    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Well, I finished it up too late in the riding season to get a good price for it, but maybe I also picked the wrong color, or something else too.
What do you guys think of my 550 Cafe overall?

It looks good, but yeah - I'm not a fan of the sky blue. Also, it has an odd look for a cafe because it is only partially set up like a typical cafe. Of course, a cafe can be done however you like...I would eliminate the rear fender for a sportier look.
 
I like the paint but would lose the screen and put a set of ace bars (clubmans) on it.
It looks generally pretty good but it's arse is too fat. No offence, just my 2c.

Nice work in general.
 
the seat looks very well done, did you do it yourself? i would remove the rear fender, also, and make a little mount for the plate/light or better yet, get an aftermarket lower profile light to made up with the tail or mounting plate.

not a fan of the sky blue either, but i can't fault the design or look of the bike, other than what i mentioned.

more than anything right now, i think it's the fact that the market is fickle. times are tough, it's at the end of the season, people are paying much less for bikes than they were even a year ago.

i got a kz400 i wanna possibly cafe out.
 
I like the color and paint job. It's unique. Not much of a market for selling it though.

The bug catcher doesn't appeal to me. Other than that, nice work!
