Building a scrambler/flat track/cafe racer?????

Knew that Yam above reminded me of something:

Oh I definitely would.

And if anyone has one of these sitting around…

Why do I have a sudden desire to buy this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CB650-C-NIGHTHAWK-650-CLASSIC-HONDA-FOUR-RESTORATION-CHEAP-WINTER-HACK/321572996825?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D25400%26meid%3Da1265bfa8ac34306923947633aa54a16%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D10670%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D221591527050 and a welder???

To be fair, I’d buy that Honda just so someone doesn’t have to ride it.

Seeley Honda?? Start messing about with that and you would be shot? 😆

I have an old CB750 in my garden based on this…

Not sure it will ever get there but wrenchmonkees turn out somenice kit;

or the ultimate CX they did a while back;

Hi Kayla,
Can you tell us more about the rear wheel/brake setup for that unfinished xj550 you posted?
Cheers.

That ain’t no Seeley Honda – that’s one of only three RTL 305cc long stroke bikes,the immediate predecessor of the RTL 306 that Rob Shepherd won the British championship on in, I think, ’76.
Sammy Miller Hi-Boy frame, Reynolds 531.

Not a hack bike but I saw this down the shops at the weekend…

Personally I love the Bobber on the right, which brings me to the question, when the cylinders are reversed as so with the inlets being at the front, won’t that make jetting a nightmare (faster you go the more air forced in) ?

Fuel injected… Though tbh even with properly designed ducting you need to be shifting before ram air’s a big positive. Turbulence issues definitely on the cards though. Assuming anyone ever rides it, I’m assuming it’s a show queen.

TBH I’d be less worried about mapping it for forced air, and more worried about forced bumblebees. I suppose they could make a cap for it, like hot rod dudes do for their intake stacks.

some interesting stuff there.

To inspire you here’s a genuine cafe racer 🙂

My current (as it’s been for last year or two!) Yamaha SRX 608 twin shock, due a rebore and lots of other bits.
