Hello to everybody!

As I said it in my presentation

It has been several months since I builds a cafe racer

At first, I fitted out my garage because I had nothing







The continuation soon

Thank you all

Don't worry the carbone parts coming  ;)


Thus having to sort out everything,

I needed my new parts before modifying my frame

All my project turned around these parts, they come from Benjie, of "Benjie's cafe racer ", I think that you know him, they are magnificent  8) ;D










Fenders




Rear set




4 in 4 exhaust







At this moment, I needed some more other parts before modifying the frame,

Soon the continuation ;)

We know him, but not for quality like that!
That's fantastic.

I know, I had a problem with the rear set
He sent it to me completely twisted
Fortunately, he assured the blow and has me to send back parts in good condition

Otherwise nothing has to say on the quality it is almost completed  ;)

I hope so, thank you!

Sincerely, I don't remember where I find it... sorry
It was on a french website
On the other hand the brand is ACTIVE, it's a Japan brand
It is very hard to find it who's not in plastic!!!

Thank you has all it is rewarding! :D

The generator cover, the headlight, and the speedometer are just cover by the carbon fiber,
It's just for the look :o

All other parts are true ;)

For the budget to dedicate to the project, it's a vast subject...

Already for motorcycles I had for 2000 USD,
But I sold many parts and I paid off to them

Then for the rest, I said to myself that rather to spend a lot of money in a new bike, I was going to spend it on building the bike of my dreams

Then for the moment, I am there has little near has 8000USD for all parts has you saw ;)

I know that it is a lot, but I shall like that she's completed for me

Cash evaporates pretty darn fast when you’re building with top drawer goodies like that.
Looking forward to seeing this completed.
