i have a dyna ignition on mine too! the motor has a mod list that is just all balls. 12:1 large bore pistons, yoshi con-rods, yoshi ported and polished heads, yoshi cam, dyna ignition, up 3 sprocket, magnesium wheels, rejetted carbs. full exhaust (made in japan, but not sure of the make). but the thing is stil slow as shit. i do need to have the carbs redone, it loads up bad with WOT.

i bought some clubman bars, and that same seat from cb750cafe.com yesterday!

got any pics of you old cb?

that 750 you bought is cleeean! definatly a good starting point.

i built a couple cafe bikes too, but with a modern twist.

tha gsxr front looks wicked! i bet that thing was fun! i've been told i shouldn't ride my bike much until i get the carbs looked at. it loads up when floored and doesn't have a lot of low end torque. i get a few pops here and there too.

that two stroke looks very clean! Ton up!

yeah, he's still got it. in no way is that a cafe racer though, lol. that's the same frame design as that bobber i built.
