    Great looking bike. Excellent color. I'm not a fan of brown motorcycle seats but the craftsmanship is superb. Congrats on the moto show.

        Hey mattfeet great custom 1000!!!! I like how it's totally your bike, but you can still see the factory 1000 hiding in there!
        Can we get a good pic of the tail piece? That's the main thing I want to change on my Litre, I don't like the lard ass look from mid seat back... I just haven't figured out how to slim it down without ruining the bones of the bike!

        Great work on your 1000 though!

          The Cincinnati Cafe Racer group hosted our 2nd annual Garage Brewed motorcycle show last weekend. Unfortunately, the show fell on the same weekend that my wife and I were moving into our new house so I didnt have any time to work on cleaning up the bike. That said, I think the bike showed pretty well! There was a lot of very positive feedback from people, especially the paint color and seat combo. Finally got my Ohlins installed as well. I cannot wait for it to warm up!

          The show is held at a fairly large brewery here in Cincinnati. The first year, we had 3-4k people come through. This year, it was estimated we had around 7,500 people come through the show. It was PACKED. We've already outgrown our venue in two years!
