Buell Cafe Racer

[doberdann1019]

I found these concept Buell Cafe Racers, they look pretty sweet. I might try to pick on an older Lightening or Firebolt this summer and try to make one..

I have not done much work on my XB12Ss or for any motorcycle for that matter and want to learn more about the bikes. Maybe a project like this could help, ( I sure learned a lot about my jet ski when rebuilding it without any prior knowledge!)

Does anyone with more experience think something like this is feasible? My big question would be where to hide all the electronics?

The concept is from "Holographic Hammer" - https://www.facebook.com/Holographically.Hammered

Photo shop will hide anything, including electronics. Those are drawings of some sort.

lol at photoshop comment.

Anyways, I know it isn't the SAME style, but it reminded me of this thread. I actually saw it on another forum first, which linked to here.....

The second is feasible, the first has nowhere for the electronics

With a bigger headlight you could fit a few inside it and with a shorter muffler you could put the battery there ... i think ...
Man I love the wheels on Less than zero's bike ! [up]

Agreed - and you could work out putting the electricals beneath the red front fairing, a la Firebolt...

If I had a bike like in the "Holographic Hammer" images, I would run the bike both ways at different times - with and without fairing pieces.

What about swapping to a carb to shed some electronics?
Just curious... I don't know anything about it.
