It's not exactly a Cafe . . .
« on: July 20, 2010, 06:40:30 PM »
Here's mine.

The bars and controls are 1" H.D. they were given to me by a friend. The seat was found in a shed and it atually fit better than the other six I had sitting around. The front end is from a DOHC and has a two inch extention in it between the trees. Front wheel is a stock SOHC with aDOHC disc on it. Carbs are completely re-done with 125 jets and my ten dollar velocity stacks. The oiltank is anH.D. Big Twin that has been slightly modified for clearance on the right side. The fender is from a Sporty and is stock so far. The rear wheel is my as of yet unpolished Lester and I bought the chain at Tractor Supply for 25 bucks. The engine was built when I got it. It's an 836 Weiseco kit with HD studs and the heads have been ported and polished, not sure if the valves are stock, never checked. I smoked the Andrews "A" grind cam that was in it pretty good due to the allways inevitable top end oiler clogging and I put in an old Iskenderian cam in it's place. The points were replaced with a Dyna and she has stock coils with new wires.
 Even with my considerable mass on it the bike hauls ass. Literally. Lol. I have some beautification to do yet however I want to keep the rat bike "patina" if you will. Rattlecan and scuffs in the paint.
