Every time I see a "cafe racer" thread I get worried its someones rat nest with a rattle can paint job.


This is of a level of quality we don't see to often, the stance is awesome, the proportions are spot on and the workmanship is great!

Very nice ride, sir.

Beautiful work mate, and I love your silver bike too, very cool! I'm sorry, but I'm seriously considering stealing your mesh clutch cover treatment when I refit my lockup clutch, and I'm gonna turn up a knurled rear brake adjuster like yours while I'm at it too, very nice indeed! ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

that's so weird. I was JUSt on your site the other day and was just about to buy your adjuster too! I was ALSO just thinking.."Yeah..I like that mesh cover.. I'm gonna make one..say..didn't I just see another one like that a few days ago? WAIT! this is the same guy! LOL"

great bike. i like your adjuster price better than Joker's that's for sure... LOL. I'm gonna go buy one right now in fact.
