Hi from new member - I want to do a cafe racer
Hi Everyone,
Just joined and will be lurking a bit as I am thinking of doing a cafe racer using the curvy SV as the base. So all the usual questions as I try to work out whether what I want to do is feasible and won't cost an arm and a leg. I am thinking naked (though I do like a small half fairing), new rear subframe, new rear seat/bodywork, possibly new instruments (see above) and some lovely USD forks plus a small stubby exhaust can sitting as low as possible. So nothing super fancy.
Does anyone have a recommendation on the exhaust or do I look to cut/ adapt the pipe after the collector thing and plumb in one?
If anyone is looking to sell a decent bike dirt cheap in a few months I'd like to know and if that had GSXR forks that would be a bonus.
I am in Bucks, near Uxbridge. Previous bikes include a 2000 Triumph Daytona and an RRS Honda Fireblade with a bit of a gap between them.
Cheers,
David
