Mary#17 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 My husband has finally gotten his cafe racer project bike together. He worked really hard on the details and I'm very excited on how it turned out. Next on the list is a Triton for me.

Mary#17 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 And my one contribution - I got these stickers made for him. A lot of hard work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary#17 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Thank you! He has wanted to do this for years and he's pretty excited with the final result. Funny that the bike is 38 years old and has less miles than our current (or previous) streetbikes.Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 i don't get it...looks cool I guess, but why bother messing with an old, underpowered bike to make it way less comfortable so you can ride it fast-ish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Don't you have a dunebuggy made out of a bug?sorta... but it's not a "racer buggy" with a racing seat and 5 point harness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblosser Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 .nvmBike looks awesome! Ignore the detractors.I think the sticker totally makes it - but the bike would be even better if you put the rack back on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary#17 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah. My husband actually nicknamed the bike "stuntbike 360" because of the rack. Kind of looks like those 12 o clock wheelie bars. It is a wheelie machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyb357 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Totally kick ass! Beautiful transformation. You both should be proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Quite awesome. For anyone that hasn't thrashed a 350/360 through the twisties, it can be a blast. It's a good peg scraper, and light enough it can be sideways into corners if you have to. Quick transitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
