i feel you on the cafe racer ish getting real expensive real quick..
i grew up on dirt bikes and my purchase as a adult was a 01 klr650 enduro..still got it, so im prone to dirt track bars and dirt tires.. ive been seeing alot of cross melding bikes with bobber styling and drit track knobbies or cafe clubman bars mixed with bobber seats and bobber fenders. so im back and forth of what to do.. although i think i found the shorty seat i want...mocked up the seat pan for it today, gonna have all the circuit and electrical ish underneath the seat pan, and the battery moved to the swing arm...
just finished up sandblasting some parts. never did it before but shit was fun, and crazy tiriing..if i get a chance tomorrow i'll have some flics of the bikee and the workshop my homie is letting me work in...
