GB 350 Cafe Racer

This cool little guy came to me needing some work done to make things fit and change a few things. It needed the tank to be mounted, seat with a plate so it wont crack the fiberglass, change brake pedal, foot pegs, install stabilizer, make a license plate holder and add a tail light to it. A few other little things as well. The owner races these things like crazy. The tires are shredded on this thing!  So the picture on the right is a before shot.The owner messages these engines to get into the upper 40's in HP, obviously the HP to weight ratio is a big advantage. The harder mode was to change the rear hoop to fit lower and more linear. Once the seat upholstery is on it will help fill the gap nicely. It has a great profile. From here the owner will finish her up with more paint and tlc. I'll post a final when he sends a final pix. Looking forward to it's finished look!



I had forgotten about the project before this which was another 1977 Ducati 900ss.  So I'm including some of the shots of it here as well. This Ducati will go to Auction in January in Las Vegas. The owners of both the above Cafe and the Ducati about got my arm twisted to go to the Auction. It should be quite interesting! You can get a better look at these by clicking on the picture to get them enlarged.
