Just had a thought for your cafe racer build. Its real easy to find good quality rebuildable/tuneable shocks for the rear, but the front fork has always been limited in upgrades. Certainly, you can do the Progressive Springs, preload spacers, fork brace, billet upper triple clamp (or use a stock lower triple clamp on the top too, upside down), play with different oil grades and volumes. But beyond that its still limited to a really basic damper rod style fork.
Has anyone tried a Cartridge Fork Emulator in the old BMW forks? RaceTech and others in California make these for many older bikes, but I don't recall ever reading about some installed in the 70's vintage forks on a BMW.
Oh, and I agree with the other posts about going with rear shock about 1/2" longer than stock to speed up the steering a bit.
I will pass the suggestion onto Josh and we can do some research, thanks alot.
Sincerely,
Shane

Yeah but youre looking at one of the best Monkeys (And absolutely the best looking!) who was ever in the business!
Wowza!!!
I couldn't name names but I'm sure the side hack rider "monkey" is female, very well known(in some circles) and is part of a very accomplished side hack team!
I am sorry, too new to this BMW world, can you explain what you know of the picture? Sorry for my ignorance.
Thanks,
Shane
