Simple, Elegant & Luxurious - Honda Megapro Cafe Racer
June 26, 2020
Hello everyone, my name is Alfero. Born in Surabaya and raised in Gresik, I'm currently 21 years old and have been immersed in the world of motorcycles since I was in 1st grade of junior high school. My family has a passion for tinkering with and buying and selling motorcycles and cars, so I naturally followed suit. My dream is to one day build my own workshop at home.
Transforming a Honda Megapro into a Cafe Racer Masterpiece
This is my pride and joy, a 2006 Honda Megapro, also known as the Primus, that I've customized to stand out from the crowd of factory motorcycles.
Inspired by retro-style racing motorcycles, I embraced the cafe racer concept for my transformation.
The changes are extensive, starting with the undercarriage. I've opted for 2.5-inch wheels and 350 tires for the front, while the rear features 3-inch wheels and 400 tires, all from Swallow Classic. The tank is a replica of the CB750, the footpegs are chrome-plated Ninja R units, and the seat is a custom handmade single seat that can still accommodate a pillion in an emergency. The handlebars are clip-ons, and the front shocks are stock but have been customized with a flattened top section. Finally, the swingarm is from a Honda Tiger for a more substantial and imposing look.
A Personal Touch and a Sense of Pride
My favorite parts of this motorcycle are the engine and the seat. The engine has been upgraded to almost Tiger level performance, and the seat is a custom single seat that can still accommodate a pillion in an emergency.
The process of customizing this motorcycle with my own hands and resources has been a source of immense pride and satisfaction.
Future Plans: Enhancing the Look and Feel
My next steps for this motorcycle include creating a detachable hornet and half fairing, and then I'll move on to the painting process to give it that gleaming and polished finish.
