Not mine but pretty interesting project none the less.
http://www.caferacer.net/forum.html

Look in the "project builds" section under "Project Old Skool"

I don't think the owner is a member here.

Take care.

That's interesting and they guy says he doesn't know anything about the GT series. I like the knee indent look and black on black paint job.

I like it, different anyway.
BTW, I put those shocks on my grey gt750 and love them. I don't care if they are chineese junk, they were the most noticable improvement to the handeling of the bike.

Interesting take on a 550 cafe. A little over the top for my taste....but that's just me. Love the tank, though.....

they were the most noticable improvement to the handeling of the bike.

Well, John, ANYTHING new would be an improvement over 30+ year old STOCK shopcks, IMO.

I agree Rick, It's a little OTT for my tastes too, but there are some interesting design elements that could be adapted.

I am assured there's a difference between plagiarizing and creative adaptation.
