If you aren't fabricating your own rearsets the only two options I have found worth entertaining out of the box are: 1. Sato 2. Chainsickle

I was going to go with Sato, but I've been leaning towards contacting Shane at Chainsickle to see if the local guy will get me exactly where I want to be with them.

I have my entire project planned down to the last detail, I'm just waiting on $$$ to become available. We spent a tad more on stuff at the new house than we were figuring. So for now I'm still all talk and no action.


If you have the cash the Racetech suspension in a custom length at the rear is the way to go in my opinion.

all the **** you post is way cool and i can tell you're into the "modern day" one off custom style cafe's. i'm just not feelin this one. that looks like something paul jr. would come up with. not to mention...and above all, it's got some wanna be panhead style rocker box tops....that's weak! i hope they lose.

Haha I'm into just about anything. There isn't anything special about that bike and the only thing that I like about it is the seat. I like modern and old I'm a big fan of some of the Triumph Tridents that have been built into some amazing cafes. Most of the pictures I put up are ones that I stumble across that one being a prime example was just posted on bike exif.

This one's a little more drag race style, but it's still cool.
