Default FXDB Cafe Racer

After doing my club bike in Austin, now that I'm in SWFL, I'm thinking of doing a Dyna Cafe Racer, something like this:




I'm looking online, and I can't seem to find any parts other than clip on bars that would work for a Dyna. Is anyone aware of a place that sells cafe seats for a Dyna?

Oh, and what about tank lift kits to get that straight cafe style line? Anyone got intel there?

Don't care for the rims, but otherwise, cool look. But - you are going to need a some rearset controls.

I think the Dyna Bullet is prob the path you're looking for.

Rearsets would be awesome, but good luck finding them... I have searched extensively for them, and could only find custom one-off solutions. It's hard because of the clutch location in the primary... It sticks way out right where you would want them to be. I would love to move my foot controls back even two or three inches. I find it uncomfortable over time to sit in a way that I can't use my legs to take some weight off the seat here and there, not to mention moving my body around in quick transitions. I have some ideas that I've sketched out to try fabbing up...

I love the look of your "inspiration" bike!

Bars are a good start.

One of the tricky areas will be with the tank. A main part of the cafe look is the narrow tank, so you will have to find a way of grafting on a new Sportster "peanut" tank with it's fuel pump location. Where the fuel pump sits in the SB makes it nearly impossible to narrow the tank.

The tank in your inspiration pic, if it is an FI bike, looks like it's a 5 gallon tank off an '07 and newer Sporty (like the one on my old '07 1200C). It's still kinda wide for a true cafe look.
