Honda cafe racer . . . one day!!

[Ward P]

What an absolute beauty. I think you've gone the right way with the rear seat and cowel. Is she staying silver?

Yes, I like the look of the silver with the alloy and the gold highlights. (for now anyway )

Have managed to work the seat so it will be a 10 minute job (in the garage) to exchange from the single to original dual. Have modified the original mounting points so they now unbolt and will keep them with the dual seat, so wont interfere with the single seat.
Want to get rid of the airbox and put a bigger carby and pod filter on - but the airbox is a nightmare to remove, and I haven't the heart to cut it up to take it out. Will have to eventually bite the bullet, take off all rear section to get it all out.
Not sure what I will do with the side covers. lots of cafe projects go minimalist and lose them. These ones are metal, and I like the "Tourist Trophy" logo, so still undecided. But that's most of the fun!

good work mate, i might be joining you soon got offered a cheap little project

they're great to go from something little to the 'busa and back. Only trouble with cheap projects I have found is they end up costing heaps
