Those mirrors can be found on ebay or dime city cycles. I'm sure there's more places too....
Unless those are oberon mirrors. Those are a little more pricey.

Sweet! Great work, and I'd call that a cafe any day. Lightened, stripped down, tuned for speed. What else is there?

Here's my little 450 project. Turned into more of a brat cafe because I wanted the option of throwing my wife on the back. Still looking into possibly fabbing a removable cowl to maintain that cafe feel.

I like it! Of course it needs K&N filters or velocity stacks and that seat leaves a bit to be desired.
I think you should build it

That makes sense. There was the shafty Katana 650. I really like those wheels, I think I may keep an eye out for a set. Thanks for the info, the 850 Cafe looks great!

Well this is still a work in progress and not strictly a cafe, but it's in the ballpark. It's an '82 GS1100G!
It's beautiful. That's what it is. You done good.

Darn good looking bikes going on in this thread.
I've always said, "anyone with a basic tool set can restore a bike to original but it takes real imagination and work to make one into something it's not".
FTW!
Keep em coming.

Damn! Where can we get all the nitty gritty details on this work of art? For starters, what kind of tail light is that?

Wow - thanks guys! (blushes) I am pleased that you like it! I love my bike and it's not THAT modded, although I did cut the rear frame off to add the little loop under the back of the seat. I also cut of a lot of little tabs that side panels and things attached to. The taillight is Japanese and I got it from Modern Motorcycles in Collingwood (Melbourne Australia). They have an ebay store and have some beautiful stuff. I got the indicators, taillight, headlight, rear fender and a few other bits and pieces from them via ebay.
Here's another view of the tail:
Actually I have replaced the taillight with a similar one in polished aluminium because I felt the rear end needed a touch of bling to lighten it up visually. But I may put that taillight back on - it's really cool.

Nicely done, my favorite here, mostly because it has a nice look and retained a lot of originallity, hang that chrome front fender in the garage and get another one to paint, match the paint scheme of your tank and cowl, I think you'd be surprised at how much more pop it will have.

Im debating hacking up an L seat to make a half-pan and either weld on a rear hump ot move the ducktail forward. Shes a work in progress... but I'm not sure about a full-cafe strip down... The stock lines still look muscular.
