LJWalter Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I am looking to complete the transformation of my Suzuki Bandit into the cafefighter i have always wanted. Does anyone have experience with building a cafe seat or streetfighter rear end. Any help at all would be appreciated. Here is my blank canvas;I am on a tight budget, but willing to compensate with cash, beer & food!! Whatever it takes to complete my dream bike!Thanks!!!

mello dude Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 If I wanted to do a cafe racer - I would look at the body work stuff from Aerotech - there's lots of classic body stuff that could be used. http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 You could form the pan from kydex, then its just a matter of cutting the foam and stretching a cover over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
