Also can be used, KOwrecked, The frame of the K0 bike which upon close examination looks like it was filled with water and left in Antartica for a complete season then ridden in hill climb competition and welded with a cutting torch and coat hangers before being completely parted out and reassembled with K4 parts.

I know I'll catch some (deserved) flack for this one, but here goes!

Cafe

As in: I just picked up an old, neglected sohc4 for a steal, and I think I'm gonna "cafe" it.

Definition: I'm very susceptible to popular trends and I don't have the time/money/patience to do a proper rebuild, so I'm gonna throw on a solo seat, some clubmans, and I'm gonna junk that ugly air box and put on some cheap pods because that air box is a pain in the ass when I have to keep pulling the carbs to figure out why my bike isn't running well instead of just doing a thorough clean and rebuild of them the first time, and then I'll get pissed at it because it runs even worse and I can never get those stupid carbs tuned right, and then I'll bolt on a ratty old 4-1 exhaust and ditch that useless, heavy center stand, and then I'll half-ass an attempt at converting to dual front discs but end up with two discs and only one working caliper instead, and then I'm gonna get rid of those ugly clocks because the needles just bounce around uselessy and put on a digital bicycle speedometer, and I'm gonna put on a super bright headlight and a Dyna-S because fukin' points are crappy, old technology and I don't want to learn how to adjust and set points anyway, and then I'm gonna curse this bike's old, anemic charging system because it can't keep the tiny battery I've installed in the seat hump charged, so then I'll change all the other bulbs to LED, and then I'll put on the fattest, cheapest tires I can find 'cuz I can't stand the look of those stock pizza-cutters and then #$%* about my bike not handling well but I don't care because it looks tits, and then I'll try to fix that with some cartridge emulators I heard about that will make your bike handle like a modern crotch rocket and put on these cheap, Chinese piggyback shocks I found on ebay because they make the bike look mean and fast but they're too long so I'll put on these lowering blocks while I'm at it but the shocks hit the chain guard making it rub the chain so I'll throw away that useless thing, and hey how do I hang this exhaust, I guess I'll just use some of this pipe strap, and how much exhaust wrap do I need, and I think the engine is overheating so I'll put on this oil cooler, and the valve cover keeps leaking so I'll just use this gasket sealer instead of shelling out for new gaskets, and why did my engine make a loud screeching sound followed by a louder PING and then die?

SCREW IT! I'm sick of trying to get this POS running well! I'll call it a cafe and try to sell it on ebay for $5,000 because I see that guy Carpy selling them for that much all the time, and hey, these things are rare, sought-after, vintage bikes, right?

You missed this

The 100 percent certainty that at least 1 carb will leak when you go to start it again.

Somewhere there is one connection, splice, or previous repair that's just waiting....watching and waiting for the worst time to short itself.

CLONES=a COPY of a COPY of a COPY so every bodies motorcycle looks just like the one next to it and the one next to it.
CAFE= what is now known as a Restaurant
Coffee= or a derivative of = a dark brown liquid that smell 10x better than it taste and 75% of the world can't go a day without a cup or two.
FREEDOM= the right to build (with my own hands) anything with 2 wheels ,3 wheels or 4 wheels and do that, so my MC is NOT a clone and not like everyone else.
You may ask why? and I say WHY NOT. I LIKE the idea of riding around and looking at bikes and knowing there is a SLIM chance there is not another bike built/looks like mine. Can you say that about your CLONE???

And remember every CB750 sold on E-BAY has been bored to 836cc LMFAO.

Custom bike, so you can be different like all the other guys.

Xnavylfr · « **Reply #61 on:** May 06, 2013, 09:46:26 AM »

Not CUSTOM , but hand built. You can go out and BUY a CUSTOM( ie, Big Dog, Jessie James. OCC,(YUK) but there are probably 3 or 4 more exactly like it on the showroom floor. The only thing on my bike like others is the engine, a tried and true CB750.
Don't get me wrong, I DO enjoy looking at PRISTINE Classic MCs and cars and repect those individuals for taking the time and effort to return one to original showroom quality.
It all comes down to one thing, THE RIDE.

BOBBER - lower the rear shocks, extend the front shocks making the bike handle dangerously bad...then remove the seat welding up a tractor seat for "form and function" then paint it all flat black making sure to remove the gauge cluster and front brake to make it "clean looking". Painting checkers or a spade will absolutely make it faster...

Check out what I found on the STL craigslist!

Car Show Racer..,
A cousin of the cafe racer.. Except..mostly used for showing and receiving ego boosting praise at car shows. Forget riding it to coffee.. Not enough people there.. Small shows..same thing.
But a big show....got to be there, come hell or high water....lots of ego stroking..
