It has potential but the rake and the rear end have everything going the wrong way.The back end needs to come up and the front needs to go down.Longer shocks on the rear and slide the forks up in the triples and it would be right.

Not crazy about the seat but it does look pretty bad with the 2 into 1 and the ac.

Bird man,

I did cafe racers for 20 years. Looks good.

Id suggest bar end mirrors and a 1/4 bikini fairing

I agree with almost everything said. Raise the rear, lower the front and add the fairing.. then it'll be perfect...

That tail is way too big, looks like something off a golf cart and I would loose the belt guards, other than that I like it.
