Lee Harvey... Are you kidding? In Texas, yet! Bet you get some "winks" when you intro yourself at the local watering hole. Last name wouldn't be Oswald, would it?

So. Welcome to the funny farm. A number of R65ers in the MetroMess, myownself included.

nope, no kin to the lone gunman. people started calling me that in high school and it just kinda carried over to the forums.

L.H., we're practically neighbors.  I still keep a house in Arlington, home of the Boss Hawg Bowl, but Mrs. Phorqs said I had to move in with her in Bedford when we jumped the broom last year.  My son, Earl Phorqs, has my R65 and still lives in my house over by Randol Mill Park.  

While I can't hold a mechanical candle to most of the folks on this forum, I'm probably good for a Shiner Bock and some moral support.  We'll try to get Monte to amble this way some time.  He still owes Justin a bag of sand so he might get this way one of these days.

I can also bore you to death about Cafe Racer's if required.

There are many styles, but I hope you want to do more than fit Euro bars.

Here is a link as to how it first came about:

Welcome to the forum.

As you can see, Steve is the man when it comes to styling café racers. That little red one is a real beauty although I prefer the more sedate RS modification.

greetings from a white and cold north with lots of snow and deplorable riding conditions. (I am really longing for dry roads and warmer weather)

Say, that rockerboxer website listed above has some really wild bikes!!!

Steve Hawkins, what type of muffler do you have on your cafe racer?  How do they sound and is there any performance improvement?
