Cafe Racer Considerations
I have a lot of ideas in my head about "cafe-ing" out my 48 this year, and was hoping to get some insight on things I may not have thought of. My thoughts so far:
1. Memphis shades cafe fairing
2. Biltwell clubman bars with some type of riser
3. Longer/upgraded rear shocks to raise riding position and make rear sets more possible/comfortable
4. RSD type 2up seat with a rear fender chop
5. New front fork springs to raise front by same amount as rear
Any other things to consider. Any reasons why you wouldn't do any of the above? I'm 6'3 so seat height is not a concern for me (other than I wouldn't want it to get any lower).
thanks.

Cool idea.
With long shocks, your belt will be loose at full suspension extension. You might need a belt tensioner depending on how long the shocks are.
You may need new cables and brake line with clubman bars.
