Caf\u00e9 racers are hugely popular, amongst riders and none-riders alike. Behind the caf\u00e9 racer aesthetic is the DIY garage work, chopping and grinding to make a stock machine something unique and custom. Achieving this look on a bike can be tough, be it lack of expertise, tools, space or money. You may even have a bike that you may not feel fits the bill for being caf\u00e9\u2019d up. Well worry not, we\u2019ve found an easy way to convert any bike into the caf\u00e9 look easily and cheaply.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What most don\u2019t know, caf\u00e9 racers are only 50% about the actual bike, and even then a working one isn\u2019t necessary. It\u2019s about the attitude, the look, and most importantly, the look. You need to be able to walk the streets and have people think \u201cNow there\u2019s someone that knows how to use an angle grinder\u201d. And all this can be accomplished with a simple modification of what you wear, how you act, and a few minor changes to your motorcycle of choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

A cost effective and simple way to add some custom chic to your ride is simply add a bit of sticky tape to your motorcycle\u2019s headlight. Sticky tape was introduced onto racing bike headlights back in the day to keep shards of the brittle glass from breaking off and being strewn about the track. This trademark \u2018X\u2019 on a motorcycle\u2019s headlight sure enough became a look that authenticated part of the caf\u00e9 racer style. We took the time to analyse and explain some of the different methods used in this simple, yet powerfully effective way to customise your bike.<\/span><\/p>\n
