    Hello all! Glad to find a very knowledgeable group. I recently acquired an 83 Suzuki gs850gl that I want to turn into my first cafe racer. This model came with quite a few extras that I do not desire on my final build. ( fuel gauge, gear number indicator) Would it be wiser to take down the...

    Hey guys I just bought my first motorcycle. It's a 79 cx500. I am planning a cafe racer conversion. First off I want to do pod filters and straight pipe it and rejet the carbs.
