Default Cip-ons!

I'm thinking of going kinda cafe racer style (or just bad-*** blacked out style) and maybe trying some clip-on bars

I really love the look of some of the exile bikes with drag bars or clip-ons and I think what I have done to my bike so far goes good with that look.

I love the streetfighter look and would kill for the RX bike exile did....should have done clip-ons on it though!

Has anyone done clip-ons or seen pics of it done on a dyna?

Do you all think I would have any issues with them hitting the tank or control issues?

what do you all think? crazy idea, or could be pretty cool?

I think its a badass idea . But look how the pure sex bike has the tank mounted so low , the dyna tank sits a lil high to pull off that look IMHO . I like the look you are going for , keep us informed

Of all the bike builders out there, I think Mitchell does the best job at making a mean-*** lookin' scoot. Exile bikes look like they want to be ridden, not looked at.

As far as Clip-ons go ... they would look wicked on there for sure. I've given the idea of taking my bike to a Cafe'/Racinglook lots of thought as well. Fastback seat, color-matched spoiler, and some Flanders Swept Back Flat Track bars.

yeah, yah know, i think that might look alright.

actually, with a tank lift (the 3in), where your hands are kinda down lower than the top of the tank, would look pretty cool. i've seen that on heavy customs and it just might look pretty good here.

nice idea!!

$75,000. That's reasonable.

Leave the glamour boy at home.

$75,000 for the streetfighter. Is he out of his ****ing mind? You can buy a new Dodge Viper for that much.

I love the look of Exile bikes. The closest I have got so far is a Tee shirt! I must say I get a bit of a kick seeing a fellow Brit getting his **** together over in the Californian Republic.

I think Exile rocks, take a look at some of the cheaper bikes/kits on his site. I thought some of them were pretty good value compared to other custom builders, particularly the hard tails.

On a slight change of subject, remember the XLCR (was it?) a MoCoblacked out cafe racer from about 25 years back. I thought that looked cool then - but that was back when you had to screw the bikes back together after a trip down the road.

Anyway, I digress, I think a cafe racer looks cool. Did y'all see Roland sands effort not long ago. Imagine that without the **** colours. Go for it Cory.

All the best. WW.
