The bike looks great. I really like the seat, is that designed like a removable cap on the back covering the seat?

Yes it is, and could be used to store small stuff.Originally posted by robs View Post
I'm afraid I choke about stripping off the OEM stuff like mirrors, fenders, signals, because it's so hard to come by.
I tried some bar end mirrors and dumped them because they make you look way down. I need to keep my eyes on the road in front.
I did this project 6 years ago, but when I posted the pics here I just got dead air, no comments.
Cafe was considered gaffe around here then.

Just stopped by to see what you
butchers are up to.....
Heres one that looks pretty thought out. Price seems a little high but thats typical for this shop/salvage yard. Plus there's plenty of parts and labor too.

Nice color choice on the 850, I was thinking of a pastel yellow when I redo the tank & seat panComment

I don't necessarily consider mine a "cafe"...at least not in the sense that the style has become, but in the sense that cafe racers originally emphasized improvements in performance and handling. (More emphasis on the "racer" part, I guess)

nice pictures everyone , ,.. looks good, keep um coming!
heres my contribution
i just finished messing around with a dynojet kit, i already had a kit from Sigma6 in it, it ran good, but a slight stumble/hesistation at around 3500rpm , i was still using the stock needles, so ordered a kit from dynojet, put that in, now its all good, now it runs perfect from idle to the end of the rpm-range
still gonna swap the pod-filters to APE-ones, i had the china-ones on-off a couple of times now,.. well lets just say, you get what you pay forComment

I like it! The exhaust wrap (in hand) and the shorty front fender are on my to-do list. I'm not sure what to do with my side covers. They are not so nice looking. Leaving them off would be pure cafe.Comment

G-3, Though I see you have a kick start{lucky dog- my '80 doesn't}, how'd you loose the battery...or did you? I love the clean thru look with it being gone from the oem location. I miss my H-2s, Rd, CBs and KZ-B that had kick.{no choice on the H-2s and RD-lol}
Nice ride!Comment
