    My '79 Cafe Build

    My great uncle bought this new and passed it down to me about a year ago. I would like to know what you guys think of what I am doing with it.

    I like it overall! Not a huge fan of the taillight, if it were mine I'd rather have it recessed as opposed to proud, really dig the rest if the look, especially the motoGP style pipe, looking forward to seeing how you integrate that, but it's your bike, do it how you like.

      There are some things that I wish I could have done if money wasn't an issue. Over all I am happy with my first bike build. I will keep updating pictures as the project moves along. I made 4 different taillights and ended up liking this one the most. There isn't much room inside the tail piece I made and I couldn't figure out a way to recess the light like wanted with out switching to LED's.

        I understand how that goes, sometimes you just gotta end with function over form. But like I said, it's your bike, so the only opinion that matters is your own!
