Can anyone who has done this give me a description of how to mount a seat this way? I can figure out a mounting method fairly easily, but I cant quite picture this one in my head and haven't been able ...

CB200t. It's straight and clean inside, about all I could ask for.

Tail section came in today. I got it from cafeseat.com, it's the medium size model ( http://www.cafeseat.com/MediumCafeSeat.html ). It was $125 which included a molded seat pan that allows you to cove ...

More details pretty please! Exactly where? How did you position it? Pics would be excellent.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a replacement gas cap that is not threaded, just a plug. I have an old Honda tank that I'm using for a project that has a broken cap. I cant find a replacement for i ...

Hey gordo,
I have made some progress through research. I know that I have wiring links there, that's the biggest problem. From what I understand LED's can be run at differend intensities- i.e. brake ...

This one gives a slightly better description. I'd just put one together myself if I knew how it was all run together.

Looks like I'm Getting closer. This little pigtail is what I'm looking for but it doesn't give any specs for the type of leds being used or specs on the sizes of resistors inside.

I'm researching it now.

Video-PSSHHHHT! You'll be lucky to get pictures Pumps! LOL!

I kid, I kid!

I will take pics for sure. This group does too much not to return the favor!

Thanks.
It looks like radiantz sells a dual element circuit, I'll check it out and put something together.

Thanks a lot guys.

Thanks for the input guys.

Gordo, so you know what I'm up to, I want to just use a flexible led strip like oznium makes and drill holes in the tail section for each individual light. I had a few c ...

I want to integrate a flexible led strip into my cafe tail section for my tail/brake light, but I have no idea what to look for as far as the product is concerned.

Could this be more trouble than ...

Here we go everyone. My cousin came by last night and started ripping in to my cafe project. We worked for about an hour in the dark and got a fair amount of stuff stripped off.

I got the tank I'm ...

Hey fellas, thanks for the info, I feel better about the whole project now.

dpmphoto, I don't plan to use the stock tank. I had a cb200 tank in mind to use. It's slim from the top and has nice f ...

Couldn't I just douse it with a good aircraft stripper and get into the tight spots with a wire brush. Sanding it all off sounds like a lot of work.

I guess the real question is weather or not the frame is powder coated or painted-it's a 79 special. If it's painted, it'll strip easily. If it's powder coated I assume I'll have to have it blasted.
...

Thanks CS.

I think I would probably keep it low, maybe lower the front a little too. I am concerned with the angle of the backbone though. Maybe it's an optical illusion, but it appears as if the s ...

Hey everyone,
I got my hands on a 79 special a little while back and have had a custom build planned for it since I got it. Recently though, I have been considering going cafe with it. I got an 18" ...

I sketched mine up with a pad of grid paper, a protractor, a compass, and a scale (engineering) ruler. Had fun doing it & got exactly what I wanted. It was about $25 worth of stuff from office max. Yo ...

Thanks guys. I think I'll give the milk crate a try, but that gives me some ideas for modifying a standard floor jack.

I'm going to tear down my bike next weekend and need to get an idea of how to keep it up while I take it apart. Motorcycle jacks aren't too expensive, but I don't know if I'll get enough use out of it ...

CLUBMANS DOWN!!

So say I.

I like the seat up a little higher BTW.

I have a set of what I believe to be stock exhaust pipes on my 79 special. I am not going to use them for my project so I thought I'd throw a trade up here. I'm interested in a set that goes above the ...

I'll give it a shot!
