Cafe Suzuki

[alleyrat]

I'm starting this thread as a place to show of your Suzuki Cafe Racers...
Here is Mine...

[Notz]

I love the Zero.
As clean lined of a cafe as one could hope for.
Are those grips the 714s?

The best picture is in my sig, but here is another one. I'll take more when I have finished painting my new tank.



At some point, I want to redo the electrics to streamline things further.

You guys have some really beautiful bikes, mine is cafe'd somewhat but it can't compete the works of art you guys have.

My 550

Here's my '78 550. I swapped out the rearsets and clip-ons to make it easier for my daughter to ride. Renthal bars are really nice, and absorb a lot of vibes.

Hey Octain, I just noticed the rear wheel on your cafe. If I'm not mistaken it looks like its from the later 83+ 750's and 1100E's right? How'd you modify it to work with the shaft drive?

It looks good, and weighs less too I'd bet. I like it. I may steal that idea for my 650gl project build. More information please, any pictures from the shaft side?

I believe Octain got that rear wheel from gs650m katana shaft drive.

[Blower]

Here is my GS 1150

[nvr2old]

LOVE that bike. It has everything it needs, and nothing that it doesn't. Great build.

Here's my 550 with rearsets and clip-ons.

Not sure about the rear wheel. Was on the bike when I got it. Folks here say it's from a later shaft drive Kat 600. I couldnt tell ya. Honestly I didnt even notice it till someone pointed it out to me. Dont know what kinda mods were done, if any. Just recently swapped the rear drive for one from a member here and didnt notice anything unusual.




Here is the bike as it sits today. All the BS safty crap has been removed. Sigs, lights(and brakelight) and backlight in the speedo housing is all it has.
It sure is a fun little b1tch.

Yup. Also has the license plate mount. Got it on Ebay, a cheapie. 25 bux IIRC.
I have non LEDS on the front and didnt have to do any mods to the wiring. They have a one or two second hesitation when ya hit the switch but other than that it's all good. Just have to remember to hit the button a bit sooner.
