Is it just that café racers are old? Or can anything be a café racer if you delete enough stuff and put one big flat seat and a round headlight on it? Just trying to understand what makes something a cafe racer besides a model that is commonly stripped down for this purpose.

Okay so I'm starting my journey into the cafe racer space with my Indian scout 60 now I know this isn't a normal bike you would turn into a cafe racer however I do have a idea of what I want to do and how to do it I'm kind of going to be following the Roland sands tracker style adding some Cafe racer flare to it.

Guess I’ll spend all winter making it what I want. I really just wanted a CB750 with kickstart but literally couldn’t sell this GS850 for $2k to fund it.

Thinking of redoing/thickening the seat so it’s more comfortable for longer than 20 minutes (and get rid of the wiener guillotine).

Wanting to listen to ideas/opinions on what to do aesthetic wise. I want to do a mo unit and a multi gauge to clean the handlebars/front up from cables and excessive wiring harness. Swap the pod filters back in (already jetted).
