Just got it firing!
Hey Guys,
I have just sold my last two bikes and am looking at a new project.
Nothing too serious, just a slightly custom, cafe racer-esque V7..
I don't really like the factory V7 racer, and am after something
more personal and gritty.
The closest thing I could find to what I am trying to do, would be:

The list of things I would like to do:
* Ohlins rear suspension with external reservoir
* Clip on bars
* Tidy tail
* Custom exhaust (wrapped)
* Racer Wheels
My questions are:
* Would I be best to start with a cafe and build from there?
* I love the look of the factory racer seat, but really would like to be able to pillion,
is the seat long enough to do this? I don't want to be swapping seats over..
* What is the length of the rear shock? I need to find the Ohlins equivalent
* Are the racer wheels readily available? Or are there other after market alternatives?
Early days yet guys, but thought i'd open it up for discussion
Cheers
