Wow, superb - stripped down to zero fuss basics. Makes my R1-Z look like a goldwing!
Let me know when you are of a mind to sell her! Love

Thats prob the best 2-stroke cafe racer I have seen, the attention to detail is mind blowing. Everytime you look at the pictures you notice something new, the amount of man hours put in to this project has got to be 1000's and still climbing, as we know specials are never finished. If my CB/RG is 1 tenth as good as this then I will be a happy man. Well done

Damn that is lovely! I've got ideas in my head about cafe racering my RS125 and this kind of bike porn does not help Laughing

Hi all,

had to find some better carburation but finally found a Good setup last week...

But there is a small electric problem now... Hope only the Regulator is out of order...

But the bike drives very good!!

Hi Guys,

had a short trip with the bike on Sunday (abaout 80kms). The little electric Problem was solved (a loose cable...) and the bike goes like hell. I am very happy with the power and all components... the rear shock seems to be a little hard, but I will fix this in the next months...

Bye

Hi all,

made some updates on the bike the last months... overhauled the shock, put some new titanium screws on it, found a new Kickstart, new exhaust flanges and constructed a new holder for the rear brake calipper (Aprillia Mille)...

Had the opportunity to make some pics outside... but the sun was not bright enough... but you can see now the bike with all the minor updates:







Today I fitted some softer brake pads into the frontbrake... fine-tuning...[/p][p]

Bye
Peter

Hi all...

as you all know a bike like mine is never ready... you find always parts to replace... So I did some things over the last months... The biggest Thing was to repair the forks... the are now 28mm shorter and is completely overhouled.

Will see tomorrow if the bike drives now how I expect...

Some pics from today...






... fork-details...





... some more Gimmicks on the clutch and the YPVS...





Bye
