front end is totally off, I agree. if I go with this I will likely got for a triple tree fork (do they make them with 7 1/2 inch steering tubes?) and different barsI like it... I'd drop the bars on it though...it's cafe up until the front end...then looks "off" to me.
I'd just flip the bars, so they look more like clubmans on similar to a cafe racer...Also, what color? Green like the rest of the bike or black like the seat?
Ya, I'm a bit of a cafe/tracker nut... pretty much spent most my adult life on motorcycles, and the last two years building one.Interesting thoughts, brassneck. It's safe to assume you've given some consideration to bikes of this type before, huh?
The Red Honda is indeed a CX500... I have a buddy that has one he wants me to help build into a cafe, and I almost pulled the trigger on one for myself a few months back to build into something like that Red one... They're great reliable bikes (shaft drive)...but not as plentiful (parts-wise) as other models are...and to do it right means to do a lot of fab work...which I'm not apposed, but lack the space, currently.I'm curious about that red Honda. Is that a CX 550 engine on a cafe racer? That's an engine I haven't seen or thought about in a long time. So long, in fact, that I wonder a bit if the "CX" is the right designation. I think it is.
