My Yamaha Virago Cafe Racer Inspired Build
I got the bike for free. It's not the best platform to build a Cafe but it's been done and done well.
Being my first bike and first time working on a bike for my first part I'm doing a more mild build.
Bike looked like this to start.

Got it all stripped down.

Put the rear subframe and stock seat back on when my original plans changed. I kinda liked the look of this but wasn't happy with how chunky and swoopey the seat was. It's very un-Cafe. Lowered the front 3"

Rook vinyl off the seat and started carving the seat down. I just painted it brown so it was easier to see in pics.

It still wasn't quit the shape I wanted so I used a better tool and kept carving away and got the final shape.
