My name is Gustavo and i am founder of Retrorides by Lourenço
In the last 30 years we have customized cars and motorcycles but after the project of our blue bmw k100, we recieved hundreds e-mails of people interested, not just in our exclusive suspension but in step by step customization,for those interested here is our work explained in detail, we call it "THE CAFE RACER BIBLE"
In this e-book you can download all 3d plans available , as the rear suspension ! there is a tech tips too !and pics to help to build it !

Spray paint to create photo background graffiti?
Are the covers made of plywood that can be used as the new seat?
If you follow a book, can a cafe truly be yoo-neek?

I do not have trained eyes or skilled hands to make one like yours. But I want it Gustavo ?
Will you make me one ?

I recently saw your post from May 2019 regarding your book "the Cafe Racer Bible". I love your work and your novel rear suspension. I'd like to know if the rear suspension linkage you've designed and detailed in your book/CAD drawings is suitable for use on a K75? I have a 1995 K75 that's the perfect (ugly) donor bike and would like to use your suspension approach in an upcoming build.
Also, if possible I'd like to know what geometry is included in the 3D plans you mentioned and if any of the CAD files work for a K75!
Thanks,
Russell

Can one be both radd and yoo-nook?
Or only radd or only yoo-neek?
Or yoo-neek but not radd?
Or radd but not yoo-neek?
If they are both, then do they become something else?
Yoo-neekly radd?
Raddly yoo-neek?
Something else entirely?
How does this work? Do I have to buy the book to find out? Do I have to build one to find out? Can I start cutting at one, let it sit behind the garage in the weeds, then give it away to the neighbor kid and still find out?
I have questions. So many questions. I don’t even like coffee.

Just hang on to your S. In a few years when the cappuccino gang has hacked every other brick into identically yooneek super rad cafe bikes just having a stock brick will be the most radily yooneek ride.

OK, it’s Johnny’s shocked face, but mine is similar.
A member of almost a year with only one post, which is trying to sell something, let us down?

Where is the creativity in that? There is something troubling in this focus on rear ends. I wanna see the bike where the builder expresses his supreme creativity and disdain for convention by removing the steering head.

Why so much interest in that rear loop? How can a custom brick be yooneekly super rad when it has no rear loop just like every other yooneekly super rad cafe racer.

Good idea. Getting rid of the steering head would lead to a significant weight reduction and elimination of those pesky steering head bearings.

tbh I don't really get all the hate for this rear end. Yeah it's not super unique but it looks way better than stock IMO and I don't think having one part that's pretty common would kill how cool my build is.
For my bike, I'm not planning on using the CNCed loopless rear end, I don't think the CNCed look really matches the rest of the frame and I think something similar, but fabricated with tubing instead would look much better. Just wanted to check it out in fusion360 and see how this was made, lol.
I also think something like this looks really cool, so I might end up doing this instead:

There is also this one which I like a bit less, but I really like the tank/loop color and it would match really well with my front end (09 zx6r):

Yeah! Now we're talkin'. Now that is yooneek!
Bet you won't find that bike in the weeds out behind the garden shed.
