Those bikes sound soooo good!
I’m so glad that someone seems to realise just what a Cafe Racer is, and where it originated from, there are alot of Harleys being “converted” into Cafe Racer’s, and they really do look nothing like a real Cafe Racer.
Yeh, it’s getting weird out there. I try not to label my bikes.
lovely exhaust note mate!
Beautiful Mate,sounds sweet too, lookin for a xs650 at the moment to do something similar to yours. What tank did you use, is it a Roadster one?
That’s just the good ol Special tank
amen to that
What do you consider “traditional”?
i have a kz440 that i want to Cafe…
Bare bones, spokes, not a lot of flash.
Great bike and color! Im working on my 1980 xs400 special II right now. It needs A LOT of work to get going, but its worth it.
Props to your Yami build, most think only a Triumph or a Honda makes a good cafe. Way to prove’m wrong m8. Sounds sweet as well.
I’m posting this for a friend, who wnats to comment but doesn’t have a Youtube account:
How did you get your XS to sound like that?
It’s just straight pipes (removed baffle) and pod filters. Actually this video was taken when the baffles were still in.
Dude ok straight pipes with baffles but what mufflers? Commandos?
Very very sweet. I am looking for a nice exhaust that will slip onto the original header. The header alone is to loud for my style. Way cool
keep the rubber side down.
