A new TT handlebar, a new seat, some paint and a couple of loud exhaust pipes I had laying around… Hope you like it.
The look has been around for a long time but it has had a huge surge in popularity over the past 5-10 years. For what was originally a custom bike movement, big manufacturers are making new models in the cafe racer style. What was an awesome niche market dominated by individual riders customizing their rides has become mainstream, and that's usually when these things start to lose their mass-appeal.BBS360: Well the cafe racer "fad" has lasted since the 60's. And it has been my favorite style since the late 80's when I took my drivers licence.
Single disk front and back at most. Some of the stock forks and wheels were also used on other models that did have dual disks so the conversion isn't always difficult.I was wondering about the front brakes. I've seen pictures both with single discs and with double online. These bikes never came with double discs as standard then?
