Needs a cheeky Racefit and converting to clip-ons for true Cafe Racer status.

Check out Blackbird clip ons mounted below the top yoke if you don't want to get too extreme, they step up, its what I have on my track bike CBR. Need to check the fork diameters though.

In London you rarely get the chance to ride on good roads. It's all about city riding and so I don't need a sports bike any more. So I thought I'd like something that has some urban cool. I bought myself a '96 CB750 a few months ago as the basis for a custom job. It was very cheap so if I fuck it up, I can scrap it. :rofl: Planning to do it as a brat-style bike (basically a cafe racer but with a flat seat so you can take a pillion). I went along to the Bike Shed event in Shoreditch yesterday for some inspiration/ideas. Mainly I was trying to figure out what type of rear mudguard to go for. Now I'm ready to order some bits and get the hack saw out.  :grin:
sweet look forward to seeing it.
