- I can't tell you for how many years I have been waiting, for seeing a Harley Davidson Sportster, with a perfect Cafe Racer stance.
I'm very happy to have found it, and present it in this video.
Essentially, and until this date, this cafe racer project, can only be the coolest Harley Sportster I've ever seen.
It was built in Indonesia, by kevan Cahyadi Alam, one of the founders of a bike communit named: "Solace Motorcycle".
I hope you like it.
My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my english.

![Why They HATE This Harley Davidson Sportster [Cafe Racer]](/img/1.gif)
Most underrated builder in Indonesia. Desain simple, klasik, presisi, dan yang paling penting ga norak. 😅
Beauty, it's symmetry and proportion, well done boys .
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Ive never seen a cafe Sportster i liked, nothing flowed or looked proper, until i seen this one, job well thought out and it shows..... 🍻 cheers
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
The builder has the ability to see the symmetrical lines that form a café racer. This a beautiful example of his work. And, as always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café Racers only choice! Have a great weekend my dear friend…:) Cheers 👍🏻🇺🇸
Indeed. All the bikes he designed and that he already published on his Instagram, are really very good. Thank you my friend for your support. You too :) Cheers.
I’ve always felt that done right, the HD Sportster can be transformed into a beautiful Café. The V-Twin is perfect for the look. This bike is an example of that!
Indeed. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
That is INSANE. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
How can I describe it? Badass, cool, bold, yet beatiful and stunning, this work of Kevan Cahyadi from Solace MC, what a talent💯
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
This is what HD should be doing....Amazing beautiful work!!
indeed. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
A very cool and beautiful harley davidson cafe racer 😍
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Mahalo!! I've been waiting for this for years
Me too. Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
An interesting design, and I like the way the exhausts manage to go down both sides. I agree about not using USD forks, however the need for more travel is needed.
I also like the change from belt to chain drive, very clever. I might make a few personal tweeks, but it is a lovely bike none the less.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Great video Racer. Kevan has done an excellent job with this Sportster, it;s one very cool cafe racer. If only Harley made one this good. Ride safe and take care mate, Cheers
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. Yes, "Harley should make a bike like this one." I thought this before starting the video script. I don't know why, but i completely forgot to include this sentence on this video. Now I am thinking on making a video about the new Sportster S, and include this Kevan's project as a good example to follow. You too dear Friend :) Cheers.
I,ve been to these guys shop in Bali, Indonesia,they were actually pretty cool laid back guys&great shop for indo too
Nicely Done! I've always felt that the Sportster offers a nearly perfect platform from which to build a killer Café. The V-Twin alone creates an awesome centerpiece for a beautiful build! Kudos to the creator of this bike!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
very nice. The custom tank was a great idea!
Indeed. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
The best Harley Davidson cafe racer I've ever seen...
sering nonton chanel ini, akhirnya dari indo do liput, kereeeen
Gorgeous simply stunning goodlooking bike
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
A masterful design work, Kevan Cahyadi.
We often say, "The tool does not make the craftsman." This is not the case.
What a great video.
Thank you my friend for your kind comment, and for sharing your opinion about this project. :) Cheers
I ride a shovel bobber and I love it but, he killed it ,and I would buy one if this was a production bike. Awesome to you sir!
As Always, What a nice find!!!!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Now THAT'S what I call fine art! Keep your Rembrandt's and your Picasso's! Gimme the Norton's and the Paso's!
Lol. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
In truth, when it seemed that a cafe racer could not be achieved with an HD Sporter, someone achieved the impossible. I really liked this designer's previous project, the Suzuki GN 250 never looked better. But achieving it on a Harley Davison truly is an artistic achievement. I like everything and above all the notion of being an evolving project and not a dead thing in a museum, but a vehicle immersed in urban traffic.
A agree 100% with you my friend. :) Thank you Alejandro for sharing your perspective. :) Saludos.
What a beautyfull Bike and a great Bilder 👍👍👍
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
what a nice harley build!! cudos to Kevan.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
Thats so baddass, a sporty 1200 cafed. I always thought about these bikes because they’re cheap and they’re powerful and fast. It’s awesome to see someone turned into a proper motorcycle.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
That stance is beautiful, so why mess with it? The Harley is as beautiful as the Suzuki. Love it!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
EXCELLENT SHOW THANK YOU
Sportster to racer...WoW!! Kevan got skills. W/ just a 250cc incredible. I can only imagine if you used the 48's or 883 actual engines w/ modifications that would be crazy!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Beautyful bike. Perfectly made.. i love it and the sound of the exhaust is so good .
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Sinceramente descobri a solace por causa desse canal, e até então acompanho eles. Para mim são um dos melhores (se não os melhores) montadores de cafe racer por aí, principalmente pelas proporções e escolhas de peças para as motos.
Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.
Looks and sounds amazing.
Back in 2016 you inspired me to build a cafe Racer of my own. I chose a old Harley sportster (Cheap, easy to work on, Classic looking and I never had a Harley before) for the build and the #Manxley was born. Me a plane working Joe built it in my garage evenings after work. With help from available craftsmen like legendary motorcycle works and Benjies cafe racers. And Inspirations from the builds I've seen on Racer TV. It's been accepted in every show and won awards, People tell me It's one of the nicest cafe racers you'll ever see. Thanks again keep up the good work.
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Hermosa moto, buen vídeo.
Desafortunadamente no tiene subtitulos en español.
Gracias por compartir.
Gracias por tu comentario. Pero verifique la opción de subtítulos en la ventana de su video de RUclips, porque este video tiene subtítulos en español. :) Saludos
Thanks again my friend for the video. I like the way the bike is now and I don't think it will look as good with the Hoosier rear wheel.
Me too. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Magnificent and Inspiring, a true cafe racer for sure. I'm evolving my Sportster 48 into a cafe racer as well. We'll see how it turns out.
what a beauty mate well done
Love your videos , look forward to all of them , I’m in the process of converting a Ducati monster into a cafe racer
Thank you my friend for your support. Good luck for your project.:) Cheers.
Now that is a good lookin' Harley
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
Buset indo masuk channel ini mulu anying. Salute lah
Beautiful.
I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Like the Ducati and Virago, the skinny V twin H-D engine layout is perfect for a cafe racer build and I have seen a few builds which I think are even better than this one. But what is impressive with this one is the fact that it appears rear sets were designed to work. I would have liked to see how the linkages were accomplished.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective.Unfortunately, i have very few photographs about this project, and a lot of video clips on the road. :) Cheers.
The best cafe racer my favorite
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
That's a beauty all right !
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
great custom
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
The short front forks and the tank, which hides the tall front part of the frame, are essential....
Indeed. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers
Love!
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
Jakarta kota yang indah
Those foot pegs are so far back they are impractical for anything other than a short drag race.
❤❤❤❤
Boa tarde Victor, tudo bem contigo? Bom na minha opinião o criador dessa Café Racer utilizou uma moto menor para ensaiar o que ele já queria fazer na sportster.
Olá Eduardo. Está tubo ok. Espero o mesmo contigo. Considerando que o Kevan é bastante jovem, acho que só recentemente é que conseguiu tirar a carta de condução de cilindrada superior. Também temos que ter em conta o factor económico, pois é bastante difícil ter uma Harley destas na Indonésia, onde o imposto anual de motas superiores a 150cm3, é extremamente elevado para a maioria. :) Um abraço
Awesome bike,Bro
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Good job jakarta boy 🎉
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers
Eu há alguns anos atrás tinha feito uma matéria no "falecido" garagem cafe racer sobre: E sim, basicamente o trabalho da sporter CR é deixar ela mais horizontal mesmo.
Sem duvida. Mas neste projecto, ficou demonstrado que uma postura horizontal por si só, não é suficiente. Rebaixar as suspensões da moto, e aplicar as proporções correctas do depósito de gasolina e banco, faz toda a diferença. Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
Wow...i own a 1200 Sportster heavily modified.This superb Ride strikes home :)
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Extraordinário
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
damn 🔥🔥🔥
Very Nice¡¡¡¡!!!!!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Badass cafe racer! But the exhaust kinda different with the one in the BIKEEXIF, are they change it?
Yes, the project presented on the Bikeexif website is the final version of this bike. From what I saw, the exhausts, the rear tire, and the rear cowl are now different. :) Cheers
Very nice. Not sure how the hoop avoids hitting the tire. I know it would with me on it lol.
Acredito que seja extremamente difícil transformar o que já é perfeito pois,Harley...é Harley,já nasce um sonho,uma maquina extraordinária.
Transformá-la é um grande desafio,é 5:18 para poucos.
E este trabalho foi alcançado por este grande artista!
Chamo de grande artista porque não conhecia seu trabalho.
E com certeza entrou para um grupo muito restrito de
Gênios da perfeição.
A máquina ficou maravilhosa.
Parabéns ao produtor,
Parabéns ao canal,vídeo nota 1000.
FABRICANTES DAS MELHORES CERVEJAS EUROPEIAS,PATROCINEM ESTE CANAL, O RETORNO É GARANTIDO POIS MEU CONSUMO POR CULPA DESTE CANAL É CERTO!! KKK CERVEJA POR FAVOR,🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Essa já é a minha Top 10 😢,cerveja por favor...🍺
Obrigado amigo Marcelo. Vejo que Você é fã das Harleys. Fico contente que tenha gostado deste belo projecto. :) Um abraço.
@@RACER_TV Harley não é moto,Harley é algo magnífico,é a perfeição mecanica🍺
Indonesia again🍻🔥
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
A very unique design and build, I just can’t help but ask about the exhaust tip being close/near to the riders gear shifting foot?
Espectacular👌
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Very well done. My only criticism is how the exhaust seems to dominate the bike, particularly on the left hand side. It's the first thing one sees, and continues to draw attention as one attempts to take in the rest of the machine. Something more subtle, of smaller diameter and more flowing in its lines, would "finish" this machine, at least for me.
Can you assure me that putting the tire from a concrete mixer on a cafe racer is going to contribute to good handling? Or, is this in the same catagory as dozens of reflectors on a Mod Scooter from the 60s?
Im not into cafe racers! However, this scooter is stellar!
"scooter"??. are you sure you are comment the right video?
@RACER_TV yea man, thats what we call motorcycles, scooters, choppers, wheels, scoot, scooter! Hog,
what about all the 883 from federico? Have you seen?
I was thinking that the front shocks should be inverted... overall cafe is amazing.
Can we get a copy of the list of modifications done on this bike?
Sir next Suzuki X4 two stroke🙋🇵🇭
Its crazy but for me a cafe race looks perfect with 18 inch wheels, early Ducati's and Moto Guzzi's had it right.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
This is what Harley Davidson needed to do to save their brand, but nope, they pulled out the ugly cheap-looking X400
Indeed. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
No saving Harley now, go woke go broke!
Dude it's custom....and harley has nothing to do with cafe and india.
"Harley Dave Edison..." 😂
Lol. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Indonesian power full
What pegs are those??
Harley Davidison.
Jeez I’ve been saying it wrong my whole life.
Hey an actual Harley I would ride. 😂
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
.............what the builder got right was the location for the rear set foot controls..............
Первые кафешники разве не делались из как раз таких Байков? Триумфы, харлеи и тд
what model is it?
It is a 1994 SPORTSTER.
indonesia
U r sun of beach
Build a copy of the XLCR !!!
Looks nice and solid, without a doubt. But literally just 1 inch of rear suspension.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Looks like the front suspension has no travel
I believe this project still has the original forks due to a limited budget. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Lekka man
They used a stick welder and the swingarm welds looks like boogers 😂
Menos es más que bonita conversión de esa Harley la Sporster es mi modelo favorito de la marca solo motor ,el tanque de gasolina y el asiento donde aplastar el culo y nada más a disfrutar y a llorar se dijo.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🙋❤👍🇵🇭
No dual front brake disc’s.
I far prefer the looks of the 250. Far more balanced.
Yeah, that's probably the best looking harley I've ever seen, but it's still a gold plated dog turd. The forks are totally compromised, about the only way to get any travel in there is oing to be USDs or maybe (which would go with the advanced technology of the power plant) some 1920s style girder forks. The handling's gonna be modified by the changes to geometry, but it's a harley, they aren't going to be making it much worse. I don't understand why they did away with the only good thing about the original bike - the belt drive, though.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. I believe this project still has the original forks due to a limited budget. :) Cheers.
Bonsoir ou bonjour, pourquoi parlez vous (en traduction) toujours de... vélo, à la place du mot...moto ?? merci
Je suis désolé, mais comme vous pouvez l'imaginer, les sous-titres sont réalisés à l'aide de Google Translate.
Les sous-titres ne sont pas parfaits, mais c'est le mieux que je puisse faire.
Merci pour votre compréhension. :) Salute
@@RACER_TV merci pour votre savoir faire.... de bons moments 😉
Nice gorgeous build but as an owner and rider of sports bikes and cafe racers, that looks uncomfortable AF
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. As someone already said here on this Channel: "I have one bike with a 300+ kilometers gas tank……but I only have a 100 kilometer butt". :) Cheers
In think your content is great but please improve video quality
Thank you my friend for your support
Good question about the 1080p, but here is my problem.
Most photos/videos I received, don't have enough size for a Full HD video. I could make my videos in Full HD resolution, but the image quality would be bad. That is why I prefer to work with 720p. But interestingly, my next new video for this friday, will be on Full HD. But this is only because the builder sent me High resolution content. :) Cheers.
Love the Bikes,,Hate the tires. I was born in the 80's and I won't put any tire that has a tread pattern designed before I was a teenager. I don't care how much they have been modernized. They make me want to puke. Throw some nice Metzler's or Michelin's on there and enjoy modern rubber.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Beautiful lines, except the exhaust pipes look like they are on steroids.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Rear and front suspension are not working!, and don't tell me they are!, look over function never works to me, so this one is a no-no, despite I never liked HD's.
Yes, the suspension issue could be improved. And I believe Kevan will do it in the future. Thank you Carlos for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
