    Hi all,

    So glad to have found this forum as it seems i already have a lot in common with quite a few people.

    I finally take delivery of my 1992 Daytona 900 next weekend to kick off my winter project. Like a few others I have ordered a CRK kit and will be embarking on my first major build.

    The below is my inspiration, now i know a Daytona is a very different platform to start from but have to work within my budget and this was as close as i could get. I still i think i can achieve a similar look without trying to copy it exactly and end up with something awesome.

    I will start a post (like the others) in the projects thread to show my progress and no doubt hit a few of you up for much needed advice along the way.

    Cant wait to get started

    Cheers
    Jonathan

    Hi all and thanks for the warm welcome!

    Yes indeed I thought the Beemer might ruffle a few feathers but it is more the colour scheme that I am after. Its a shame I wont have the twin rear strut suspension but the idea is to create a modern cafe racer from a more modern bike. My head is already running away with it so who knows how deep this rabbit hole will go.

    I cant wait to get started and look forward to taking you guys on the trip with me!

    Cheers

    Welcome Cafe Hinckley. Yep, looks like a good project... good luck with it. As you are in Berkshire, we look forward to you riding your completed project to Loomies so we can all come and see it in the flesh.
