Hello! Congratulations for the great site!

I have a gn125 and I would like to make it look like a caferacer!
I won't race with a 125 engine of course, I just like the style.
Where does I start?

GN 125

Thanks!

I'd start by taking everything off the bike, selling it, and getting a new bike. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

just kidding. take off anything unnecessary. those bars have to go, the blinkers, that lunchbox sized brakelight, you could probably shape that seat into a cool solo seat and have it recovered. that's a start.

Find a picture of a Honda GB500 ...good example of a cafe-style Honda.

I was just kidding. good call on the bars and you could always get some smaller blinkers. I think the pipe will look good.

did you see the gb at louden in june?? there was also a cbx400. there was a guy up the street from my place in boston who had a gb. he used to park it on the street all of the time. there was someone in club selling one a while back. there is also some lame country music video i see parts of and i think theres a guy riding one. take off all the parts and sell it, thats funny.

DGY still has one--it was in the back of his van at the races. Said it was his wife's ride. There's one two doors down the street from me. I offered her 3K last week, and said if she gave it to me I would let her ride it whenever she wanted. Her reply— "Give me 3K and I'll let you ride it whenever you want" She's owned it since new.
