I am looking for a 2nd sporty, thinking of doing a cafe project, love the 883R dual disc front brakes.

I think I can get this for $4k, decent buy?

Yes, decent buy. However, please think hard about the whole "cafe" thing - it's the rage now, but will only be for another year or so. Then you've got a bike just like everyone else's cafe project.

 

I have, and am not 100% sure of it. I think there is a lot of cool options for that bike. I have a good buddy who does motor work and loves the carbed bikes, he would love to do this into a 1200.

Like I said I am not for sure yet, gonna go look at it hopefully tomorrow, seems like a pretty nice bike for 4k.

 

Good buy

 

You're gonna get robbed when you show up with the cash. Good deal.

 

Better jump on that! Looks great.

 

Cafe bikes have been popular since the 60s and I don't see that changing.

Plus, who gives a crap what is popular?

You like them? Build one!

I think its a great project and I hope you post pictures as it progresses.

 

I keep picturing it with cafe rear fender kit (black w\ white stripe) and seat pad, new Progressive 970's with the piggy back, RSD tracker exhaust, lick's clip-on's, and the RSD headlight\speedo bracket + motor work.

I just love sporty's, don't like much else. I could put about $7500 including purchase price, would be bad a$$, IMO.

 

I say go for it.... make sure to post pics of the progress....

 

DEFINITELY! I would offer 4k cash and walk away with it. Cafe' that bitch out too man! That'd be awesome!
