One of the most difficult aspects of building a Cafe Racer or custom motorcycle can be sourcing cool custom parts. You can spend hours if not days trawling the internet to find a part that satisfies your own unique aesthetic. Some time ago I ran a series of features about 'finding parts for your...

Someone who knows exactly what they want and isn't afraid to micro-manage you to make sure they get it; someone who is about a likely... 

I'm often surprised by the motorcycles that become popular donors for custom builds. Take for example Honda's 'Plastic Maggot' CX500, BMW's 'Flying Brick' K100 or Yamaha's 'Vanilla' Virago. It seems that despite their rather average stock appearance and similarly average performance they've...
