  • Turning a stock HH ambition into a cafe racer

    I have an old HH ambition currently lying idle. I am hoping to change the way it looks. Perhaps into a cafe racer. Even if it could imitate the RE Continental GT I will be a happy man. I can spend around 25k/400$ on this project over a span of 6 months.
    I want to know:
    1. If this is possible?
    2. If it is then how should one go about it?
    3. I am from Arunachal Pradesh (NE India) and can visit exclusively NE states only.
    4. Shall spend 25K just for the aesthetics. The other performance related mods shall be done later.
    5. Will it be safe and reliable for rugged roads of NE?
    The bike is in yellow. So was planning to keep the fuel tank yellow and rest of it black. Not looking for anything fancy. A simple cafe racer look shall be enough for me. Thank you in advance.

    Not sure about the biking scene in Arunachal, but it is quite vibrant in Meghalaya, Assam and Mizoram. Even then a lot of my friends there pick up stuff from Delhi/ Kolkata etc, because of the scarcity of parts in NE.

    25k may fall short even for cosmetics.
    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!
