That’s right, we’re huge fans of small bikes with a lot of go, especially when it comes to around town bikes and bar hoppers. This mini cafe bike is basically a Yamaha G6S with a 100cc YL2 motor transplanted into it and a custom one off Vanguard expansion chamber to add some serious grunt! After the motor was rebuilt it was time to address the pipe. Our pipe,...

This is one of our two RD350 projects built as a collaboration in 2009. This is what we started with back in 2008. In retrospect we probably wouldn’t have started with something so rough but most of it ended up in the bin anyway so no big deal. Some posts from this bike we have coming down the pike include:. Benelli Mojave tank Conversion. XS650 dual disc setup. A little more bike porn.
