Cafe Idea Help

Dante12016 · 05-05-2014, 08:52 PM

Here is the bike I bought. Obviously somebody started a café build on it, which I like, but to me its not complete I think the lines are wrong. So just looking for ideas/suggestions

There's no picture there. Just a small black box with an "x" in it.

Can't see your picture, but some ideas for cafe racer style: clip on handlebars, bar end mirrors, double round headlight, side mount plate, and of course the racer style seat.

It's hard to make a true cafe racer bike with the cruiser-ish frame of the GZ.I did convert mine into a cafe style cruiser with minimal effort.Most people think it's a Triumph!

Here's one-got more if needed

That is really cool win. I like it, and did work yourself?

Seat being up a little more help with leg room? I'm 6'2" and i had to push my controls forward first thing with the gz.. I was sitting on the pillon pad to be comfortable! But raising up the seat level could work as well.

A pic of the 'frame addition' would be nice.. You could do a 'how-to'!

Follow the previous posts under my login name-the one from 10/1/12 is the most relevant,Nick.

I wanted the cafe racer style also but decided bobber was more my style. I do agree with tnastvogel about about adding bar end mirrors mirrors, other than that I think it looks great!

wow! they did a great job on the work to the frame and the tail section

i agree about using bar end mirrors. also check out a "M" handlebar its kind of like a clubman, but without killing your back.
