Clearly the work quality looks excellent.

Not so the end result

Looks pretty clean if you ask me.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am quite sure the builder is happy with it.

WHERE is the battery and all the Electrics.

Surely there isn't enough room under the Tailpiece??

So WHERE are they?

It has an anti-gravity battery. They float in the air behind the bike. It’s just not visible in the picture.

LI batteries are very small and non spillable.

It's a very clean, well-executed build. While it might not be everyone's favorite type of build, the guy did a good job. I think a different color/decal scheme would probably make it more appealing to a larger group.

I hope the look wouldn't keep you from riding with the builder. Razz

I think it is cool that the F bikes also make great looking Cafe conversions. A very versatile platform

The builder and the current owner were/are site members for a while.
I saw the bike a couple years ago near Toronto and i think it looks great.

I like it.... Battery may be in " the tank " if he made a compartment for that

If the tank striping was finished out the same as the tail
cowl (Z-1 ?) it would look more complete. Swing arm is
kind'a long unless its a drag bike but ... nice job.

Rob is a classy guy. I recently sold him some Dymag carbon fiber wheels to go onto a custom Triumph Speed Triple he is building. His brother is a custom builder too I believe but lives in the USA doing his thing ...
