Hey! if you're here that means you're interested in the build and the costs behind it. I've always preached that these café racers are cost effective, and hopefully this helps demonstrate that! Of course, everything here can also be done much cheaper or differently if you're more experience and have gone through this whole process. I'd also like to be completely transparent and say that the Cognito Moto parts were given to me for free as a sponsorship deal, which I am very very thankful for as I was going to buy themself anyway. Huge shoutout to Cognito Moto! The paint job should have also been around $300, but it was done very poorly (sanding marks in base, dust and debris in the clear) so it ended up being free of charge. Another huge shoutout and thank you to Andy Neustifer, who was a large help in listening to my issues and helping come up with solutions! And of course, thank you to all my supporters for being there with me every step along the way, it means more than you know :) check out my website fisnky.com for café inspired merch, as well as premade automotive detailing kits!
