| this is my bike a t100 as it is now,my plan is to give it a cafe racer makeover without destroying the bike in any way,in effect only using bolt on parts. | |

| Hi stevie, the bike looks good. I'm just wondering, why didn't you just but the thruxton? You could have saved on the cost of all the parts and the time taken to fit them. I'd still like to see when your done though, good luck.

| I've got a 98 cbr 600 fw. Not really what I want any more, but I'm not in a position to change bikes right now, so i decided to cafe it. The fairing upper is coming off this week, i have some chrome headlight bracket and a round headlight to go on. The clocks i have are from a newer model, so the wiring should be straight forward. Just need make some brackets for them. The list of things i have done already is endless, the tank and rear plastics are new. loads of carbon and other bolt on's | |
