Kawaski GT550 G7 -91 Caféracer build!

Hi! One year ago i bought this Kawasaki GT550 G7 -91 European Model ( I'm from Sweden). It was in very bad shape since it had been kept standing outside for 7 years. I bought it very spontaneously without any clue on what to do with it.
Now one year later i barely recognize the bike. Unfortunately i didn't take any pictures of the bike when i got it.

What i've done.
* Chopped and welded the frame to fit seat.
* Painted frame, tank, wheels, engine etc.
* Remove unnecessary electric, and airbox for cleaner look.
* Clip-ons
* Rear-set
* New headlight
* Kellerman micro 1000 DF Dark ( not mounted yet)
* Changed all frame bearings
* Shimmed the engine valves.
* New shock absorbers.
Thats all I can remember right now, the pictures will tell more.



Frame after disassembly of all the parts.


Original look of the fuel tank.


Tested how it would look if i modified the original seat cover.


Re Welded frame in the middle, to straight pipes instead of bent.


Sanded down the frame.


And the fuel tank.


Sandblasted and painted the engine.


Trying out a cut.

Shortened the end of the frame and re welded it, to fit the seat. Fuel tank first layer with primer.


Modified the seat.




Result of painted parts.







Engine mounted to the frame.

Wow looking great! The tank and cowl flow really well

Parts attached to the frame.


Painted the wheels.


Finally standing on the the wheels!






Polished the engine cover. Not the final result on picture.


Taking progress, here with the rear-set, original exhaust system, carbureatours, wiring, clip-ons, and the seat has been dressed.


The speedo will be changed in the future, will use it temporarily.

Thank you, I just updated with some new progress pictures. Worth taking a look at :lol:

Wow that really looks great, good job.
