Cafe Racer Headlight Bracket
For all of you that have converted a Pregen into a Cafe Racer. What headlight bracket did you use.
I've tried 2 different ones from Amazon and neither fits right. From what I can tell I should have 36mm forks on the bike. The two I tried are supposed to fit a size range in that and they don't even come close to fitting. I'm finding clamps for 35mm, 39mm, and 41mm. But nothing for 36mm. |

I've been toying with the idea, I've been looking at the Blue Collar Bobbers kit. I just need another Ninjette, I'm NOT cutting up SERENITY.
They offer the kit in separate parts, you might want to drop them an e-mail.

Unlike their other kits, they do not offer th Blue Collar Bobber in parts or sub kits. It is all or nothing. I did contact them, they did give me a 10% discount code if I want to order the kit. But for me there are a couple of problems with their kit. I want to maintain the possibility of carrying a passenger, so I don't want there seat frame or seat, I also don't want their front tire, and my tank has already had body work to fill in the fairing depression, so I don't need their tank panels. I'm also a cheap SOB and I can't get past the fact that the money they are asking for that kit is about $100 less than I paid for all four of my ninjettes. |

Then you can make it your self. It is just flat steel or aluminum. Given the to choice. Fork or frame. I would rather have the headlight attached to the frame.
