My brother and I would like to build a cb550 cafe racer this summer when we both have time. I know a doner bike will run about a grand, give or take based on condition. A fiberglass tank/seat combo about another grand. Frame will need modifying, hopefully only minor engine work, powdercoat, paint, new electrics, handlbars, etc..
My motorcycle experience is quite limited but what kind of budget should be allotted for this type of project...done right. I know they sky is the limit but lets be practical. Are these cafe bikes $5K-$7K projects? $8K-$10K? If he can't commit I will be in this alone, which is fine. Thanks for the help
Shooting for something like this. I have a feeling I will get a lot of "it depends on what you want or what you do it it" comments so maybe use this picture as a reference as the final product.
