This came up WTF indeed! :shock:
Not sure it's the right bike to convert into a Cafe racer.

Have a look on Ebay for more details...
You just know that the owner of that has seen too many Honda Dominator cafe racers!

I had an RRW/X which is what that once was. The top bracing on the swing arm is stock, who knows why they felt it needed more bracing on the bottom.

A rigid braced swing arm makes the handling 100% better.

Twice as much bracing therefore makes the handling 200% better!

To be fair, it's actually nicely done (for an NTV), it's more the fact it's been done as a Vincent Homage that gets me.

Blundering about trying not to make too much of a hash of things.
