Time to get back at it.....
« on: November 29, 2013, 02:25:26 PM »
It's been a while since I've posted, but after settling some issues it time to get back at transforming my old K7 to a " yet another" cafe racer. Even though I haven't had time to do any work on the bike, doesn't mean that the credit card was idle. LOL

I've picked a few parts from DCC, along with an alloy cafe seat pan.





With the winter up here in the northeast, I hope to get a big part of the build done. That's it for now and let the build restart.

Disassembly almost done, all that's remaining is to remove the engine. Hope what I've been reading on the forum is as easy as it looks. =)

I saw that also but when I combined with the other parts I ordered from DCC, it was cheaper than having to pay for 2 separate shipping charges.

I am going to have to look at my tank options again.....the tank I bought didn't fit right, shifted to far to the left, I guess that happens with handmade tanks.

All I can say is that the guys at Cycle-X were great. I called and spoke to Ken, gave me a few suggestions and unfortunately it didn't work and without hesitation they took it back and refunded my money.

Well now the search begins for another tank.
