Not sure if this is the place for it, but while rummaging around on the Web, I came across this extraordinary cafe racer:

what is that hooked on the engine, a turbo?

It's an ARD magneto.

Sam.

don't let Terry see that ARD
nice looking bike, just ditch the front caliper bracket come plate thingy to tighten up that end

In case Inquiring Minds Want to Know...

Tommaselli clipons
Ceriani forks and triple tree (extended tubes???)
Ceriani headlight mounts
Grimeca front mastercylinder
Smiths tach (not sure how well THAT works...)
ARD magneto
Weber carbs
Magura or Tommaselli Daytona throttle
Tommaselli Matador clutch handle
Custom front rotors with Go-Kart calipers
Kimtab wheels
Tarozzi rearsets
Outrageous tail light!
Creativity.... PRICELESS!

About time for a road trip to Yoshi's!!!

But I bet that's a rough-riding useless sumwitch! RR

I like very much.
Looks like it has some more rake in the neck/trees than a stocker does...

that was at the local Mods -N- Rockers in San Luis Obispo a couple weeks ago.
the detail of that bike is amazing.
...not sure i would ride it too far though

what kind of carbs are those?

jabbadeznuts · « **Reply #9 on:** May 17, 2007, 11:33:21 PM »

That's a negative Ghost Rider.

KB02 · « **Reply #10 on:** May 18, 2007, 04:56:17 AM »

Looks like a drag bike to me. Wouldn't mind taking it for a little spin, though...

v4hor · « **Reply #11 on:** May 18, 2007, 08:00:13 AM »

I was at the same Mods N Rockers event MrFry speaks of. Among all the vintage british bikes this thing stood out to me as the 2nd coolest bike there (the coolest was a 1923 Indian that the owner rode in on). Was also one of the few bikes that didn't have a wet spot under it.

dusterdude · « **Reply #12 on:** May 18, 2007, 09:21:31 AM »

the carbs look like dellortos or webers,i bet terry will get a woodie when he see that mag.

Andoo · « **Reply #13 on:** May 18, 2007, 10:26:13 AM »

the Yoshimura motor is beautiful

paxtonpony · « **Reply #14 on:** May 18, 2007, 11:11:21 AM »

Mods and Rockers in SLO?

Where do you find out about these things??? I live down in Santa Maria area and would loved to of gone. Me and my bud are heading to the Santa Maria show on saturday (not to highjack the post).

crazypj · « **Reply #15 on:** May 18, 2007, 11:13:46 AM »

It looks like an old drag bike thats been put back to street use.
Cafe racers are less single minded, that thing is designed to go in straight lines

Looks comfy.

edbikerii · « **Reply #19 on:** May 18, 2007, 04:26:48 PM »

Yeah, looks like it hurts just to roll it onto the trailer

. Can't imagine trying to actually ride that thing.

Did anybody see the link after the picture? That company built a custom HD bobber for Michael Schumacher

I like the rake on that bike allot...

KCs76Cafe · « **Reply #22 on:** May 18, 2007, 06:10:55 PM »

Does having the shift lever flipped backwards reverse the pattern? Wonder if I could reach mine turned backwards using the passenger pegs as footrests?

I like the exhaust too........any idea what kind it is Ricky_Racer ?

Roach Carver · « **Reply #23 on:** May 18, 2007, 06:23:14 PM »

flipping the shifter to the rear alternates the pattern to 1 up and 4 down.

Yup, the pattern will be reversed.

The exhaust is a Yoshimura. Big money nowadays.
