Hi,
Always wanted a version of this bike ever since I saw it a few years back.

RetroRides K100 Cafe Racer

Part of building it is to have someone machine the shock bracket for you, but I noticed its being produced and sold on ebay and other places. We all know the reputation of these kind of offshore parts, but I have used things such as automobile lower control arms without issue. So if you have had any experience with this item, let me know. Appreciate it.

Cool! but i'd be more concerned about the use of brass bushing pivot points then the strength of the aluminum. Would have been nice to see some plain spherical bearings in there instead.

did that guy cut his VIN stamp off the frame? You might want to give that step serious consideration.

He did, I have seen people re-weld the tube(s) with the vin stamp between rear remaining rear frame to engine tubes.
