TRX850 Cafe Racer 
March 18, 2010 at 9:50 am
hi, just wondering how much the wire wheels would cost as this is what would set the bike off. would the wheels bolt straight in with existing spacers and brake set up. ive wanted to do a trx cafe racer for a while and you guys have done exactly what i was thinking, top job. what sort of wait is there for the complete kit. cheers michael
March 18, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Hi Michael, The plan for the wheels is to be able to use as much of the standard parts as possible which would be, bearings,spacers, discs and drive. They will be a while off yet but I have started doing the CAD design. As far as price goes I am a bit unsure at the moment, but I think the hubs will have to be around $300 each to make it worth while otherwise the wheel set will be to expensive.
I can have a full kit ready to ship in one week. Twig

Hi!
Will you get the nylon Mojave style tank back in stock any time soon?
Best regards,
June 6, 2010 at 4:18 am
Hey guys good job so far when will we see some proto tank pix?
June 6, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Hi Whitey, Thanks for you comments, I have just posted some photos of the mock up for the tank. Check it out in the Gallery…Let me know what you think?
December 5, 2010 at 12:57 am
Looking good. Like the wire wheels.
September 9, 2011 at 12:31 am
Hi Twig, is that an alloy tank on the naked or just painted to look alloy. Also would like to know if the naked headlight can be mounted lower without causing problems, as Id like to use clipons and would like the light lower anyway. Last but not least, have you any idea what USD front end anyone has found a good fit? aaaaa so many questions. Wire wheels would be good.
Kranzy
September 9, 2011 at 1:23 am
Hi Kranzy, Yep the tank is painted to look like metal. The naked headlight can move up and down a fair way no problem I just put it in the middle. As far as USD fornt check this forum these guys know everthing http://www.trx850.com/phpBB_forum/index.php
Ah the wire wheel thing I am still trying to find something that works for a reasonable price. Cheers Twig
September 18, 2011 at 5:10 pm
Hey guys,
I really like the kit you have put together. I can’t seem to find any other cafe racer kit that looks as good as yours. That meens i am thinking of getting one in the future. The only problem is… I leave in Belgium (Europe).
Do you have someone closer to me who distributes your kit or do you have experience whit overseas shipping? Do you even ship parts to the other site of the world?
Not that i will order tomorrow, but if it is a no go, i can start saving for something else.
thanks anyway
September 18, 2011 at 9:44 pm
Glad you like it, We can send the kit to anywhere, I have sent one to Switzerland and also UK, so Belgium will be no problem. Cost is aroound $400AUD which is a bit of a killer.
Cheers Twig
October 11, 2011 at 7:16 pm
Hi, Twig,
just amazing that you are doing!
I have similar problem like have my friend from Belgium, but my location is some further from you – it is Russia, Moscow. Can you please give me information regarding shipping and also an approximate cost for yours kit. Thx a lot!
April 8, 2013 at 6:53 am
hi, just wondering if the kit is still available and if its still $1525. im in sydney and would you know what the postage cost would be to nsw 2230. great kit. i first saw it at the oz motogp 2 yrs ago and thought it looked great in person. regards michael

G’day Any word on a pillion seat, I have been looking at a triumph thruxton, but are little low in power, From a previous 900ss rider, I think I just found my next bike and will still have change to put into my drag car …… Now to find a good trx, These look bloody brilliant its a credit to you and I look forward to ordering a kit, Cheers
February 3, 2014 at 12:43 am
Its a no go on the pillion seat, the RTA have an issue with adding a pillion seat for legal reasons. You can remove a pillion seat with out a drama but when you want to add one there are all sorts of hoops to jump through, each frame has to be certified with weld x-rays and a hole pile of bull crap. So not touching it sorry.
March 17, 2014 at 11:17 am
Hey guys just wondering what it may cost for YOU to transform my 97 trx as apposed to just buying the kit and me cutting the frame etc. in rural nsw
Craig
March 17, 2014 at 9:12 pm
Hi Craig, we charge $500 + parts and paint to do the build on a faring bike and $1000 + parts and paint for the naked.
The end price will depend on how far you want to go, paint can be from $400-$700. Feel free to give me a call to discuss what your after 0425785110
Cheers Ian
October 31, 2018 at 3:07 am
Ian I’m planning to hopefully build a TRX up myself …do you have a list of all the parts of the build (cafe style ).that could be posted or a site I could look and order from.as it will probably be a work in progress and parts bought when funds can support it …cheers mate..Gav

Hi there,
I’ve been in love with the Cafe Racer since I saw it in the GP expo tent some years ago ..!!! I have an imported Black TRX 850 with white frame 98 and wondering the turnaround timeframe for you guys to give my girl the full works ??? (inc. painting, motor works, kit etc) …. also because I’m a girl, I’d love some pink in the paintwork ???? Open to ideas ….!!! Thanks heaps.
June 11, 2014 at 6:04 am
The turn around time can vary a lot depending on the works you want. But if you allow around 4-6 weeks that should cover it. Pinkn it up will be fun a nice change from black n red.
feel free to call 0425785110 to discuss the works.
June 24, 2014 at 3:37 am
Thanks for the prompt reply…. I’ll be in touch when I can spare the time & $$ to get it to you.

December 2, 2014 at 5:14 am
Sorry nothing for the TRX… I have seen one tho a guy from China sen through a pic of his TRX with wire wheels on it I have no idea what he used. I will try and find out.
December 2, 2014 at 5:52 am
That would be much appreciated. I’m sure there’s a few of us out there who would like this look.
March 9, 2015 at 3:04 pm
Hello,
my name is Philip and I come from Germany (so please excuse my bad english :)) I found this website and I’m thrilled! I also have a TRX 850 and plan to convert to a cafe racer. I found a few pictures of the finished model in which I really liked the headlight: unfortunately I can´t find it on the internet. Since you seem a true professional in his, maybe you could take a look at it? Maybe you know what a headlight it is and maybe you even know where I can buy one…
Greetings

June 12, 2015 at 10:33 am
Just what I was looking for! Buddy of mine bought an ’81 XV750 we’re going to convert – and this stuff is just what we need. Do you ship internationally? And where are you located (country-wise)? I can’t quite ID your phone-number as there’s no country-code.. 🙂
Cheers from Germany

Hi.
I sent you an email from this address about purchasing parts from your company? Just wondering if you got it and can you assist.
Michael
July 23, 2015 at 5:25 am
Hi There,
I am keen to know when your plastic tank will be ready for the XV750 cafe? I’m keen to order the kit but want to wait for the plastic tank. Does the fitting kit that comes with the tank require alterations to the frame as I want to send the frame off to be powdercoated but only if there is no alterations needed?
Cheers
Carlo
July 23, 2015 at 6:03 am
Hi Carlo, I got the second sample yesterday the first one we chopped up to check wall sections and inserts etc. This one is now going to be painted and filled with fuel. If all this checks out we will be ready to go into production. Cheers Twig…Just a few more weeks and we will be ready.
July 24, 2015 at 5:31 am
Hi
I forgot to ask about the fuel. I live in the UK and the ethanol content is about 5% but soon to go up to 10% (I think). I believe in Aus you guys already have 10% ethanol in your petrol – is that right? One last point – is the price of the plastic tank going to be the same as the fibreglass one?
Cheers
Carlo
July 24, 2015 at 5:40 am
At this stage the cost will be $450 but this is not firm as yet, and the tanks will take any fuel. Cheers
July 23, 2015 at 6:25 am
The frame needs no mods, just make sure the you keep the front tank mount tube clean inside as our mounts knock in and are a tight fit

December 28, 2015 at 9:25 pm
Hi Ron I am not sure if this will work on 500. Does it have the same frame as the 750?

Hi i bought a subframe about a year ago and im finally getting around to wrapping this project up. But im wondering which bolts you used to mount the subframe because the stock will not work.
Thanks!
November 24, 2016 at 8:02 pm
You will need some M10 fine socket head bolts for the sides and a longer top shock moount bolt M12 90mm

Hi like your work.
Like the logo
Im looking for a bigger radiator to suit a trx 850. This for planned engine work.
Are you able to help.
Id send a photo of my bike not sure how to.
So this is what ive done so far.
R1 08 front end this required a custom steering stem.
Over exhaust system.
Reshaped the tank suttlely (cheated but just removed the raised section down the middle of the tank by filling either side)
Protaper bars.
XJ headlight or i think it is.
Polished the rims.
Next its on to the engine. Hence the larger radiator.
I went and payed Brook Henry from VeeTwo a visit to enquire about the possibility of getting some cams from him. As Andrew Cathcart
has a love for the TRX and has one for avprogect of his own its not out of the question at the moment.
January 20, 2017 at 1:24 am
Hi, I cant help with the radiator work we only do cosmetic stuff.
I do know that Stafford motorcycles used to be heavily involved in modifying the TRX to race, it may pay to give them a call.
They would know everything that needs to be done to really make it fly, the may sill have some race parts left over.

February 8, 2018 at 8:58 pm
Hi Andrew yes we do ship to NZ Cheers
July 31, 2018 at 7:26 am
Hi, i see you ship to NZ, any idea on cost to ship over? Cheers
July 31, 2018 at 9:36 pm
Hi Mike,
Shipping is calculated on size and weight so depends on what your after. To ship one of our tanks would be $60AUD
If you go through the order process you will get shipping cost. https://twig-tt.myshopify.com/ Cheers Twig

Hi there, I’m looking to tart up my lovely TRX and love the cafe racer kit! I travel a bit so still need the pillion for throw-overs and bag, but would like to do the front end. How much NZ$ for the full kit?
October 1, 2018 at 9:31 pm
Hi Frances, The full kit is $1550AUD approx $1670NZD this includes the seat which it sounds like you will not be needing. please email trx850caferacer@live.com for the full breakdown.
October 25, 2018 at 8:36 am
Im building a TRX cafe race and purchased the solo seat from you last year and have modified the frame and mounted the seat . I added a huger rear mud guard and staytune conti mufflers.
So far so good.
Now moving to the front. My plan was to have a naked front end and also with minimal mucking around be able to refit the modified bikini fairing original head light setup when the mood takes me. I have it cut down to resemble early ducati fairing.
I was going to keep the original triple tree handle bar assembly as I didn’t want to be to wristy with drop bars/ clip on set up.
To that end I would like to fit chrome RPM Acewell speedo. Also round headlight and mount brackets to achieve the naked look.When i was checking out your products I saw the head light but no brackets . What is the availability of brackets and price.
Lastly the speedo, is it a kit with wiring and connection diagrams. Dose it read speed in Kms as well as RPM or just RPM. Eagaly anticipating your reply and advise Regards Andrew McIntyre
December 29, 2018 at 7:54 am
Hi, I was wondering if the bikini fairing would fit onto a 2000 Honda cb600f Hornet. It’s already got quite a similar looking original fairing to the original TRX850. If not do you know of any cafe racer kits for the Hornets?
Cheers,
Seb
January 6, 2019 at 9:18 pm
this is only made to fit the TRX but I am sure it could be adapted.
June 20, 2019 at 6:08 am
Hi there, in the next few days I may possibly own my very first TRX which I’m looking forward to. However, I’m looking to make it into a Café Racer rather than the original look, ideally I want to replicate something like the Ducati Sport Classic in style, are you guys able to make a seat that’s a little more like the Duc? How much is the single headlight assembly to have it fully functional and roadworthy? Thank you
July 27, 2020 at 11:59 am
