For one week only!

Due to the extreme heat,  we decided to just go home and relax. So instead of, No Chrome Friday, it's Go Home Friday.

Weather Forecast for 4th of July

June was busy

June was a busy month. I only made three posts but I will make up for it in July. I snapped a few phots during the month with my phone, but will post some good ones this month.

Cases in the oven

We did some riding, but Chet had to stop for a restroom break.We didn't tell him about his new passenger.

Noah helping with some of the mock- up.


The Montesa saw some progress. Andy's CB900F will be back together this week. A bunch of rims and parts are back from the powder coater. July should be a great month at Old School Cafe Racer.

What am I doing?

 I am restoring existing motorcycles. I use the stock frame, I use the original engine.Sometimes I change the color or add a few different style elements. When I am done they look nice.They are fun to ride.They are much safer than when I started, because the worn parts were replaced with new ones.
That is what I am doing.

81 CB750 Cafe Racer for Jorge

This is a special order cafe racer and I have to have it finished by August. The wheels are going to powder coat this week and the stainless steel spokes and new tires will be ready when they return. The frame is ready for the new tail section, and the engine is waiting in line. I should be ready to tear into it next week.

CB750 Oil tank taking shape

Now for the oil line bungs.

Suzuki S32 Seat

I told Tami last week I needed to get some projects finished. The last few days have been very productive.
 I just picked up the seat for the Suzuki S32 today!!

Custom CB750 Oil Tank

The parts are cut and ready to assemble. I will need to install the vent tubes and oil line bungs before I weld it up.

Cafe Racer Seat Pan

I took a little bit of time this morning to fab up a seat pan for one of my cafe racer projects. It came out just the way I wanted, on the first try, that makes it even better.

 A little bit of filing, sanding and it will be ready to paint or powder coat.

Harleys at the Shop

It has been a little different at the shop lately. I have been working on several Harleys.
I haven't had much time to post anything, but I will get on it next week, so don't forget to check back.

Montesa Bearings are Chillin

Sears Gilera on No Chrome Friday

Mark and his beloved Gilera!!!!

We usually go riding after work on Fridays, but it has to be on one of our no chrome bikes.

Most of the time I spend working on motorcycles is spent restoring or rebuilding them, so it's nice to just jump on one of our latest barn finds and just enjoy the ride.

Old School Cafe Racer Retail Area Open for Business

I added a few displays and did some painting. I think it is official now.

Old School Cafe Racer apparel will be available in a week or so.

Other Stuff- Vacturi Carbs

I get some unusual stuff at the shop. This is the first time I have seen a set of Vacturi carbs from a vintage outboard racing engine.

I think I will clean them up and just put them on display. They are pretty cool.
