Cafe Racer

I have been very busy with other projects and have been neglecting the latest cafe racer. I hope I can focus on it for at least two straight weeks and get most of it completed. I spent the last two days doing some electrical assembly, mounting the tires, and finishing the front end assembly. I need to assemble the engine and get it into the frame and work on the seat design.
I am using the stock seat pan and had to spend some time getting it aligned correctly. After I get that done I will sandblast it and have it powder coated to match the wheels.
After I started putting some of the bike together, I changed  a few things and sent out a few other parts to be powder coated also.
I decided to use the fork gaiters on this one, to give it an older look and used some different headlight brackets and a chrome headlight bucket. I have never used the stock Honda headlight bracket and bucket. I think they look kind of cheap. I don't like to use the stock speedo and tach either. They just look to large and clumsy.

My buddy Mark is working on his latest creation in the background. He finally moved his stuff to the shop, because he was freezing and not making much progress in his barn.
