First post! Cheesy

Great job on the bike!

Can't remember how or where I came across your bike (this CS-1) on the internet, but this appears to be exactly what I'm looking for. So my research lead me to this forum.

I currently own an 04 Yamaha FZ6 (my first street bike, bought new, now with over 11k fun filled miles) and have decided to (hopefully) replace it with a 2011+ Triumph Daytona 675 some day.

But I still desire a simply built, modifiable, air cooled, minimalistic (thumper), very light weight, easy to work on, cafe racer-style bike. Until now I couldn't find a potential platform that was appealing.

I'm still in the research and planning stage. So unless I come across info that suggests otherwise, I'll most likely find a used 2002+ S40 and do the mods myself using your parts/kit. I'll probably be in touch.

this is AWESOME!!!!! should make this into a kit and sell it!!

did you have to cut the frame or weld anything?? cause that's what stops me from trying any "serious" mods, that and I need to find a deal on a savage to build from. and some real income to finance the whole thing . . . anyway, GREAT BUILD!!! Cheesy

Just found out it was from a kit.I tell ya you cant get away with anything around here ,someone will nail you.

I like the mid controls, too. Could you stand to snap a few pics of that work, both sides?

Sure, here's some more pics of the rearset bracket:

Casey, I have always appreciated understated improvement on any vehicle. Like when you get a good haircut--it doesn't look like it's been cut. THIS is GREAT! It flows so smoothly that you aren't going to get the credit you deserve. You made it look easy. As one who hates the big solid chrome customs, this one is balanced perfectly for me. I just printed it out to hang on my shop wall. You done good. Boofer

Guys, we had to start taking pre-orders for the kits since our article in Cycle World magazine came out this past weekend. It's a refundable $99 pre-order that gets your name on the list. Complete kits include everything you need to build the cafe racer. Full details are on the website: www.rycamotors.com

Power to the Savages!

what tires would you use if you could? Grin

I dunno, depending on what fit, maybe Metzeler Sportec M3s or Michelin Pilot Powers.

I don't see actual measurements for these tires, but if they are less than 25.5" and 150 as max width, they might fit with a little finess.
130/90-16's fit fine, a 150/60 or 70-17 may fit. But I don't think you'll get max use of the increadible lean angles.

I saw that on the shelf and had to buy the mag; got excited over seeing the article up front on the first page other than ads.
Congrat's ....what great news !
This should give the Savage/S40 reputation a nice boost

So you are getting a significant response from this ? heavy response ?
