Dont know how keen you guys are on bikes but its worth a shot! This is my Suzuki SV650 that i want to build into a Cafe Racer while im taking my bike license. I’ve already got some clip on handle bars, bar end mirrors, a prettier exhaust and small indicators on order. And will be attempting to custom bulid a rear end to get rid of some of that nasty black plastic. What else could i do to make this more of a ‘Cafe Racer’? Cheers :)
Have you considered powder coating the frame to give it cool look?
This one is pretty cool. Try to keep the round headlight. I would remove that HUGE plastic tail too. I don’t know where you live, but is your licence plate bigger than your tail ?
I just found that you can buy the rear end like this one for less than 150€. Just look for it on the Internet.
I’m liking the belly pan too! Will need to keep the rear seat though! ;) And unfortunately, the plate you see on the back is the legal size in the UK, cant go any smaller :(
Maybe do away with the front fender as well
Would love to, but cant do away with it completely, UK law :( Not sure on the laws of trimming it down though!
