Great looking bike! Clean (save for the bird poop), simple and to the point....perfect execution.

Cool!
I was looking at using a Hella unit.
Did you use a 55 Pontiac repro? or
Psst wheres your seat cowl?
Those look sweet. Mine isn't all that bright, but it does have a small clear "window" at the bottom that shines light on the license plate. I'm sure the hella unit is crazy bright. I used to have their reflectors on my offroad rig. I used to scare the shit out of people

That bike looks damn good. What kind of clip ons are those? Any trouble fitting the coffins on the bars?
Uh, and no! I didn't watch the entire Right Said Fred video. Well maybe, but I am at work. That has to justify a little.
Thanks! The clip ons are Woodcraft. They're really easy to install but you have to lower the headlight to get them to fit properly. Which is a must anyways after you put clip ons on. Otherwise the bike looks really funky.

The bike looks great. Doesn't look dirty at all.
Let us know what the bike sounds like with those pods. Something I've wanted to do, but don't know if I can put up with the noise.
as another person rocking pods and no exhaust i will say that the pods are pretty impressively loud. at highway speeds i hear the intake noise over the exhaust and my friends say they can hear it when theyre beside me in a car. it is louder than the open airbox, but nothing too bad.

Hey El MataCheapos
did you see the thread on the guys from Spain? they have a sweet tail light on their Cafe.
They supposedly sell products. They have cafe-ish turn signals too on their catalog
. But they are on the otherside of the planet and have no linkies.

Nice.
Most monsters that are supposed to be Cafe racer styled look pretty far from it.
But yours is good. needs the cowl tho
(there should be a shit stirring smiley)
a bullet headlight with the gauges in the top would match the look too.

I like what they do to bikes. My sister is moving to madrid pretty soon. Maybe I should swing by their store...

Saw this thread, thought "wow, that bike looks amazing (sans the bird shit)! How can I make mine look more like that?"
Then it struck me: I have those exact same mirrors only they face up instead of down! I set about making the corrections then proceeded to enjoy my nightly ride-about-town with my view in both mirrors completely eclipsed by my gloved hands.
Now, maybe it's a skill thing. Maybe it's the fact that I've only riding just three weeks but I have decided to put the back in the upright position for the time being despite how shabby it looks in comparison. Is there a trick to it? You can tell me, you won't hurt my feelings.
Well maybe a little...

The bike is Basa$$ enough to ride around with the bird poop on....Besides, it shows that it is actually not a garage queen... I have always had an affinity for cafe racers...

That's pretty odd. I can see the mirrors just fine. Try playing around with some of the angles to see if you can get it to work for you.
