Overview
What's old is new again, and the newest trend on the block is Caf Racers. Written by well-known motorcycle and automotive author Doug Mitchel, How to Build a Caf Racer starts with the history lesson. And though those first bikes were built in the UK for racing from caf to caf , the current rage for Caf Racers has definitely spread to the US. Converting a stock motorcycle to a Caf Racer requires more than a fairing and a few decals. Doug starts the book with a chapter on planning. Choosing an appropriate bike comes next, followed by chapters that detail the modifications that will likely be embraced by anyone converting a stocker to a rocker. From shocks and tires to engine modifications, Doug's book lays out each type of modification, and how it's best carried through. The center of the book holds a gallery of finished bikes. These are not just Triumphs or Nortons, but nearly every brand imaginable from Japan, Italy, the UK and Germany.
