Guzzi leather pouch- custom job

I wanted to fit a small pouch for docs/tools etc during short rides but wasn’t willing to pay for solutions that didn’t match the bike. I found this well-used Japanese leather shoulder bag. It fit the side panel and had the right patina to match the tank strap. The hardest part was punching holes through the full grain leather.
Very happy with the result!

Year Long XS650 Project

Just finished my entry into the Cafe Racer pool. Took it down to the bare frame and sandblasted and painted every part. Re-ringed and resealed the engine.

Millero digital +

Continuando con mi proceso le he adaptado un millero digital ya que el analógico original se le ha dañado una pieza la cual no he podido encontrar ni en internet (dejo de marcar la aguja de velocidad y no es la gualla aparte de no marcar en que marcha estoy). Fue un proceso un poco difícil pues tuve que hacer un diagrama completo del ramal eléctrico de mi moto ya que no sigue el estandar en colores + que nunca había trabajado en algo como esto pero ya he aprendido. Solo me queda colocar los imanes en el rin para que el sensor capte y marque las mph/kmh. Tambien adaptarle un medidor de gasolina mas adelante

Estoy pensando cambiarle el asiento pero lo estoy pensando pues tengo pensado vender la moto y comprar una Vogue 300ac por lo cual no tengo pensando invertirle mucho mas.

I have a 2017 SR 400 and need help identifying some bolts that are leaking oil

Hey guys I'm a new rider been riding about a month now. I got a great deal on a 2017 sr400 with only 500 miles on it. It was sitting in a garage for years. I changed the oil and realized they were leaking oil. The first picture is the one on the frame where you drain the oil. The second picture is a bolt underneath on the right side near the brake by the exhaust pipe. The first bolt has a crush washer and the second bolt looks like it has two. I can't seem to find the info on these bolts.

Thanks !

Help me find this part!

Hi All!

I am starting a yamaha virago build (I know, incredibly original)

And the plan was always to use this subframe with the supplied battery box. But it is out of stock absolutely everywhere that I could find it for sale.

I am based in Ireland, but would buy from anywhere or anyone that would ship my way.

Does anyone know where could I still find one? It seems like most likely been discontinued, every shop that had it for sale, I emailed and response was pretty much universally that they don't know if it will ever be back in stock.

Please help!

Building sorta a cafe racer motorized bicycle.

A mini cafe racer I’m building from a 1967 huffy beach cruiser, yeah it’s just a motorized bicycle, and not a full on motorcycle but it’s mine (in my book the best vehicles are built not brought) My finished project will look similar to the last image, different color, exhaust, and leather saddlebags. I may build a full sized one eventually, but a full sized bike is much more complex(and a lot more expensive)than a motorized bicycle, taking it slow one build at a time.

FOUND: Yamaha Cafe Racer

Thanks to a redditor, who saw my bike parked in a lot by the thief, and messaged me… I was able to recover it today. Thank you to all who shared and kept an eye out for me. Gotta do some fixing on her, but she should be back on the road in no time!

Hiatus has ended!

After 8 long weeks of no progress due to engine being apart and in the shop for cerakoting (was supposed to only take 2 weeks…but I digress), we are back! Here’s a mock up of the parts with shiny new bolts. Now we begin the arduous journey of piecing everything back together.

Spotted in the wild

My buddy spotted me out riding the R9T the other day. I’ve never gotten any rollers on this bike before so I was always curious how I looked riding this bike.

A good cafe racer helmet for a road trip?

Hi community :)

I am going on a trip this summer for 13 days on my speed twin 1200 and I am looking for a new helmet.

I was wondering if you had any recommendations, I am looking for a cafe racer style but can be more sporty!

Currently using my bitwell Gringo, but my last 8 hours trip was kinda bad despite earplugs, but mostly because of the aero that was pretty bad when windy.

Thank you people!

Retro cafe racer

I recently bought a honda hness 350 as it's flexible and easy to convert into anything such as a scambler , brat style or cafe racer . My taste is more of a retro cafe racer bike . Got the very first mod today !
