Unlike many production café racers, the German brand’s take on the genre boasts a legitimately-aggressive riding position that’s great in the canyons but can get old in the city pretty fast This Honda FX Vigor comes from French workshop Meca Services Powered by the cc thumper found in the Honda Dominator, this cafe racer started its life as a dual-sport motorcycle. The Vigor performed well on and off the road, but Isidore felt the torquey single could make a decent cafe racer, and he was rightEstimated Reading Time: 2 mins

View Full Version : Thumper Cafe Racer. Hey had an idea and was after your thoughts thanks. Was thinking of getting a cb or similar frame cafe racerish and fitting it with a large single thumper, single thumper cafe racer, around hp.

Just for something different and because i can, or wanna try to single thumper cafe racer. Thoughts please, single thumper cafe racer. Single thumper cafe racer be better off getting a newer bike, single thumper cafe racer, summat with decent suspension and brakes, single thumper cafe racer, and fitting a big single into that.

I've seen a few conversions where they took a Kawasaki can't remember year or model and stuck an XR engine in. A cafe racer should be sporty and handle well. A CB is neither, and it would be hard to find a decent one to use as a donor. They're over 30 years old, y'know Like this? htm Quick, Quck 27 mins to go yeah like that, but i need a lil more money than i got right now. well a 'cafe racer' type then with all the appropriate suspension.

thats why i want feedback. what single thumper cafe racer be a better frame to start with? a Honda GB or what????? im just thinkin this through right now. My son had one of those Hondas V3 - 2smoke that had an XT slotted in. Went like a cut cat, but had bad vibration probs, so bad the tacho needle broke off.

Im halfway in with your idea. Iv got an Aprilia RS with a dead engine, just bought a Yamaha Raptor cc single last week, trying to put them together to finish my Yamarilla Super Mono project. gonna hand build a full system, carb and dyno tune and wow! I cant wait! So yeah, go for it mate. Hmmmmm yeah iv been told I need to strengthen my engine mount points at the aluminium frame as the vibration will possibly cause fracture. Bikes with steel frames are recommended.

Very important. It would pay to do lots of reseach on engine vibrations and the like. You should also get an idea of tho the thumper vibrates and build the frame appopriatley around it, not quite as easy as bungin one in, single thumper cafe racer. TIG access is almost essential if you have an Alu frame. which you do A single downtube on the front would prob work best, I saw a guy with a honda RS based single thumper cafe racer that he had added a soingle downtube to and it seemed to work well.

Make sure the engine is kept in its sweet spot for vibes, if you plan to tune it to rev single thumper cafe racer you may have to have it re balanced to a different factor. If it has balance shafts LEAVE THEM IN. There is a good chance lots of little aprilia bits on it aren't designed to cope with the vibes and you may find that beefing up things like subframes, brackets, single thumper cafe racer mounts, fairing pieces, radiators, exhausts etc is needed - rubber mounts on certain things can help.

Have a good look at old heavy single thumper cafe racer thumpers and see how much more heavy duty things had to be on them with their big vibratey singles.

Keep it steel. All good advice cheers. Fortunately I do have TIG access. To some degree, ill wing it, if it works great and if not, well i will have learnt somethign! Sounds like a good idea for a reasoably cheap F3 racer as well.

Good luck, wish I had some welding skills myself! You haven't had a close look at a GB have ya? GB frame with an NX engine would be just lovely. I do believe this kind of bike can be made to work well on a tight track, however in most racing circumstances the original two stoke would be better in almost every way. But pissing about building somthing is much more fun and as you say you are bound to learn LOTS wether it works or not.

Good Luck, post up single thumper cafe racer pics and a built thread if you can! Nope, Coz if I my ever so humble personal opinion of course was going to build such a beast for the road I would make it out of an old Beezer or somthing that has cheap rego and can comply to the standards of the time, single thumper cafe racer. htm or somthing as a base.

The idea of good rear suspension would be the stumbling point. Each to thier own tho Certification is the biggest hurdle. Its been done so often, plenty has been written about what problems there are Hmm single thumper cafe racer have a CB plonked in a CB frame in the gargre somewhere should dig it out sometime, single thumper cafe racer.

Thoughts please Now this is what I would like, if your talkin large thumpers. Now this is what I would like, if your talkin large thumpers. Very nice. Blown backwards I see.

Front don't inspire me, and the rear shock mounts look dodgy, but I would love to press up something similar, single thumper cafe racer. Wot is it? Any links? wicked Now this is what I would like, if your talkin large thumpers. can i hear you say "animal". Quote: Originally Posted by Bonez You haven't had a close look at a GB have ya?

No, that doesn't mean it has to cost heaps - it could use a rotten old barn frame or somthing as a base. so can always fit modern shocks to an old frame though cant you? yeah im not really after a modernish frame rg i really want it to be oldschool but still able to mix with the modern stuff in the corners. Half a harley - no really. all custom - 1L from recall Notorius - was in Robb Report a year ago.

Completely 1 off. The vibration may be an issue depending on how well ballanced the single is, plus the ones with counter balance shafts and the like would be what to go for, single thumper cafe racer. Or you can also, or as well, isolate the motor like they did in the olden days with isolastic mounts. so im guessing that these mounts are rubber or similar that cushion the frame from the vibration?

wouldnt this cause the frame to be less ridgid? which is not so hot on a speedy lil beast. Yup, and yup! By varying how much you torque the mounting bolts, you can choose between handling and comfort :laugh:. ok now this may seem completely ridiculous :shit: how about a turbo'd single, i know the exhaust stroke once every four cycles isnt ideal. but lunacy is fun :laugh:, single thumper cafe racer. Just means you can't consider the engine to be a structural frame element.

Rigidity in most planes is a good thing, you'd just have to design the frame to handle it alone. In theory that might mean more overall weight, however Mr Buell managed to produce one of the best handling, lightest bikes in it's class with an isolated motor.

The man who originated the isolastic mounts worked for Norton at the time. I understand he left there when it became apparent that the future was bleak and he moved to the USA where he worked on the design of the "Rubber Glide".

Which concept is spreading or has spread throughout the whole Harley range. ok so it wouldnt quite be a cafe racer but what about this frame? htm trimmed down a little, with a big thumper in it. Powered by vBulletin® Version 4. All rights reserved.

I've been thinking about a single thumper engine. I'm thinking from a XT as then it shouldn't have a starter on it and just the kick start option.
