Congrats! Beautiful bike...

Nice, I don't think I've seen that bike's build...??

SHORTROUND · « **Reply #3 on:** November 04, 2011, 03:57:31 AM »

I didn't make one, but I wish I had. It took about 18 months to complete because i finished 3 other bikes before this one. i sold them to finance this build. It runs even better than it looks.

How did you ever get it tuned with those velo stacks in place of the stock airbox

Sweet build.

Usually cafes turn me off but yours is really a beautiful example of restraint and i like the front fender left on and the rear fender removed.

.360 lift 270 degree cam.
130 mains
1 clip richer on the needles
1/2 turn out idle air screw
dyna ignition
accel 5 ohm super coils
carpy 4-into-1 with baffle

----it didn't run as well on the stock coils---- made a HUGE difference when i switched to the accel.

i believe the shocks were from parts n more, the last set i ordered for my current project are from cycle xchange (same ones). 13 1/2 inches.
it is a 16" rear. I just wanted a fat tire on the rear. it's alot easier to put a 140 tire on it than the 18". does it affect the handling? who knows? if i wanna haul ass and care up a road i'll take my GSXR. but if i had it to do all over again i would lace up a set of akront aluminium rims. who knows, when the tires are done i might. maybe it was a phase i was in. my current 750 project has an 18" rear.

This is fantastic and just about the clone I envision with my new project. Black with red frame is perfect. I have different ideas about the stripes, but otherwise very close.

I'm with Seaweb, can we see a pic from the top taking in the tank, bars and instruments?

wedoo2 · « **Reply #24 on:** November 05, 2011, 04:18:57 PM »

Thought I would honor your bike with a little photoshop work

I figured that it was enough exploitation of my wife as it was with the first picture. :-)

No, but next time tell her to keep her feet off the engine!

To look at, I like your bike. For overall balance and performance, I like your bike. For scaring the crap out of myself once or twice, that Sportster/Buell cafe would be a trip. The torque in that light chassis with that exhaust would be a "blast"
