250 cafe

Post by cafe250 »

Beautiful Bike!!! Please, more detailed pictures! How about some info on the build? What parts did you fab? What stock parts did you use? If that tank is the stock scrambler tank, it really worked out well. I have a '65 narrowcase Monza that I am starting with and I have the stock tank and a Scrambler tank. I was actually leaning toward the aftermarket long race tank but I might reconsider. Once again, you have done a nice job on you bike and I look forward to getting more details.

250 cafe Project

Post by del »

Hello.

That is one nice Bike ! I'm almost finished my project too, but I was wondering where you got the Rev Counter, it looks dam cool.

Would you be so kind to let me know where to obtain a Rev Counter like yours ?

Cheers

Wow, that's one nice bike! Don't think I've seen one done up like that. Nice fab work. Where did you get the knee pads for the tank? I have a tank like that, may want do something like that.

Very nice! Now ride it to some of those Ducati gatherings and let the yups see what a real Ducati looks like!

knee pads-rev counter

Post by joe1028 »

domi racer- off a matchless i believe-applied with high tech(good) doubleback tape..
rev counter is a cb 550 that has been taken apart and modified with decals and cable is a ducati cable at the engine and then a honda end added/crimped at the gauge....works ok but is a little off...
have a good one,joe (cold and unmotivated!!) need some warm sun .............ahhhh
