with the stock fram do i need to make any change to it for caferacer? and where can i get the gas tank or any way we can make one? Thanks
Once again I am going to stress filling in your location in your profile is kind of important. If someone is local to you it is much easier to do things In real life than read messageboards. It is really for your own benefit.
As for the frame there are plenty of manufacturers out ther (airtech being one of them) that can sell you a replica CR750 roadrace tank in fiberglass (and aluminum). 90% of them need no frame modifications to fit, but will require aftermarket seats as the CR tank is very long. There are also cafe racer fiberglass seats (look on ebay) that will work with your stock hinges, tank, and rear fender.
If this were a race bike there are a few frame mods you could make to improve handeling, but for a street bike they won't be necessary.
anyway here is the SOHC resource list - this should get you started on suppliers:
