CRK Cafe Racer Kit - Build

Nope, but as you say some of the stuff I saw when I dropped the tank off looked good.

 

The bits are from my S1 White Lightning. I am lucky to also have an XB9R Firebolt

 

It's a spruce up of the paintwork on a standard looking machine (with a number of subtle changes internal and external changes).

The reason being a new Alu Tank (replacing the ethanol affected standard plastic one).

Always liked the Buell White Lightnings, Lucky enough to get a test ride at Dock gate 20 in Southampton when they first came out. Favourite colour scheme was the Nuclear Blue one

 

Never mind the Buell Boothy, has John finished your paintwork yet? And if so wot's it like?

 

I've been silently following your build and I think the (almost) finished result looks awesome!

Have found the whole thread really inspiring and would love to do the same!

 

Sure I seen this

Sure I seen this bike at the Durham Easter egg run
Was that you?
Gorgeous bike mate

 

Massive congrats Boothy - it looks awesome mate and the paintwork looks superb!

I noticed that you have changed the rear brake caliper to a top position - any specific reason for this? (normally the caliper mounts below the swing arm)

I like your mirrors too - was wondering what to do about those and been weighing up bar end vs proper ones. Let me know how you get on.

Hoping we can have a CRK get together soon.

Cheers
Jon

 

Aah very interesting - not seen one with top mount. Wonder why they would chop and change like that.

Bet you are itching to get it out and stretch its legs.

Congrats once again - very jealous!

 

Thats a Handsome looking build - Congratulations - It looks so clean

We need a CRK meet this summer - Might as well be a "factory" (shed) tour!

 

Looking good fella. How is the paintwork (asking with a vested interest....)?
