Reader Submittal. How to build a Norton Cafe Racer from Beginning to End.

Here's a few start/finish pics from Jean Des Rosiers excellent build of his Cafe Norton.  If you want to see how it's done you could do a lot worse that checking out his site.

Hi,
Saw your blog and the many bikes you have posted on there, especially Nortons. Please take a look at my café racer build galleries at The bike took about two years of on and off work, mainly on during winter and off during summer. The job started by fitting a belt final drive of my own design and fabrication and evolved into having an open clear area in the back of the engine by hiding everything that normally goes there.

Best regards
Jean

Really excellent stuff!  Thanks Much Jean!

New Triumph Adventure Bike Spy Shots.

One will have 17's for street and one will have 21" front for dual purpose.  I may have to bite the bullet and buy one of the 21" bikes.  Will have a punched out version of the 675 triple for more torque.

Reader Ride! Kawasaki Zephyr 550. One of my Favorites!

 I've always had a soft spot for the Kawasaki Zephyr line of bikes. A very refined version of the original Z and KZ line.

Hi, been a fan of your page for the last couple of months. Thought I'd send in a few pics of my Zephyr 550 project bike. Started out as a homely old craigslist find that I learned to ride on. Project originally intended to just be a fork rebuild and new chain then tuned out to what you see here. I had a lot fun picking everything out, but I could have never anticipated the amount of admiration this little thing gets. Keep up the good work on your page!

Thanks Zach!
