great to know!! Hopefully this summer I'll be looking for another to cafe myself! One of my favorite bikes ever! Hmmm.... might build a desert sled instead...

there is a local guy (about 75ish) who was a machinist (and madman) he hated the vibration on his xs650 so he rephased the crank. still vibrates but he dosnt have to use red locktite on everthing.
he has lathed and cnc'd everythingfor me for years if it wasnt for him id still be trying to pay for the maching and adapters for the stang

did he do a 277, or a 270 resplined and welded crank? Bob Bertaut on 650motorcycles.com builds them, too.

Doug - I never imagined you to be a crotch rocket type of guy! Nice bike though!

No No he did a 3.2 and he used potting soil, rubber cement and yellow #5

I ran a 7.4 in the 1/8 . Never ran in a 1/4 . None around here 8^(

ohsoslow, you have any old minibikes? i used to collect/buy/sell old rupps, benellis, bonanzas, ect.

GSXR 1000 is good for a mid 6 with a good rider .

Simon , you should have seen my Yamaha RZ500 I use to have , it was my first cafe bike , and one of the most people attracted bikes I ever had .

I could go nowhere without it drawing a crowd .
Last I checked there were only 6 in the U.S.

Doug - Awesome! An older one like this?


That looks great.

I've been checking out ADVRider.com of late... I got hooked from a story about a guy who took him and his wife from WI, down into Mexico, South America, and then back. It was an amazing story, a ton of GREAT pictures, and he did it on his Sportster.

Maybe I'll find a cheap dual sport and do some touring with it.
