    I named her Little Loud Lucy. Took me about 2 years to finish. I hope you enjoy how it came out as much as I do.

    Nah, I'm not a fan of a front fender on a cafe racer. Less is more.

    I also don't like front fenders, but you will want to install some sort of fork brace.

    You might also want to look into a way to adjust your rear brake arm so that you are getting more leverage. Right now the arm is so far forward that you aren't able to apply much pressure at all.

    Quite nice! I really like the rear seat cowl.

    Just put the same tires on my 350, love 'em!

    Very cool. I just finished mine up. Original idea was a cafe but I decided I didn't have enough time to really ride it and I have other bikes to ride also. Figured it was better to go back original.

    Seeing this makes me re-think my decision. Nice work!

    By chance did you mount new coils?? I have some XS650 coils for my 360 and am looking for ways to mount them as the originals are different shapes.
    If you have any photos of the coils mounted up I would appreciate seeing them. :1drink
