No duke yet and its going to have to be a project. Looking for a frame for a cafe style bike. Love the frame and the engine and thats what i want on show with great wheels and forks. see you soon hopefully with my thread.
Hello and welcome. Good luck with the project and I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on :tongue:
There's 600SS on eBay that could be used as a base for a cafe racer project although the frame would probably require some chopping. Sport classic frame would be ideal but they are rare :frown:
Ive been watching that one at the moment and talking to the guy. Just not sure if a 600 frame will do with what i want. Ideally i would like to put a 750 or 900 engine in it. Is that possible with most ss engines?
I'm stripping my '02 900 SS/IE if you're interested ? Was going to go down the cafe racer route with it but I've got too many other projects on the go ! Motors had a top end refurb and the whole lumps been re-painted, pm me if you want some more details. Ian
Just wanted to say what a great welcome ive had and greatful for the project oportunities put my way. One of the best Forums ive seen in a while. :smile: Cant wait to start my own thread and build.
Do you have anything specific in mind? I reckon an M1100 would make a great cafe racer, and with not that much work per se
I have been offered a 900ss which has been street fightered. Im really looking for a complete ss so maybe give MADSL on here a pm.
Its proving harder than i first thought, trying to work out the base frames used in the bikes ive seen and like. Gillian 900 has offered a 02 900 ss frame at a good price but just trying to make sure what i start with will work in the vision. I was interested in the older SS frames but now i think the 02 model could be more up to date with the spec etc.
Ive had some great help and interesting phone conversations so thanks for that, struck lucky today with ebay i think so when the gear is in my garage i will be a happy chappy. :biggrin:
