Title: My r65 monoshock cafe racer "Death Racer"
Post by: violetpop on April 09, 2013, 06:56:21 PM

Hi all, names Tony. Love my air head and love cafe racers... Purchased this bike over a year ago and set about making it a cafe racer. Did a few things and was happy with it for a while. Now it is going into its second stage being a full resto.  [smiley=bmw_smiley.gif]

This is when i first purchased it.

This is when i finished with the first make over.

This is how it sits now.

The plan is to make it into this.

Now then
Nice bike, I have just been reading about this online, though you've posted with a different colour scheme

Look forward to seeing more
