Hey boys, glad you like the build.

As far as the seat and tank if you draw a line under the bottom of the seat it lines up with the straight line at the bottom of the tank. I fussed a lot with wha ...

The fairing looks really decent IMO, however the sloped back of the tank combined with the raised tail looks like the bike caved in in the middle.

I think this look could be adopted to our bikes qu ...

@ctluba - front end is a 2006 GSXR600 set-up, rear is F4i complete. Shock mount will be modified to run a R6 shock and custom mounts made for the top. It's no where near a bolt on affair. The swingarm ...

You've got a lot of energy with your bike builds origin8or, that's what I most admire. That and you have good taste. I am looking forward to the 900 you're working on. I believe you could make an ST11 ...

Well now that the 750 is done and will probably see it's last ride of the season this week-end I thought I might show you where the 900 is heading. There is a ton more work to do on this project inclu ...

Mate, please don't take this as a criticism, but just wondered if you had any thoughts about the brake master cylinder?

I'm trying to think of an elegant way of hiding the one on the Z440 but not s ...

Yes, I have also posted the build on dotheton.com and funny enough it got nominated for B ...

Thanks, ya I kind of got slipped in there but I don't have a chance in hell this month. There are some very nice builds in there.

Cheers!

A WHITE cafe - that is inspired thinking. I was going to the all black thing on the Z440, but now I'm not.

Do you mind if I steal your idea?

Paul

Be sure to post photos of the project - would ...

Got my DP sintered brake pads (front and rear) in today and installed - this thing is gonna stop on a dime! Crossing my fingers that my ...

That is one sweet Cafe! Nice work.

Did you consider grinding down the handle bar clamps on the top tirple clamp, it would clean up that piece real nice?

I actually am designing a plate that will ...

Wiring is all sorted, the left side was a breeze! Got my new rear tire/tube on the spoked rear wheel and set up the chain. Rearsets and linkage are all hooked up - GP Shift! Braided lines are on and b ...

Found this site for some wiring diagrams: http://cycles.evanfell.com/2010/03/simple-motorcycle-wiring-diagram-for-choppers-and-cafe-racers/

I am still at it Very Happy

WOW, thanks for all the links. I found a 76 wire rear wheel so I am good on that front. Had to order a new sprocket as the 76 came with a 48 and the 82 has a 45 - I opted for a 46.
Not keen on the re ...

Thanks.
@bikeboy - the rear is a '75 750 SOHC unit.

@smurdoch - tank is a BCR item (benjiescaferacer.com) and it's fiberglass as is the tail. XS650 in the bobber.

Cheers

Different bike but.... as I was out in California last week helping my brother with his build.... here's a quick before I got there / after we finished photo set. Like the paint work? After seeing my ...

Well, made a little more progress on the ride. Did the paintwork - base clear and layed the stickers, assembled with tank and tail to get a feel for the look and if what I had in my head was as good i ...
