Update | Fitting the bike

Finally! This week I was able to sit on my café racer for the first time! It was a very pleasant “ride” as you can see on the picture below.
The Spark exhausts will be positioned a little bit backwards. The current position is not the final one, due to a connector I need to bend to fit the silencers to the manifold.




The automotive tape is applied on the clay body this week! This is such a great tool to check out lines on the body of the motorcycle and the planned transition of one surface into the other.
On the second photo you’ll see the two black lines of tape positioned lower than in the last two photos’. I have lifted the lower part of the fuel tank a little bit, to give motorcycle a more aggressive and agile feel.

The coming weeks the volume and surfaces of the café racer will be tweaked further.. Stay tuned!
