Newbie Here

Hi Everyone,

Just checking in and saying hi, i am new to this Cafe Racer Scene.

I currently have a Suzuki SRAD 600 But i also have a Suzuki Bandit 400 which i have stripped and am thinking of making it into a cafe racer. Not with a big back a tradition racer but with a centre shock rather then side.

What are your views on this guys all help is extremely welcome and please let me know where i can buy universal parts etc.



Im from Essex in England by the way, good old british born and bread

Hi to you to mate.

Where can i get Cafe Racer parts from as i need a new seat unit etc!

Check out ebay first of all, Von Zetti do them on ebay. If thats not what your looking for check out cafe racer builders in the states, Carpy's, Benjies cafe racers etc.

Although you can just search for cafe racer seat on ebay and will bring back quite a few. You will need to measure where you want your seat to fit though to make sure you get something suitable.

Enjoy!
