    Welcome, you won't find a lot of cafe/bobber etc fans here, but we will do our best to bite out tongues.

    Haha.. its all good Rex, there are some very stylish and practical Bobber / Cafe racer bikes out there... and besides... the bike is yours and you should build what you want... .. you will find this to probably be the best forum on the interwebs... while some of us prefer to keep bikes reasonably original there is always plenty of assistance to be had from some very intelligent and skilled people on here...

    Welcome.
    What year and model AG100? I have a 1975 'B' model that i am looking for parts for.
    Curious as to why use an AG100 for your cafe project.

    Hi Murdo

    I believe its a 1973, there's quite a few things missing, thought id make a scrambler or similar out of it as its probably easier than trying to source parts to restore it back to its full glory.
