    Another one bites the dust

    While scouring for some parts on the local CL, I came across this GS750 Cafe racer. Hopefully no one here owns it... Anyways, in the picture below the seller has a before and after picture of the bike. It's small so it's hard to see the details, but from what I can see, it looks like it was a really nice bike before the conversion. It made me sad. Oh well...

    Another chopped tail hack job. The first thing these monkey's do is strip off the seat and sawzall the frame at the shock mounts.

      Looks like also updated swingarm, updated front end, and relocated all the stuff so is all open under the seat. So that all took some good work.

      And increased the value of any remaining stock 750 (although probably not much).

        What's he asking for it? $3k, I'm guessing? Nothing I'd be proud to own. Looks matter. Unless that bike can cook you a good meal or do something for you in bed.
