are cafe racers comfortable? im planning on getting some sort of classic japanese motorcycle, n theyre noramally standard w/ the stock bars, but the ace clubman bars are a few inches lower. how big is the difference comfort/posture wise?
@daviewavie112 Depends. how big are you? im 5,4 tall. well short lol. an its uncomfortable for me after riding for awile. Im young too. im 24 . With clubman bars they hang low like a crotch rocket with clip ons. But with the old japanese bikes the rear sets are strait down. Soo your bent over alot. If your concerned about the comfort then a cafe racer isnt for you. Most cafe seats are just a rubber sole, or a foam pad. Cafe is about the fun an thrill of riding fast on an old bike
well the bike is running good now with oem jets in the carbs, however the spark plugs are white.. showing a lean mixture. This was running with no air filters. I am going to order the batteries you have shown on your web site so that i can remove my battery box, as it is in the way for the k&n filters to go on. If you did re-jet your carbs could you tell me what size you used?
I'v taken taken the mufflers of mine and it sounds great at idle, however when i ride up the road the bike looses power..bogs down.. i think it is a fuel air mixture issue. It happens once i reach 3500 - 4000 rpm. Thanks--Luke
@lukew854 your bike is running lean because there is less backpressure without the muffler, the air just fly's out with nothing stopping it! go up 2 sizes on your main jets and your pilots as well. you have to rejet, just put the muffler back on if your too lazy to re-jet
Dude very nice. Would be so kind as to tell be if you have any mufflers on there? It look as if you just have the headers on it...sounds great and look really cool!

Yep, there aren't any mufflers on there at all. Those are just open pipes.
