My GS750 Cafe Build

I have to admit. I'm not usually a very big fan of the cafe style bikes, but your is turning out to look pretty cool. Well done.

Only seeing this for the first time.
Nice job, very tidy, tasteful and well thought out.
Personally though, I would have kept the paintwork all black.

Never been a big fan of Cafe Bikes but that is looking real good. Has also given me some cool ideas of things I can do with my bike. Good job can't wait to see the finished poduct.

Thanks all!

The paint is not finalized yet. The tank does have a couple dings in it, so it will get some bodywork later this summer/fall. or maybe winter. I dunno yet. But when i do get it done, i will probably get the emblem strips filled at least. I'm still out to lunch on the stripes..........

I went to the upholstery shop today. He wanted me to ok the shape before he sewed a cover up. It looks good, along the lines of what i planned. He's a little slow, but his work has a good reputation. maybe i will have a seat by this weekend?

hi the seat you used, did you have to cut anything off the frame to fit it.

also which of the airtech seats was it?

Hello, yes I did have to modify the frame. I cut off the back of it, and had to add 3 curved flat bars for seat supports. I used the CB75021M universal cafe seat.

Little bit of a bump here. Any more progress on the bike? It looks great so far.

Wow, I'm sorry for the huge delay. I acquired another dirt bike and have been spending a lot of time trying to split riding between all 4 bikes, lol.

Here is the bike as it sits today!
