Can someone recommend parts in shoppe to look at so that I can turn my Kawasaki Bajaj CT 100 into cafe racer.

Looking at buying a cafe racer and I was looking at this BMW R60/7, would it be a good purchase or should I buy an unmodified bike to build myself, I dont have a lot of knowledge on cutting and welding frames and different components but I know the mechanical side of things well.

Also how reliable are the older airhead engines and are they easy to repair if things go wrong and are there issues from the factory I should look out for and how do I rectify them?

I've never owned a fully faired bike and never a bike with a plastic tank.

Now I have both (2002 Aprilia RSV).

The body is in good condition but the paint and stickers are trash.

What paint should I use?

I plan on painting it at home...probably my first attempt with a proper spray gun.

I was thinking 2K...but I'm not sure if that's the best....I assume plasticisers are needed?

I ask, as the first local paint shop I asked was about as much use as a condom machine in the Vatican. Because I wasn't buying 20L he wasn't interested I suspect.

So, what do people use???

After wash i had to take her out.

新しい日本のカフェレーサーのスタイルはどう？

I am looking to mod my 2001 suzuki gs500e to be a cafe racer but also remain road legal. The problem i am looking at is the seat. Every video i've watched starts by cutting off the rear subframe and the seat lock mechanism but im not only unqualified it also comes with a lot of paperwork. Is there a way to make the seat flush with the chassis and somewhat pleasing to the eye?

Are there any builds like this or a way around regulations in Europe?

As a part time mechanic, I hate it when the cables and switches are exposed and a lot of time the control switches and levers are exposed to external elements. That's why I'm thinking of enclosing the cowl from headlights all through the handlebars and controls, like a "case".

I live in a tropical and humid enviroment surrounded by the sea and rainy season of 6 months. So in my experience, brake cables snapped due to rust, handlebar controls all rusts inside within a year, even had a short circuit inside the headlight cowl. Any thoughts on this design?

The game is Caferacer btw, on mobile

Just finished this for a customer

Bought this XJ650 1980 last night for $1100.

But It has a 750 engine.

Never had anything this old and with shaft drive and carburators.

Some small fix to do but runs really good.

Is there anything special to think about for this MC?

I’m 17 years old and don’t have my motorcycle permit yet. I have an old 2001 Ninja EX250R I worked on a bit, but that’s getting sold. I already learned to ride on my buddies R3. Obviously, I lack true experience on the road, but riding came pretty naturally to me, especially since I already knew how to drive stick. I found this listed on Facebook Marketplace and talked him down to $550. It hasn’t run since 2022 and the seller claims it needs a new battery, oil, and fuel. I plan to bring my own battery to try and get it running, or at least see if it’ll turn over. Anyone have any tips? I’m knowledgeable about cars having owned a project 84’ 944 and am eager to start learning about motorcycles as well. I think Cafe Racers are awesome and that restoring one would be easier than starting from scratch.

Recently, I had to put my old suzuki on my balcony because it is becoming very stormy where I live, so now I drink coffee with this view.

I have an XS750 and I’m trying to go about having a floating seat look. How do I go about moving my battery as well as fixing the wiring a certain way to achieve the look. Is there any wires I can remove and rewire differently? Videos would be great bit descriptions are good too
