Café Racers

Hey folks

Im not one for just liking one style of bike. Love trikes Super sports, Customs and anything with two wheels really.

Recently had a right hankering for a café racer style project.

Has anyone here got anything like it or experience with them.

Seriously would love one as a rebuild project.

Cheers chaps

My uncle bought one of these recently:

Oh a royal oilfield. Saw one similar in edinburgh the other day. In fact now I think about it the bike always sits there.

THIS

Should have the bike in the next month Still a while but need to clear room for it and do a few jobs to get money for it.

Not 100% cafe racer but could all change lol

People keep mentioning I may have issues with such chunky tyres. but then no one comes up with what may actually b the issue. any ideas?

Only thing i can think of is because there so big they may flex and pop off the rim?
