Hi all,
yes it is a R6 Fork, the Gauge is from a german company called motogadget ( http://motogadget.com/en/ ) and is very nice indeed. The top triple tree is standard R6-type but I had cut off some things and polished it...

Re: My CafeRacer Project
yes a thumbs up from me as well Thats the way to do it. As you know it looks like it was built that way from the factory...seamless. Style says it all ,One would be hard pressed to even equal your final incarnation, regardless of the money one decides to utilize..Your bike.... is that good!
That is a beautiful creation.

Re: My CafeRacer Project
Omg this is a wet dream! Question: how are you able to run lights with a PVL ignition?

Re: My CafeRacer Project
Hi,
the ignition itself is Yamaha with a zeel-box! The PVL Part is only the coil...

Re: My CafeRacer Project
Very nice work!
How well does the dry clutch function? Which type of clutch pack did you use?
Is it posssible for you to post video of the engine running so we can see and hear the dry clutch?

Re: My CafeRacer Project
I'll second that. It would be fun to hear your machine.
Im not really a big fan of dry clutches..they just sound like.... revolving baskest full of rusty wire But it is unusual and different,same can be said of the basic 2-sroke sound on some bikes, use the wrong chambers or too short of silencers or god forbid just stingers They can sound just awful,and one of the most irritating sounds in all of the motor world...when done wrong.
But on your bike the sound would equal the retro charm youve created...it would fit like a glove
