MOPED ARMY

Not tryin to be rude here but if you are asking for a cafe racer "kit" you are probably going to be over your head trying to modify a motorized vehicle and still maintain function/reliability. Mopeds are tedious little machines requiring constant maintenance and up keep. PArt of the appeal is the problem solving involved in building/tuning one. It's not a dirt bike where you can just buy what you need and bolt on parts. At true custom "cafe" bike is just that, custom. Not something that comes in a kit.

If you really want that "cafe" look, throw some clubman bars on any moped and a long seat and boom you got a cool guy cafe bike.

Also i'm like 99% sure you need a valid drivers license to ride a moped in Louisiana.

I'm just looking for ideas on the best place to start. You're assuming a lot and aren't correct. I'm not looking for something to just bolt on. It's a moped, not a B-2. I can do everything in this video. I've just never done it before and never owned a moped.

Anyway, thanks for your reply.

Also, I've read the motor vehicles and traffic regulation definitions. (edited)

I'm not trying to be rude, but how often do you go to the cafe, and why not get there at a leisurely pace?

Check out mono. They can direct you to help build bikes. They have a healthy moped community there .

What you want, really want, is what most folks want- meaning it's hard to find and $$$. Puch magnum and general 5 star probably best fits.

Or make your own custom cafe racer.

Cafe racers are so 2012, it’s all about brat trackers now.

Hahaha there is that video of Will riding that racing a horse, floating around somewhere.

is that a honda motor retrofitted to a moped on that sidecar?

Start with a common moped like a Puch Maxi or Magnum if you dont mind sownding more, and get it running good. As you ride it and modify it, it will end up to be what you want. If you want to tuck down, a $20 M bar from treats will do it.
