And If I don't know the answer or have the part, I'll find it!
**NEW STUFF Happenins!**
Hey everybody, Thanks for visiting my site. I've had a rocky road of things so far, but
things are turning around for the better as of the second week of August. Parts shortages, supplier mishaps, shipping problems, unforeseen power outages and generally being let down by a lot of folk led me to 2 choices. Give up on this endeavor or get some help with organization and blow it up.
I chose the latter. I've got a new email set up that WILL be answered in a timely manner.
Got some new suppliers and some new products. Finally got a handle on the shopping cart problems and some help fixing them. Expect to see a MUCH larger parts selection in the next couple of weeks with buttons that work and shipping costs corrected.
I apologize for the backorders and shortages thus far if you have been affected. Please bear with us and we will get all problems handled in short order.
**Big Announcement!!**
We're putting together a new site SuperbikeClassics.com that caters to ALL the Original Hot Bikes from the 70's and Early 80's. KZ, CB, GS and the V45/65 bike its getting covered here.
Peep the new logo and Go Check it Out!

Back to Regularly scheduled programming:
You may notice from the title we like Cafe' Racers round here. Not that we don't dig a cherry 78, a clean
bobber or even wild customs but there's something
about Clubmans and rear sets that really brings a twinkle
to the eye. And honestly, fom the sweet seat cowl to
the cafe style pinched tank Yamaha XS Standard model
bikes beg to be given the full treatment. So you may
notice(if you haven't already) there are all kinds
of Cafe Racers in the pics above and sprinkled around.
I Love my Yamahas above all but a sweet Triumph,
Norton or Vincent Cafe' really turns my crank too.
If you love black leather, Rock and Roll and draggin
pegs then you gotta know the ACE CAFE is where it all started
. Keep an eye out for flycreens, my own rearsets, Clubmans
and loads more Killer Cafe' parts coming
down the road in the future.
So Thanks for dropping by and visiting us. Please write
with comments, questions, derisions, blasphemy, all
out non-sense or bright ideas anytime. We are just getting started at this as some of the pages
will atest. Bear with us as we get it together but definitely
look around. Some of the pages are comin together pretty
good. The How-To page is shaping up and the parts page
is spilling over about now. Still I've got a lot of work to do.

concerning XS History, Parts & Services, Cafe Racers & XS Pics, Resources, How-To's, Links and general

Cafe Racers:The Beginnings
For those who Don't Know; A Café racer is a type of
motorcycle as well as a type of motorcyclist and to
take it to the abstract, a life-style. Tracing the origins
takes us back to 1950's Britain and the cafe's that sprung
up along the new North Circular Road around London,
the most famous of which was the legendary Ace Cafe'.
