{"product_id":"9781935828730","title":"How to Build a Cafe Racer","description":"What's old is new again, and the newest trend on the block is Cafe Racers. \u003cp\u003eWritten by well-known motorcycle and automotive author Doug Mitchel, \u003ci\u003eHow to Build a Café Racer\u003c\/i\u003e starts with a history lesson. While those first bikes were built in the UK for racing from cafe to cafe, the current rage for Cafe Racers has definitely spread to the US. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConverting a stock motorcycle to a Cafe Racer requires more than a fairing and a few decals. The book starts with chapters on planning and choosing an appropriate bike, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final chapters include two, start-to-finish cafe builds. This is the chance for the reader to see how professional shops take a stock Honda, Triumph, or Ducati and convert it into a fast, sexy, and functional Cafe Racer, ready to race from cafe to cafe on Saturday night, or around the race track on Sunday afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wolfgang Publications, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051390419184,"sku":"9781935828730","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935828730_p0.jpg?v=1763657717","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935828730","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
