Hey guys! I'm starting a Cafe Racer build with my older brother using a 2013 Suzuki AX 100, 2 stroke. It has about 5000-6000 miles.
As stated in the "New users" section, here is my build. I'd like to apologize in advance for the low quality pictures, it was raining and only had my phone. I promise quality pictures next time, haha.
Here's the bike stock:
Here i'm test fitting the headlight i'll be placing.
Here i'm facing my first problem. If you look closely, coming down from the instrument cluster, there's the speedometer cable which cannot be bent. The original headlight has a groove so that the cable can go through. The headlight i'm installing does not have one. What do you guys suggest, to loose the instrument cluster? To remove the cable, drill two holes in the headlight body and let the cable go through the holes? I'd appreciate any input.
Here i inverted the handlebar, took me a while. And presented the light as it would be placed. What do you think? In my opinion the handlebars are a few inches big, don't you think? Still have to buy a headlight glass, i have the reflector, but it is not installed.
Some of my future mods that come to mind are: Fiberglass tape for the exhaust, loose some plastic stuff, see what i can i do with the battery, install a cone filter to replace the ugly huge stock one, paint the tank and seat (we still haven't decided on the colors), maybe replace the tires for wider ones, build a cafe racer seat from steel like this one:

Again i'm sorry for the crappy pictures and i just realized some are sideways, i do not know how to fix that.
Any suggestions are welcome. I realize most of these mods are purely for aesthetics and the forum focuses more on performance mods. Either way i hope you guys can help me. Tell me what do you think!
Thanks!!
