You are right about my googling cafe racers and learning more about them.
Since you have decided to try out the original pipes, let me know if you still want that exhaust wrap. If one could find the same bandage in carbon fibre material (not the sticker stuff but the real deal), it would look just deadly!! Have you worked out how to get the bike down stairs?
You are welcome to visit me in Islamabad. In fact you will be my guest. Hope to see you whenever you think the cafe racer is ready for a long ride.
