Do The Ton Cafe Racer Website/Forum

If you need some figlass & alloy cafe racer parts ie solo seat, fairings, rearsets etc lemme know
Ive rebuilt quite a few Beemers in the past......

thanks eurodave.
seen one with a ducati monster seat and I will try to get one as i loved the look of it. it pretty much cancels out the rear fairing.
rearsets could be an issue for me.
I will keep it in mind anyway, at present i cannot get another bike unless i sell one i have and i dont want to sell either of my bikes.
when i get another bmw will be in touch.
what model of r series bmw do you think is best as a base ??

[Eurodave]

yes, its too narrow...but its a good starting point and I'll half it and widen it to suit. I was looking at an R100 seat base as a start but this came up.
More quality garage time
Your seats look very nice.

Good luck with that, youre in for a lot of work & thanx for the compliment

Id go for a naked base model like an R80 etc ie not an RS or RT,due to heavy fork springs,handlebar/cable length issues etc

Your work looks bloody hot!

I don't think its worth putting that nice kit on a suzuki gt50 (50cc), I'll def look your way when I do another bike next year thats bigger and more suitable.

cheers

Yep it s a great resource, been on there for a while , and lots of Honda cb750 and 550 info, I just picked up an xs650 so will have another project (gulp) Might have a chat to Eurodave about some bits. His work looks good

my next project idea is a R series bwm cafe racer, bought my R100RT to do it but it is to mint to doctor, so waiting to get another.

Hey hospital food, If you want some inspiration I'd recommend joining Perth street Bikes forum (a west aussie version of KB) they have a thread on Cafe racers which has over 1000 posts of some of the best cafes and bobbers to be found on the net, probably about 2000 plus damm good pictures on there. Loads of bmw, honda, guzzi cafes and loads of the original brit versions. Lots of eye candy, I got some good inspiration for my CB750 project.

the mind boggles!

All my solo & dual seats are figlass & Ive designed them to fit specific bikes
I can customise most of them to your specs
My rearset kits are based on Laverda Jota cast alloy items that Ive modded to fit various other bikes

tick and tick. (as in I need both of those items.

When I finally get organised, I will be off to see Eurodave.
