Sportster

I thought this picture was lost years ago,but Tami found it the other day. I think this was taken just before it was shipped to Japan. I rode this bike to the last race at Ascot Park and all over Southern California.

Old School Cafe Racer

All Present and Accounted For

 

Thouroghly cleaned, ready to assemble and hopefully this thing will run again.

Cafe Racer redesign

I have been working on the latest Old School Cafe Racer. I want to use some pieces that I haven't used before. The tail section and seat area are always an important piece. I had mocked up one but have decided to toss it out and start over.
Back to the drawing board.

A picture before it went into the frame.Sorry I took so long Andy.

CB750 DOHC Cafe Racer

New CR Keihins and some new photos for a recent build.

CR Keihin for CB750

I installed a set of these on a recent build and can't believe the difference. Worth every penny. Easy start up, smooth idle, great throttle response.This will be standard equipment on my CB750s SOHC and DOHC.
They will be for sale on the updated website., but for now just drop an email to: bob@oldschoolcaferacer.com
$795.00 with free shipping to 48 states, and include the velocity stacks too.

Altamont

One of my last races before leaving California was at Altamont Speedway.
Interesting history for a race track.

The Otter Finally Arrived

The CR carbs I have been waiting on arrived in LA today. Maybe they will be at the shop in time to get them on and go for a ride before the snow flies

New Blog

Check out this new blogspot, Retro Dudes.

Mark Cash, who has been a friend of mine for nearly thirty years will be selling some of his cool designs and reto items on the blog. I might sell an item or two occasionally.

The site is www.retrodudes.blogspot.com

The Shop Is Growing

I have been very busy. I have a few projects going on. Two of them are nearly complete, I have been waiting on a couple sets of CR Keihin carbs. I have been told they are on their way from Japan, they must be on a rubber raft being towed by a sea otter. One set is for Jorge's cafe racer and the other for my next CB750. I finally finished Andy's engine and need to assemble the freshly cleaned carbs to see if will run for the first time in years.
The website is getting a complete rebuild too. It was getting a bit dated and needs some lovin.


The other big project is a new designated fabrication and shop area. Stay tuned for updates.

Marks 650 runs again !

The last time this bike ran, it caught on fire.Mark turned on the fuel and Chet is ready to start it.
Brian is ready with the fire extingusisher just in case.

Carbs

The more I work on them, the better I like fuel injection.
