So im thinking that im going to build it into a café racer style bike even tho its a step thru.

Something like this...

I don't have the rear wheel yet so its only a front sitting in there for a photo.

Its also getting a repower, im not sure what yet (if you have anything cool/fast hit me up)

I do have his kt100 kart engine which is tempting me but it is direct drive single speed, so would only really be keen if I could sort a cable spec clutch and maybe a gearbox. Anyway ill just wing it.

So made a café tail and bolted it to a bit of wood to make a basic seat pan so I can work out what needs to be trimmed off the bike.

 

I cut the end off the rear guard and slit and widened

The bike had a bit of a fat ass,

 Its way wider than the seat so it got a trim

 Now its the same width as the seat.

The top half of most bmx jump bars make good cheap low clubman bars, just chop off below the cross bar and use that to mount them flipped in a stem etc.....or you thinking halfway down the fork lower?

Looking at those pics makes me want to learn to weld
