Café from the heart of Europe (intro & build)

[LuckyEight]

so..no major updates...Tarozzi clip-ons on the way from UK, aprilia front disc ordered...engine side covers "polished" but nothing what I'm proud of...I am not so patient as I thought
I cracked my right handlebarswitch housing during polishing Great weekend!!!

I am also trying to figure out the spacers and seals for SR500 front wheel.

 

[LuckyEight]

Well I think I can't no longer ignore my carbs...
They seem to be quite clean inside...anyway I'll buy some home ultrasonic cleaner - big enough to put these bastards in...

 

[LuckyEight]

Clip-ons, Aprilia disc, and my buddy and his knee

 

[LuckyEight]

New stuff...I'm not sure about these grips...
oh and Lucky8 tyre valve caps

 

[willem]

that disc is sick!

 

[LuckyEight]

yeah! I don't like aprilia caliper with aprilia badge on it... so I bought one from mito (Brembo gold caliper)...so I have to make some bracket for it because it's not a bolt-on

 

[xschris]

Looks awesome!!

 

[LuckyEight]

...and the cyclops was born! Just another mock-up with broken Caterham lamp... I really need a 7" headlight
I also decided that the "8 ball" caps look too childish on the wheels, so I used one of them for my new choke rod

Btw thanks chris

 

[LuckyEight]

Oh this speedo looks cool

Maybe I'll give it a try

Speedo up to 360 km/h...I'm not sure if it's enough for my bike

 

[LuckyEight]

holy $h1t...that's huge! I can't believe it's 19" tyre...

 

[tbakic]

dude your build is so awesome! you have encouraged me to go all the way with my bike build, i cant wait to rip mine down this winter and paint/polish/freshen it up keeping an eye on your build for sure!!

 

[LuckyEight]

Tbakic: thanks man! I know about your build. It's the sharpest café I've ever seen.

 

[LuckyEight]

tiny screws on butterflies are worn too much so I left it as it is...hope it won't cause any harm to o-rings
one pic of my home ultrasonic cleaner and one of my new coffee cup

 

[LuckyEight]

Oh and finally new front wheel spacers for SR rim...and rear LED lamp...and new gloves

 

[LuckyEight]

Some updates...The heart is ready to beat and SR front wheel is on the bike with new tyre. I am so excited

 

[Greasey Fingers]

Im not usually a huge fan of the whole drilling out the sprocket cover thing, but I really like the hole pattern & sizing you have chosen with yours. Very nice

 

[LuckyEight]

Thanks GF... As always, there are few things which I would do different way next time. But I am happy with the result (talking about engine). Now I have to choose some nice café seat shape
