anyone seen these in the flesh? they certainly look intresting http://trx850caferacer.files.wordpress. ... g_9247.jpg

I can appreciate it, but not my cup of tea.

Yes, a mate sent an Aussie magazine with this bike as a feature.
tbh I've seen better 'cafe-racer' TRX's. I think it's the seat that is just not quite right ... too long.

I don't think it works as a cafe racer, but then I haven't seen it in the flesh...

He's selling the kit for about $1500 AUD, which is not too bad if it your thing.

I appreciate the work and time that's gone into it, but the fairing and seat don't work with the tank, and to be honest you'd be better off throwing the money at the suspension on a standard TRX rather than the bodywork. That said, I'm going to try a similar thing with an FZR400 3TJ race fairing on my bike, and try and keep it looking Japanese and vaguely TRX-shaped but with slimmed down bodywork. Kind of like a squarer Buell Firebolt
