A Café Racer isn’t just a motorcycle, it’s a statement. Stripped-down, lightweight, and built for speed, these machines are all about performance and style. Whether you’re starting from scratch or fine-tuning an existing build, the right café racer parts make all the difference.
A stock bike won’t cut it. If you want that low, aggressive stance, improved handling, and a custom finish that stands out, upgrading with precision-built café racer components is the way to go.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes a motorcycle a café racer?
A café racer is a stripped-down, lightweight motorcycle built for speed and agility. Key features include clip-on handlebars, a low-profile seat, rear-set foot controls, and a minimalist design inspired by 1960s race bikes.
2. What are the must-have parts for building a café racer?
To get that classic café racer look and feel, you’ll need clip-on handlebars, a custom seat, a shorter rear fender, lightweight bodywork, and a performance exhaust system for that aggressive sound.
3. Do café racer parts improve performance or just change the look?
Both. Clip-on handlebars improve aerodynamics, rear-set foot controls enhance riding position, and lightweight parts reduce overall weight, making the bike faster and more responsive.
4. Are your café racer parts universal or model-specific?
A few of our café racer parts are designed for universal fitment, but many components, like front fenders and exhaust systems, are made for specific models. Contact us if you need help finding the right fit.
5. Can I convert any motorcycle into a café racer?
Yes, but some bikes are better suited for conversion than others. Classic BMW, Honda CB-series, Yamaha XS, and Kawasaki KZ models are popular choices for café racer builds. However, if you check out our custom bikes, you'll see that even a Honda VT1100 Shadow can serve as a perfect base for a café racer.
6. What’s the best way to install café racer parts?
Most parts, like handlebars, front fenders and seats, are straightforward bolt-on upgrades, but some modifications, such as custom welding for subframes or suspension adjustments, may require professional installation. If you need any advice, please feel free to contact us!
No matter if you're starting fresh or refining the details, the right components will take your café racer to the next level.
