So a front fairing and chin scoop is considered a bodykit? I want to see you walk into any motorcycle shop and ask if they have any bodykits and see what they say or the look they give you. You fail ********. A cafe racer is basically a street bike striped down to just the nessasary ----. The word is striped down, not bolt on a bunch of fairing and ----. That Triumph Thruxton with that fairing is retarded looking. You want it to look like a vintage race bike or a cafe? I think your thinking of a road race look with all the fairing stuff.

Wow you monumentally fail at motorcycles. There are a ---- ton of body kits out there: Air-tech, Hot Bodies, LHP, Meyer just to name a few. They all make complete kits for a wide variety of bikes and any kid off the street could walk into any dealership I've worked at and ask for a body kit and he get bombarded with options. No one would look at him funny.

You know nothing.

Look inside the gas tank to see if there is a bunch of rust, or if it's been "creamed" coated. :1

I wonder if Fred Flintstone owns that CB750K above that Bosozuko bike pic? Is that thing foot propelled cause it has no chain? lol.
