Default Re: My Cafe Racer custom... have I undersold it?

A bit late to the party (first time I've come on here this year) but as I see your bike is still for sale.........

I broadly agree with everything that has been said. Having checked out the pics in your ebay ad, I think the overall look is great (and I'm very fussy when it comes to bike styling / restyling, so i'm genuinely impressed with what you have done).

Overall - you've elevated an old SV into something that looks altogether far more special, but it is now rather crying out for a bit of paint / nickel plating and some stainless fasteners on the lower half.

Can't help thinking that you could do better splitting it, Possibly some existing curvy SV owners out there who'd consider paying you a four figure sum for the pipe, seat and bodywork, so you could offer it up as a "makeover kit" maybe taking the buyer's standard stuff in p/x to help you put your bike back to stock.
