Paulwhite Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 1st of all if it aint broke dont fix it! you can sell it for more if its standard. its going to be quite a bit of work for a 125, ur best bet would be to take a few pictures of it without the seat and plastics, then we can have a better look at the frame.

Noise Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hey, and welcomer to the site! ANY thing is possible if you are willing to put the man hours in and are prepared to wait for it. I couldn't see the pic on google so if you find it and copy n paste the web URL in here so we can see what your after and also post a pic of your bike using photo bucket then im sure we can go from there.

Paulwhite Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 well.....from what i can see it looks like an easy conversion. looks to me like they have done the following. changed bars (e-bay) taken back end of plastics off replaced seat (suppose you could make one from fibreglass) taken plastics on tank, off if the frame goes right up to the lights then i think what they have done is cut the back end of the frame off (would have to put a new lights on there) your better off not cutting it front fender off of something (or cut a 2nd hand original fender to size and paint ?) put small rear fender on (from something else ......try e-bay?) taken the covers off the clocks taken wing mirrors off (not such a good idea have a look at bar end mirrors) and changed the exhaust. (think wemoto.com do them) yeah think thats about it ....as far as i can see you might be better off getting a spare 2nd hand seat and see if you can get it upholsterd to the cafe racer one, or try your hand at making one? keep all the parts you take off and put them in a safe place, then if you ever come to sell the bike, you have them (makes for a good selling point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thats it. Job jobbed. What he said! but to be a real cafe racer it has to be able to do a ton that's the hard bit, also its nice to be inspired by someone else but don't do a copy, a cafe racer is all about your own individual style and input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
