When Dan from Lions Den Motorcycles dropped off their Custom XT600 last week to be on display for a while, we grabbed him for a rundown on what the inspiration and design process involved when converting this dirt bike into a cafe racer.
With a ton of bespoke and well thought out touches from the hand made oil tank to the speedboat inspired wood finished throughout, love it or hate it, Dan has made a truly elaegant cafe racer that wouldn't look out of place carving up the roads of Lake Como.
And it's for sale too.... give Dan a shout www.lionsdenmot...

I've owned the xt600E for nearly 30 years and didn't realise that it could be transformed into such a thing of beauty. An honest account of a lovely build, chap. Well done.

Classy build. The wood and brass accents are a great touch. The oil tank is totally unique.

i had an 85 and 86 xt 600 same bikes 1 had more black the other more red whatever identical more or less the oil tank was on the left side up high just under the side of the seat hidden by a side cover it was made of tin i guess better for heat holding heat and cooling quicker not getting as hot but i like this

Seriously beautiful piece of work. Oil tank is genius and woodwork impressive. It'll split to bits if it gets used. Contraction and expansion plus impact = splinter hole. But I'd just mount it on a wall. Good work that guy!

I'm not sold on that oil tank and the bits of wood hiding it and the ignition. But I do like the way the seat tilts up, that is sweet.

The bike looks incredible. Engineering and design both nailed it. I like the wood. Like walnut panelling on a Bentley.

Its s very beautiful looking bike. Both the medal and wood work were uniquely composed and put together in such a way that it appears to have rolled off an assembly line. The bike is beautifully balanced between artistic appeal and practicality. Nicely done thx for sharing......

I bet I'm not the only one nodding smiling gasping at the seat loving every part. I really love the use of brass, works wonderfully with the anodised ali bits and the wood too. I don't know if the whole thing is cohesive but there's no question that is one of the best bikes ever built, can't wait to hear it running and see it in turns :)

An amazing build. Crazy attention to detail. The rear is especially beautiful. A lot of brakes and suspension for an XT600 engine though!
@edwardtupper6374
@edwardtupper6374 5 лет назад
It's got a bigger Wiseco piston, and extensive work to the breathing apparatus, on a fresh build and virtually stark naked: it's going to be pretty good. Maybe not 636 sharp, maybe will need suspension, steering, gearing all dialled in. But it would be very grunty from low in the rev range resulting in a bike that can torque out of curves and keep some bigger bikes honest.

I have just started working on a 1980 XJ650 cafe racer with lots of the same intentions as you have done…. Well done, I can now get a better idea of where I am heading. Timber was my first thought when I started. Beautiful mate, well done. Wish I had just a little of your skills, this bike is epic #nuffys builds 🇦🇺👍🏻🏍
