This bike is hot and sexy and the metallic theme blows my mind. But the part of this bike that is totally frying my brain is that exhaust system. Unbelievable! I would love hear it, but I bet you need earplugs just to ride across town.

Glad you’ve got an explanation and a sense of humor! There was a moment of my own trepidation when I thought another talented shop was being sidelined by the 90′s Grunge Rock meets idiot with mechanic’s tools mentality. I also like the slightly high clubmans as a concession to the theme in favor of somewhat better riding at less than WOT between watering holes in the city. Nice bike and workmanship, and I’m sending you $15 bucks for a nicer temp rear light off a Chinese scooter for those Ad Hoc photo shoots!

Find the mirror and rego plate distracting. Only Harely I’ve drooled over since I first saw an XR1200. Some good paint on the tins would be more to my taste, but the metal look isn’t too bad either.

I know they are clubmans but they are too high. And the footrests need moving too. they’re too far forward.
Ive seen several ‘cafe racers’ now with high bars, the whole point of a cafe racer is that its meant to be a racer with low wrist breaking bars. Maybe its cos im english and these things are close to my heart but but dont dumb these things down.
They were originally built for one thing, and that was going fast so rearward footrests, low bars and big engine were the defining points of making a cafe racer without these things its just not a cafe racer .
If you’re gonna build one, do it right. If I showed this to my old man and told him it was supposed to be a cafe racer he’d piss himself laughing.
Sorry, rant over.
