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..... :D

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

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.
