You should get a motorbike, look at your grin!

Car's still looking awesome, can't wait to see the mods, Johnny Boy.

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

That's Blair's MOTO GUZZI Cafe Racer he just finished, fits me really nice

I'll be doing the suspension first next week, then start the front end.
RBS is not going to die yet.

Thanks Tony, also for posting "RBS to young to die" video on PFF.

I'm still jealous about all the right stuff on your chopper, love the RX8 mirrors

John what does your suspension front and back consist of ?

The stance is perfect.

Not for me, RBS is going to be dropped 1" all around, also fenders trimmed for more travel.

What RBS has now...
Rear: WCF coil over kit 300lb 8" springs with KYBs, (with the 3800SC it bottoms out), will be going with 400lb 7" springs.
Front: 1-1/2" lower springs (not cut) with KYBs, I'll keep that as is for now.

STAY TUNED...
Next week I'll be doing the suspension (on a Budget) step by step with detailed pics of what not to do

Today dropped by for a Latte and a muffin at Euphoria Chocolates after visiting went off to the
wrecking yard and found windshield and frame for RBS ( she'll be happy about that).



Another Cafe Racer Blair built, this ons really fits me nice (might be thinking of building one)

That would be pretty damn awesome. Give RBS a little two-wheeled sister to play with.

As for dropping the car more... Can you? It already sits so low, I'd have assumed you're rather close to the bumpstops now.

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Yes, RBS Cafe Racer chopped a bit lower and all blacked out !

Indeed it is, (just dropping one more inch) I'll be raising front and rear bump stops.

Pfft, "trying" to look cool. I exude awesomeness. When I get up in the morning, the day gets a little bit brighter for everyone.

Well, let us know when you do go to do the modifications, I'm sure plenty of us would love to help, Johnny Boy.

Yeah, I never caught that the first time around.

For what it's worth, the only time I've ever come close to flipping a vehicle was with my truck... Almost in to my neighbor's house.

The RBS-2 future ride...

A little tweaking on rocker panels, the rear was looking way to boxy and heavy so Clynt and I angled panel
with a curl at end in black not to look that bulky

Just saw the pics...nice Guzzi (among other things).

My old man and I share a '79 Eldorado bored to 1000cc and 5 speed. Wicked ride.
