K2-K6:
Been to bike racing since I was born with family and friends doing bits of racing, so completely indoctrinated I guess.
Ran 750 SOHC Hondas in late 70's, CB900 and CBX 750 in the eighties, We really smoked these things around then and they treat them so gently now.
Funny enough I had a conversation today with someone that was happy to persuade her son-inlaw to give up bikes and sat there thinking I've never thought of being without a bike, ever.
Guess it keeps me out of trouble!

Ok here's a tough question for you then, two really and I know that you will have the right answers.
Is a cafe racer worth more than a standard bike, a cr750 even nicer
Can you point me in the direction of where I can get a long tank, seat etc for a cafe, perhaps even a twin disc conversion would be nice. I am guessing that there must be somebody out there with the parts for these.

When i was in the trade a "cafe" was worth less than standard as everybodies taste is different, Parts are always out there, just some of it is expensive!

I was looking at some of the parts and you are correct, and cafe and cr style are nice but probably to the minority as you say much the same I guess in relation to what some folk do with cars. But more importantly as with cars you never get the money back you threw at it so it might be the same for bikes and once you get into the 5-8k bracket there are so many alternative modern bikes out there for that kind of money and it's the sensable side of me that's fighting with the red blooded side.

Take a look at Carpy's website and see what he does with these old bikes may not be your cup of tea but just gives you an idea.
