I am currently building a cafe racer type thing based on a CX500 with a CX650 frame ,the retro bikes are good sellers but its dead cheap to build your own version and personalise it to your taste

A guy Jlawie that used to be on here started a CX500 cafe bike build and was posting pics up but faded off the site before he got to far.

Incidentally he’s the only Slapper I’ve actually met in person, he came to Sydney and caught up with me at a track day back in the D600.org days.
