I can't make my mind up, on the surface it looks ok, but it seems a horrible thing to do to an RD500.

How can you make a cafe racer from a sports bike?

[Yorick]

It needs the fairing.

High bars are 'fighter it. Camo trousers optional.

Remove fairing, Install middle aged hipster

It's a no from me, it'd look better with replica OW31 bodywork

Camo trousers optional.

That look makes me want to sell my LC.
Fat bloke in camo trousers with his wallet attached to his pants on a chain.

I don't know what it is, but 80's bikes seem to attract them.

It will run like a dog without the tuned airbox and with the bellmouth hanging out in the breeze.

It'd look stupider with the airboxes though

I assume this is the new thing.

A few years ago you crashed a sports bike so then you stick Renthals on it and a couple of teeny front lights and call it a street fighter to sell to a bloke with camo trooz and a Simpson Bandit helmet.

Now we stick a round headlight and clip ons and hack the seat unit about to make it a single seater and sell it to a bearded bloke with roll up jeans and a Bell full face helmet from the 1980's with studs where the visor used to fasten

Not if it was covered up with a fairing.
