Well-known motorcycle and automotive author Doug Mitchel and Publisher Timothy Remus from Wolfgang Publications have released a new book entitled, “How to Build a Café Racer.”  Doug takes you through a history lesson on where the first café racers were built and why, and how they’ve emerged into the current rage in the U.S.  This book also explains everything from how to choose your café racer to modifications and details on how to convert a stocker to a rocker. They cover everything from shocks and tires to engine modifications.

Included in the book is a gallery of finished bikes with beautiful photography. These are not just Triumphs and Nortons, but nearly every brand imaginable from Japan, Italy, the UK, and Germany.

The final chapters include two, start-to-finish Café builds showing the reader how professional shops take a stock Honda, Triumph or Ducati and convert it into a functional Café Racer, ready to race from café to café on Saturday night, or around the race track on Sunday afternoon.

$27.95, free shipping to the lower 48.
