Yuck, way too busy, looks far too chunky, none of the lightweight simplistic look that a SC should have.
Its a good effort and clearly a lot of work has gone into it. to clean up the lines they could bin the airbox and shift a load of the electrics into the alcove under the tank (thats what i am attempting to do) a tiny Lithium battery would be much easier to hide too. i bet its a hoot to ride though!
Lots of work to end up with a dogs breakfast! I've yet to see a decent cafe racer based around a 4 valve lump.
radiators, hoses and cables do not a great café racer make. It actually looks as if someone has taken the fairing off for cleaning, or for working on the bike, and presented the bike with a very dodgy seat. It's only café racerish in intent.
to be honest hiding the cables and wiring is going to be the toughest job for me on mine, theres not much can be done with the rad and hoses apart from make a feature out of them...
I like it. A set of bar risers, bar end mirrors and a more rounded rear cowl would look the job. You'd smarted up the frame colour too ? Good effort.
