    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

That can't possibly be a cafe bike, it has a front fender. :eek:

Nicely done.

He rejetted the carbs so it'll belch flames on decel. The turn signals strobe slightly faster than legal, but you get an audio cue now.

Nice looking paint work.
 
The front turn signals are built into the headlight.LED's. So are the rear turn signals.
 
I really really like that. You made very good use of the nice lines on the G tank, in my opinion, and integrated that into the seat and tail. Nice job. Super nice.

Cafe bikes can have fenders. Here are my two, that I don't own any more, from the 70s and early 80's.

'69 Atlas cafe, taken in front of the fire station on the Ortege, where I used to lurk at times waiting for sport bikes to chase. It was slow, but going East, the road was tighter from here, which worked in my favor. This bike was about 390 pounds.


Triumph Trident in Trackmaster frame. Around 350 lbs. Magnesium rims, Ceriani fork.

 
That is a great looking bike AndyMan. Very nice job and I like the paint a lot.
 
I did buy the tail section. Its the phat cafe tail offed by Dime City and others. Thank you on the Paint. I drew it out and a friend of mine sprayed it. Will put up some close up pics of it .
