A note to old forum members...
I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.
Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.
Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
A CB.
Stole this one off ebay a while back.
Dont know what he ended up getting for it but the bike was LOADED with detail.
Cant remember where this one came from.
Nice though.

MY point was the bike in question has NONE of those things. Its just a hacked off frame, and a bought plastic tail and some clubman bars... There is NOTHING done to the bike to actually IMPROVE anything. Its, as i stated in my first post, an cosmetic imposter. That was my point.Ok so now I am really confused
So far we have a cafe has to be
(1) light(er)
(2) fast(er)
(3) better handling
Than stock, cool no problem with that.
Now there is also a rule that you have to make the bits for it yourself? Who said and why?
What is the difference between an after market seat and an after market fork brace, or clip ons, rearsets and what about a swingarm?
A lot of people w@nk on about store bought bolt ons, but if it makes the bike light(er), fast(er) and better handling what is the problem? why is that not cafe?
TCK I don't mean to single you out, it is just you are one of the more vocal members here when it comes to this sort of thing.
At the end of the day for better of worse these bikes are *someones* idea of a cafe, and seeing as there is not some rule book out there, opinions will differ....
There was no need to guess....just read my sig...And I thought that you did not even like motorcycles!

Well...true...

No offense taken. My project turned out exactly as I expected it to given the budget I allowed for it. It did what it was supposed to do. It also was a bike that I wouldnt keep around as my ONLY bike as it simply was not good for anything except flicking around in corners. Now, I have other bikes that are nearly as capable, and a HELL of alot more comfortable doing it. So, the cafe's parts became useable for other projects. The motor for another 750 im working on, the fork brace went elsewhere..etc etc. You see, I enjoy working on/building/restoring/rehabbing bikes ALMOST as much as riding them. So, Ive ALWAYS got a project or two going. And, in the end, I rarely keep them. So, you can assume what you wish about what *I* do, or how my project turned out in my mind, whatever, but you'll likely be wrong, and just continue to prove to me what I already suspected.
And, Im still not sure where you get im hatefull toward anything thats not stock. Its pretty evident that quite a few of my bikes ARENT that. But, i suppose thats where assumption gets you.
