Carppy's cafe racer
« on: March 09, 2018, 06:30:34 PM »
Hello Chaps.
I have stumbled upon Carppy's cafe racer website where he lists several items of interest.
Has anyone used his stuff? If so. Is his stuff any good. As I'm probably going to need headlight shell
& standard brackets. Amongst other bit & bobs.
Your insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sean.

He’s a member on here but doesn’t post very often.
I’ve spoken to him on numerous occasions and he has a soft spot for those who still live in the UK.
Not tried his stuff myself but have nothing but good reports.

I have his 4 2 1 stainless exhaust, very good and fitted like a glove. great guy to deal with and as a Brit himself, try's to look after us guys here. exhaust was sent as a gift, so no import duty  :)

I think he's quite well known in the cafe racer / custom community in the states / LA  and likes his British roots.  I guess he has a reputation to look after...
