HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !!!!!
Wow! Take a look at this great Shift knob.
This little creation is an awesome piece and if you are into Cafe Racers in general, well you can use this in your car, to show people what turns your dial.
The Skull and helmet comes all polished in Chrome and is a nice weight, and weighs in at almost a pound alone, but check all the cool detail out on this.
It has cool racing goggles too and screams Nostalgia. I am going to use one in our vehicle and this makes a super cool gift to the most avid motor head.
I really dig this shifter and it comes complete with the mounting hardware, so you can pretty much fir this to anything, especially if you have a Jockey shift.
These are available from the 1st of January and you can purchase them on here under the parts page.
Fit this on your Motorcycle, Hot Rod, Classic cruiser or Custom ride, as this really will grab peoples eyes.
We shall be adding more parts at the start of the year, so keep checking back daily for a Happy New Year !!!!
As you know, I have been building Cafe Racers since the late 1970’s and the good old CB750 has been a great platform as an affordable classic that can be turned into a snarling , Tarmac eating Cafe Racer machine.
But, even though the bike does have a disc brake set up, it leaves a little to be desired when you grab a handful to stop rather quickly and fades like a water color painting in the desert sun.
So, over the last few months, we have been working on different caliper set ups, and have now made a rally cool front brake assembly that has a Wilwood 4 pot brake caliper that will stop you faster than a red light outside a police station.
This is a great set up and am almost there, we used a 1974 CB750 K model as the main model and fork set ups are for the 73-76K series and this is a complete kit to bolt to your forks.
The set up here is on an old rusty bike and we haven’t really polished this caliper yet as this is all in the set up stage, but will be available in the next couple of weeks and will be polished or chromed, the bracket will be fully polished as that’s aluminum too.
This will be a direct bolt-on replacement for your CB750 HONDA S.O.H.C. K model.
Now, I have tried this set up and bloody hell, it stops so fast, compared to the original brake caliper, Wilwood makes great brakes and this 4 pot will stop on a Dime, so be careful!!!!
Price? Well, right now I am trying to cost this all out, as I shall be using braided hose brake lines and all the hardware in stainless steel too, but I will use this set up for sure.
Keep checking back as I am going to try this set up on a machine I am building for a customer in Korea and this will be a great set up for that Cafe Racer Honda.
I will be adding more photo’s, so you can see this and maybe later on a video, so you can see how to fit this great New brake set up for your ride.
Stay tuned…………………………

Hello Fellow Cafe Racer and Hot Rod enthusiasts etc.
I have 2 weeks away in my homeland for a well earned rest and to meet family and friends, I also popped into see my mate at the Ace ( Mark Wilsmore) and a buddy of mine I haven’t seen in over 20 years, so a great time I had and now look forward to working harder, to bring you way more parts and clothing etc.
Turn your sound up and listen to just a small range of tunes that float my boat.
I was totally blown away by this and wanted to share this with you.
Hey there everyone
I am in the UK visiting friends and family and on Friday i shall be popping into the Ace cafe to see Mark Wilsmore and some of my mates I haven t seen in 20 years, so a great time for me to go.
The shop is in the hands of my staff back in Orange and running smoothly, which is a nice feeling etc, so you can order all the parts you need on the website and over the phone.
But- if any of you will be at the Ace Cafe this Friday 21st December, I shall be there and will be great to see some of you and share a beer or two.
