“…I have removed 60lbs of unnecessary fibre glass and metal, and spruced up the suspension and brakes. Not really a cafe racer more of a street bike. I dumped the fairing, panniers and racks, mudguards, crash bars, extra sidestand, King and Queen seat, airbox and filter, toolbox and fist sized indicators and rear light. I fitted Renthal streetfighter bars, removed the airbox and used K&N filters, cut down some aluminum mudguards to fit and used mini indicators. I cut down the seat and had it re-covered and fitted Barleycorn handmade rear sets and Hel brake lines. It looks black but is Yukon blue if you get it in the right light.”
Enjoy!
well done peter love the rear sets,,
ReplyDeleteThanks Ed, the rearsets are from Barleycorn a one man band in the UK.
ReplyDeleteLooks great Peter. I have a similar bike. Sorry hope you don't mind if I pick your brain but i'm about to make the same mods to my bike. Did you have any issues fitting the rounded peanut cylinder caps or were you able to swap them over directly? Do the K&N filters make much of a difference to the bike's performance? Were the rearsets easy to fit? They look the business...
