Just picked this up yesterday. I plan on turning it into a cafe racer. The bike looks amazing from 20 feet away. But the paint needs some work. I don't know what I am gonna do...but I don't want the typical "cafe" paint job.

On a side note...It won't get any spark on one side? Any ideas?

 

Wow... that thing looks to be superb condition... congratulations and happy putting(as in put put)

 

nice bike. couldn't you find something rattier to cafe? it's a shame to put a grinder to something so original.

 

this.

 

I love the ergonomic hand grips of those days... they realy were very comfortable.

 

I know some people will flip that I am turning this into a cafe, But when I got it the last owner did a HORRIBLE attempt at a resto. It looks great from 50 feet away. The tank was horriblly repaired and there is over spray on everything. So I am just going to make it how I want it now.

 

Looks 10000x times better than the '68 I cafe'd. Good luck man, PM me if have questions... I've practically rebuilt/replaced everything on mine!

 

That may be true, but that bike looks fairly complete... that can be hard to come by

 

Very nice, I've been lusting over one my mom's cousin has, it's been sitting for years in his garage

 

Maybe try to do a scrambler resto? I just love those side pipes and like Schu said, it looks like it has all the parts...
