    Hi All,

    New member here based in North West Sydney. Have been stalking.. I mean lurking.. no wait I mean searching and reading up a fair bit over the past month or two on the forum. Huge wealth of information on here which is exciting.

    I've been riding bikes for quite sometime now. My history of bikes looks like;
    - Honda CBR250 RR (gone)
    - Triumph Daytona 675R (gone)
    - BMW S1000RR HP4 (gone)
    - Husqvarna FE450 Enduro (current)
    - Suzuki GSX250F Across (current)

    I am currently working on the Suzuki (slowly) towards a Cafe Racer conversion. Stripping down the bike is fast underway, plenty of ideas being put down on paper and appropriate planning. Opinions and advise are encouraged and welcomed :D
    Looking at searching for a GSX400 Tank for the conversion. Anyone on here done a Across Conversion to Cafe and have any advise on a practical tank or any other general advise?

    I've attached some pictures of the boy and I working on the bike so far (might need to sit him down and have a talk about the right tool for the job haha).

    Cheers,
    Joey
