That's an absolutely beautiful "combination" that you have created, no need to mess with in IMHO. People used to run with a 100lb of ballast in the sidecar to prevent it lifting. Being British myself, we see cafe racers as being like the Norvin in your later pictures, in which case all you need to do is buy a Triumph Thruxton, and you are good to go !

[@johnauvin]

Gren - Thanks for the feedback. All good pointers. Reluctant to add the 100 lbs due to the extra weight that the bike has to "push". But, correct, it will help with the "lift". As to the issue, what is a Cafe Racer ... it's my understanding that back in the 50's and 60's Cafe Racers were simply light weight motorcycles ... not a lot of formal modifications.

Sidecar Bobber yeah .

Hei Trevor. Thanks.

Mate that outfit is so tastefully done - it's gorgeous. We can get bored with the same bike over time but if you want a cafe racer I'd be inclined to keep your outfit as is, and maybe buy a cheap Thruxton to play with and see how you like it. Best wishes 👍

Derek: Thanks ! I'm starting to see a trend in the feedback that I have received, similar to your comment. - Maybe, I start saving coins in my piggy-bank and look for another bike ... need to make more room in the garage :-)

Don't muck up a good looking and good riding rig !

Hi Mac Tiger: Thanks for the feedback. I'm still in the "thinking about it" phase.
