so my dads buddy was talking about building a cafe racer off an old yamaha my dad asked him about it and he pulled out an old winshield covered in bird crap and cracked winfshield ... he said my dad could have it for like ten bucks so he forked over the dough and then his buddy was like oh here this goes with it and it was brand new windshield... so here she is..... the real question is does it work with the stock handle bars?.. i love em i dont know if i really wanna turn them upside down or get clubmans

I think you answered your own question with the third picture.

Super bike bars at least if your going to sport a cafe fairing. Business in the front and party in the rear with the back rest. Bike seems a little undecided. My thoughts anyway.

lol yep on terminator had stock handle bars but same front fairing..... my question is does it look ok or is it really necessary to get clip ons or some clubmans without looking like a dork

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #7 on:** October 30, 2009, 07:02:51 PM »

you don't have to do that to look like a dork

Not that I've seen. It's two different styles that don't complement each other. I don't even see how that sissy bar would make any difference to your wife. She'd have to be leaning really far back to even touch it. As long as you're not doing any wheelies she ain't gonna fall off.

Do what I did,get another bike,one to Cafe and one when she rides with you.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #17 on:** October 31, 2009, 06:38:45 AM »

yeah man, take it off, she'll hold you tighter without it

bucky katt · « **Reply #18 on:** October 31, 2009, 10:30:04 AM »

the triumph thruxton has a cafe seat that, with the removable rear cowling off can take 2 passengers, perhaps build something like that?

This is probably your easiest solution. While not the cheapest you won't have to make any sacrifices on either bike.

here it is. look closely and you can see the screws on the seat cowling. something like that should be pretty simple to make.
