    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

I personally think I would keep it stock. As we didn't get those over here in the states.
 
If you customize it don't make it so radical that you can't return it to stock.
Depends on the kind of riding you prefer. I like to pretend i am fast on the back roads so i usually change things up.
 
Toujours STOCK!
There I said it.
ANd please show us a picture.
 
do what you want..

mine was a cafe..but its more of a streetable cafe...(if you want a true cafe that is)...done cut my frame an the goon scrapped the back peice of my frame, so i cant return to stock...

just dont bobber it...unless you do it correct almost every bobber jap bike looks like poo
 
I've seen really nice cafes done by members here (but not many on Craigslist!) but I can see they are a whole lot of work .They are "done" end-to-end. I'm not over-excited by the picture you posted but it likely gives the feel to ride it .... Still, It'd seem best to me to start with a bike that is beyond being easily brought back...one that is at least as much work to bring to a "stock" look. That's when to choose... maybe look round for a cheap 250-450 as these look (-to me,for what that's worth!-)the best cafe'd-the cafe style is kind of pegged to vertical twins or singles. And there are a lot of these around... Your bike? well,change my mind if you can! but just a flash paint job and a few little changes on a stock bike can be traffic-stopper as to looks.

You are probably right because if I try to return it to stock it would be a pain in the a## trying to fit the bits back on. Thanks for your advice:D
