A decent looking cafe conversion

...for once. On the Klassic K group on Facebook I saw this posted:

I think it's the panels under the tank that address the awkward angle that the bottom of the tank has

He's selling it on Craigslist for 15,000.

For that price i think SWMBO wants him to sell it actually.... [emoji2]

How many buyers can there possibly be at that price?  For that money you cab buy a new Duc with none of the issues of a 25-35 year old motorcycle.

Only one is really needed.

Or a new or nearly new R Nine T which would make a much better base for a cafe racer anyway

new motos are not reliable... the motobrick... especially the rs motobrick... bmws best effort... the new ones are over engineered posure bikes...

Not the first time I've seen that scenario.

"Harold, I want you to sell that damn motorcycle!"

"Yes, dear...  ...can I ride it in the meantime?  It will be a good way to get people to see it."

"Whatever.  Just sell it."

Stage two is the withholding of sex.  That's when the selling price drops dramatically.

Clean looking custom, but I am underwhelmed.

[F14CRAZY]

Yeah I don't see it worth being $15k, or anything close to it. Even with the cowl and seat and stuff being custom made I don't really see it selling at $5k. It's still better than most K cafe conversions, but still it's just a K cafe conversion

[Chaos]

the eloquent prose is a red flag!

[colly]

Not sure I'd really call this a proper Cafe. I see what he did with the lines but some stuff like the rear cowl and the front don't look cafe at all. 15k is laughable, you could replicate it for 5k I'd say but best of luck to him.

[pablooo]

He needs some luck. It's been on Craigslist for about 6 months

[billday]

15 grand for a K100 -- that's hilarious.

But kudos to the guy for solving the problem of the line from the bottom of the tank to the rear of the bike. Most of our "Cafe" and "Scrambler" brothers just totally ignore that problem and it spoils the whole effort.

Uh, Boys, he don't want to sell it, that's why the price. Let's hope he don't,  cause a lot of good K's will immediately be converted to Kafe for the supposed 500% ROI.
