them a licence to print money. Likely you will get ripped off, do it yourself and enjoy the result.

Move to the South island ... better roads for an XS1100 (in any form) down here ... :yes:
