If you can draw it, I can Make it!

Those were the the fateful words I told my father_in-law, when he asked me to help him build a bobber. Regretedly, at first it was a little rough. But in the end this Bobber turned out fantastic. Started as a 73 TX650 Yamaha, we added a TCbros hardtail, and lots of Billet Aluminum. Great powder coating done locally. And countless hours of hard work.

My first cafe Build

This is (was) my first road bike. Started life as  whooped out Smoker. And it turned into a really sweet machine.. I did all the machine work, including the rear sets, headlight ears, switch housings, Billet oil tank, Headlight Nacelle, Rear frame loop, electronics tray under seat. You know, the usual things. A lot tf these are a generic part, that can work on most any cafe racer, or bobber build.

Start over

I thought i should share with you, what this blog is all about. Mostlly about Motorcycles, My motorcycles, and my passion for them, and all there about.  My first 2 bikes were dirt bikes that i bought in milk crates. My third was complete and together. But was soon, in milk crates. Once I found out that i could take something like this apart, and put it back together properly, I got excited. So excited that i did it again. With the same bike. This time, I found a way to make it better. To make it Mine. And thats where my story begins!!!

Cafe build in progress

Heres my second Cafe build. This time I chose the venerable 650 Yamaha twin. Soon to be another guinea pig bike for all my new Billet goodies!!!!!!
