New Feature on the Benjie’s Cafe Racer Site

Leave a comment I was surfing around tonight, and I noticed that the Benjie’s Cafe Racer site has a new feature: customer bikes. This is kinda cool, because it shows a couple of customer bikes that are a BCR seat with a stock tank (something a lot of us might actually do). Click on the pictures below to visit the BCR page that hosts the customer bikes. Props to Benjie and the cool bikes coming out of his shop!

Comments (3) I’ve written about the Benjie’s Cafe Racer shop a couple of times before, so it’s nice to see a bike using BCR parts floating around on the web. This particular machine is up for auction on eBay.
The CB550 is quite a nice bike as is. But this has been built up to really look the part of a cafe racer. The BCR tank and seat are what really make this bike shine. It does need two things, though: move the bars to a better position (they appear to be mounted upside-down (do clubmans come flat or with a small amount of downward angle?) and then rotated upwards), and put some rear-sets on that thing. Then this would be a top-notch cafe racer…
Benjie’s Café Racer – Black Whale

Leave a comment Was surfing around this morning, and I went to the Benjie’s Cafe Racer. Clicking through the site, I found this bike, and I thought it was a great example of a Honda CB750 cafe racer. The only thing missing is rear-sets. Lots of Benjie’s bikes seem to be lacking rear-sets, even though the rest of the build is so awesome.
Favorites about this bike are the paint job (love the matte black with red stripe and wheels), the tank and seat (wish I could buy that for my Sportster), and the classic cafe look he builds into all of his bikes.
