After a long time, I finally have a major update. Engine is in.
Final stage is getting closer. Carburetor came just back from cleaning, material for the seat is already there. Could be on the road in 2 weeks, will probably take another 2 years….

I ride quite a bit of modern motorcycles, due to my daily job, but I never had the feeling like on my first, old motorcycle back in the days. So I decided I want an new (old) motorcycle. And because I like to build stuff, I decided to build my own Caferacer.
I decided to take a Yamaha SR-500 as the basis. First, I love singles, second it´s quite popular and you get a lot of things and information on the interwebs.
