Hey guys,

Got back from Afghanistan a week ago and managed to slap together my cafe racer, its the blue collar bobbers kit, got it painted locally and put woodcraft risers and the buell footpegs on it, as well as a new rear tire to match the one included in the kit and the BCB dogbones.

Once I get settled down I'll take some better pictures, but I think it turned out pretty well.

Hahahahahah, I was just joking around Mike but thanks for turning the image. With such a beautiful machine in the pic, it just didn't seem right to have it sideways. :thumbup:

Also, I'm 6'5" and between the new seat position, the lowered pegs, and the woodcraft lowered risers with the extra long bars, it stretches the riding position out far enough to where I don't look like a gorilla ****ing a walnut down the road any more. So all in all, I am WAY more pleased with this thing than I actually expected to be, I wanted a fun project for when I returned home and this definitely fits the bill

Not any more. Picture was taken before I replaced it and put the dog bones on, I will have to take new pics

Probably the best executed cafe 250 I've seen yet. Nice and proportional.

Other than the bar end mirrors, which I never liked, the rest look good.

Its Blue Collar Bobber's bezel that uses the stock gauges. They won't sell it by itself though.
