New Rubber for the front. Also I sanded the rim back to metal but I decided to leave the spokes black.

New matching rim and rubber for the rear.

Completed look. Still a lot more work to do.

The plan for this build was to see how cheaply I could build a nice looking cafe. This is because I am a student in college at the moment and cash is at a minimum. I am now in the process of building my rear fender which will house a smoke led taillight with built in blinkers from a kawasaki ninja.

So far build cost......
Bike......................$250
Tires.....................$ 90
Headlight...............$ 25
Taillight..................$ 45
Fiberglass
Foam
Bondo...................$ 25

Total.....................$435

Block of foam

sculpted to shape

Fiberglass Fender with beginning stages of bondo
