It's begun...

A Yamaha XS650 Cafe Racer Blog Post

So I finally scrapped up enough cash to grab a new Cafe style seat.  It's a custom made, fiberglass seat that comes from a fella in Bangkok, Thailand.  He goes my the name 'Hellboy'.  It should arrive in a few weeks, but I just hope my seat actually shows up...

This is just step one in what will be many steps to make this XS a full out cafe racer.  Hellboy also makes custom cafe racer fairings.  I'm told they won't be available untill the end of February, but once they are ready to go you can count on one of these fairings being sent my way. 

Step 1 of the XS Cafe Racer:

Here is Hellboys custom Cafe style fairing, not available till end of Feb.  Once installed with the seat, the XS will look like a true Cafe Racer.

This is an XS650 with both the fairing and the seat installed.
