Some new cafe pics
« on: July 21, 2005, 06:30:43 PM »
Attached are a few pics I just took of my 70' K0 cafe racer.
A few of the mods:
- Wiseco 836 Kit
- KibbleWhite oversized Black Diamond Valves
- Ampco 45 Bronze Valve guides
- Fiberglass cafe seat and fender
- Crossdrilled rotor
- Raask rearsets
- Fresh Dunlop GT501's
there's more but these are the biggies

I got the Raask rearsets from www.slickbiker.com.  I had to modify one of the brackets a bit to get it to fit, but otherwise they are real nice.  I have to admit the riding position got a bit more cramped, but rearsets seem proper for a cafe bike. 
The exhaust was on the bike when I rescued it from the weeds in some guy's yard.  No name is stamped anywhere so I assume it's custom.  It's a bit scratched up, but I love the style so I'm keeping em.

The biggest PIA was getting the K0 4:1 carb arrangement tuned properly.  Took a lot of trial and error balancing them and jetting them properly too (the pod filters make this tougher I've heard.)

Thanks for compliments. It took me a LOT of time to get the bike to this point.  In the end, it would have been easier to have started with a bike in better condition.  However, I had no intention of doing so much work to the bike when I got it.  It just turned out that way somehow!  ;D
