Post by mhardgrove »

Hey all,

I watched a show about cafe racers the other day and now I'm interested in building one. Is there any good motorcycle salvage yards in Denver?

Don't know what your budget is but here's one suggestion:
http://www.enfieldmotorcycles.com/model ... racer.html

And here's another:
http://www.rycamotors.com/

Actually, I think the Ryca will be the cheapest, and the most reliable as well, since it's based on a Suzuki S40, which has been around forever, ad is both cheap and widely available on the used market.

Either would be less trouble than a straight-up resto of an older model bike, plus the conversion bits.
