now then fellas.
been watching peoples bikes, as ya do, and thought id share what id been upto in the garage. had the bike for about 4 years now but never really got round to getting anything sorted out, its was more a bike that would be a good learner then i could get a one of those plastic sports bikes like me darrs. coming from a racing background from me downhill push bike i thought long and hard about if it was a wise idea and i opted out [pussy].so that left me with my 400/4. looked around at what else there was and found www.benjiescaferacer.com and that was that.
the bikes currently at my parents and im living 130miles away at my girlfriends house so progress is err on hold.
here she is so far...
still to do-
strip frame down, paint.
clean engine up.
wire me handlebar controls back up.
mount the tank an inch further back.
rearsets.
brake light.
electronics and battery relocation.
only problem im having is trying to get the battery somewhere so it isnt really seen and i dont have space for it under the seat.
does anyone know if you can get pretty small batterys, cause the stock one could be a brink from a prehistoric castle.
not many people go for clip on bars, am i too young to see im missing a vital part of the cafe race era or is it just what people like?
take it easy
