Viola: How to Build a Cafe Racer

Taking the guidelines from the Bike EXIF post: http://www.bikeexif.com/build-cafe-racer


The Foundation: her natural lines aren't that bad, but I already see I need to drop the headlight to get it more in line with the tank.



The Cut-Off Point: her tail hangs out a bit too far.



The Height Limit: all good here.



The Bone Line: again, seems like the headlight sits too high.



Visual Weight: kind of tricky with the 90cc bikes.  Since the engine is so small, there's a lot of empty space under the tank that you can't really do much with.



The Swoop: just getting an idea of where the cowl would need to fall.



The Main Angles: definitely not parallel, but it would be a big job to change that.



Fork Distance: already very "tucked".
