A company in Portugal called "it RoCkS" put together this beauty weighing in at 440 lbs. A big block 1350 FJ would have been even more tasty.. Enjoy!

Shame about the seat.
These people who make up this fookin' rubbish never ride the bikes they dream up.
FOOK 'EM IT'S SHITE.

Very nice Pat. Granted the seat could be a little more comfortable but hey, its a custom cafe bike. I would like to hear it run .  :lol: :lol:

I bet Corbin or Sargent could make a decent seat for that in short order.

Yea, that seat needs some thought. Those pipes are stupid.
I don't know why they ran the oil cooler lines the way they did, why not run those oil lines behind the head pipes??...little details like that bug me.

Also, I think the front end is a bit light. The lower triple clamp and non adjustable USDs would have to be changed.

I like what Norton did with their Cafe Commando, that's a beefy tostdada front end:

I noted that as well, plus it really looks like they are close to if not touching the header tube.

It looks to me that the cooler is too wide for them to run between the pipes so they had to come to the center before going to the engine.

Flat black or polished????
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

If that is a question for me, they new fittings are black anodized.

You can see one installed in the description, the second picture I believe.

Just poking some fun at Father Pat and his addiction to polished/shiny things.... No question ever on RPM products, top notch on every product on my FJ supplied by you Randy...

I can get clear anodiozed fittings as well if Pat really wants them.
