Cafe Racer Legale
Hello everyone, even for me is the desire to turn the bike into a café racer, given the thousand rules (so too exaggerated) to tickle, I still have a question, I want a vintage bike, about 30 years registered fmi x po do Billo and reduced insurance, I modify it and if necessary I do rehomolog (if I can), and feasible or would you no longer enter into a discourse of the historical movement?! . Thank you ciai hello Hello everyone, I am thinking of the modifications made to a k100rt: removal of the fuselage, removal of the stern, saddle and handlebars new (no modifications of the frame). Personally, I think most of the changes do not meet the standard, but the number of modified bikes in Milan makes me doubt. How is it possible that you see modified motorcycles on every street corner and that in the Isola district of Milan, several shops/workshops of modified motorcycles, café racers, scramblers were born? Soon I will enter one of these stores to ask for explanations. What worries me the most is that I don`t have accident insurance coverage, and no insurance could help me fully understand the problem. Happy Easter to all. Thank you very much for the very interesting article, the problem of homologations has in fact always been my main obstacle in the construction of my dream and by the way I wanted to ask you for advice if possible, I have an Italian motorcycle from 2003 and homologated in Italy, now I have moved to the UK for some time, I believe I could get around the obstacle, by creating my Café Racer and re-homologiere in the UK or a vehicle purchased in Italy remains Italian forever, with the following at the level of legislation? Best wishes! ) Benedetto Salve, these days I have my Café Racer in preparation, basically we are making aesthetic changes, but we have renewed the saddle and changed the handlebars. Do you think he will have to take sanctions for that? Thank you, Fabio. Hi, I have a vintage bike and I would like to turn it into Café Racer, the main change I need to make and at the height of the back with a lower suspension and lower saddle I would go to have blood circulation problems? I specify that the registration certificate does not indicate the height of the bike, thank you.
What a find! So much view on most of those who have the Café Racer so fighetti and use it to take selfies so as not to walk the streets, it was different times. Modern rockers are street geeks. Hello, I wanted to ask a question without knowing if it had already been asked. I found the ad of a café racer in Germany, which for a few strokes of luck is like the project I wanted to realize, but for obvious Italian bureaucratic reasons, I decided not to realize it myself. However, I am about to buy, but doubts have arisen. If I register the above custom from Germany to Italy and drive with it, can I make a fuss or am I “completely” free to move around without being able to pay fines or possibly withdraw the vehicle? I hope I have been clear about my dilemma. Thanks in advance Luca • Selle: I`ll be honest, I never understood if it is possible to replace it with a lower saddle. In my research, however, I understood that the removal of some padding is “tolerated” and that the manipulations are hardly sustainable. Perhaps it would also be allowed to replace the saddle with one of the other models of the same series (for example the saddle of the Guzzi Digno Cross with one of the Dingo GT), but again, I have doubts. However, I`ve always had the strange feeling of replacing the saddle with a completely different saddle and maybe in a pure café racer style.
Hello Gio I know that 1 year has passed since this post, but I wanted to ask you how you managed to overcome these laws, because I would be interested, given my great passion for café racers and my future project. I wanted to mount half a handlebar, lower the shock absorbers and change the color of the tank. One question. I modify my Café Racer, I want to take off, change the saddle and handlebars. Arrows and lights. I buy everything that is homologated and do not make any changes to the frame. Will I have any problems? Hi Gio, forgive me, but these days I had a problem and couldn`t approve the message. So, I`m sorry if I`m not going to be exhaustive, but personally I gave up my dreams of Café Racer and then I stopped thinking about how to solve problems like that of revision, so I do a completely different job. But that`s how I think about it. First, we divide the requests. Hello, I own a BMW R80RT and I recently made the decision to modify café Racer.
The main changes I want to make are: remove the shell, replace the saddle, lights and arrows (with approved parts) and give a general paint, threaten me with a sanction? or since these are aesthetic changes, do I manage the preparation smoothly`?? Bungiorno, what are the steps for those who, like me, have made a Café Racer and would like to take a leisurely stroll? Hello, my name is Giuseppe. I wanted to ask a question that has already been addressed, but since I am dealing with this project, I need a little security. I`m thinking of turning a Honda cb400n into a Café Racer, OK? Then remove the trim, replace and not (eliminate) the headlights and service lights always repaint with original colors and finally replace the handlebar with a half handlebar. Can I do this? because I`ve seen motorcycles for sale with even the ASI registration, and then I`ve read that the changes are not recognized. Help I don`t understand anything. On Wednesdays, I go to one of them in Pavia, if and in the order he seems, I take him home and put him to work. I hope to find everything soon. That`s why I trust my mechanic friend. I will not fail to send you the photos, hoping that it will come with its own why, although it is not a café racer, 70s, but I would say more than a special 2000.
We are updating, hello good evening. The coloring of the mirror chrome chain is therefore legally allowed. 2. The Regulation shall lay down the design, functional characteristics and equipment which may be modified only after the documentation required by that Regulation has been submitted. The procedures for verifying and updating the registration certificate are also defined. Hello, I would like to ask you if it is allowed to drive in a coffee race with an original frame, engine, wheels, but with a rear and a non-original tank. Thank you in advance Hello. Hello Roberto, I believe that to pass the “legal” revision, there are no roads except those mentioned above (restoration of the vehicle, homologation abroad, etc.). “Alternative” solutions are certainly available (I see a lot of modified bikes running smoothly). The only advice I can give you is to read the forums dedicated to the subject on the Internet. However, personally, I cannot help you. Marking (e) wheelbases: the distance between the axle of a front wheel and the axle of the rear wheel on the same side; Hello Giuseppe, assuming that by vintage motorcycle you mean a bike with more than 20 years and not a bike registered with the IWF or any other association, I would say that you certainly need to do more research.
While it is true that the height of the motorcycle is not indicated on the registration certificate, it is also true that when manufacturers continue to approve the vehicle, they deposit the `approval card`, on which, inter alia, the dimensions of the vehicle are indicated. Many maps do not show the heights of the back, but for some models they can be found. Now, on the Internet, you can recover everything and so I think you won`t have much trouble finding this from your bike and performing this check. Having said that, I must admit that I have a hard time answering you, but let`s try to think about it together. We assume that there are no reference levels on the approval form and that in any case a thorough examination can only take place in the event of a major accident (we make debts of course avoid!!). Let us therefore analyse separately the changes you wish to make: • Suspensions: they are one of the elements covered by Annex V – Article 227 of the CoS Regulation and, in particular, by Chapter C – Active safety, point (p). Calibration is not in contradiction with Art. 78 of the CoS, or in any case, I ask someone to check the conformity with the originals of the time, but the replacement by another model always changes the structure, and in this case, I think it falls under the annex above and is therefore illegal.
However, one thing that I had been reminded of in the motorcycle club, namely that for the 50 cc, some manufacturers also used different suspensions depending on the production of the moment, so that if you wanted to, you could also check this aspect and find more for your vehicle. Subject: MOTOR VEHICLES – REPLACEMENT OF THE SILENCING SYSTEM “Numerous reports have been received from users on the problem of replacing the exhaust system of motor vehicles. Some of them also concern, inter alia, the sanctions imposed by the police in the event of “non-originality” established of the device in question on the basis of art.
