Hand crafted aluminum cafe racer parts. Just about everything we build is one of a kind, formed by hand to fit your bike the way it should. If you like something you see here, or have a design in mind, we will build which ever it is. These parts are made mostly from 6061 and 1100 series aluminum, 16 gauge - 14 gauge. Our parts are fully TIG welded, shaped with a beating bag, plannishing hammer and an English wheel. This is the way it was done when cafe racers were born, so keep the craft of hand formed metal alive and dont settle for a fiberglass knock off. Here are some examles of our work
