Custom Police Bikes - Share your pics? was created by Topper
So there's a seller near me looking to part with a 1991 KZ 1000 police bike. Don't know much about it yet, but the price is right.

I wouldn't be interested in keeping it a police bike, but I'm kind of curious about what it would look like turned into a basic cruiser or something else.

Has anybody done any custom police bikes and/or seen some cool ones out there?

Something like this with better paint and a smaller windscreen might be nice for long distance highway rides. Not much work involved and it provides luggage space. Ed

I am hoping to turn mine into a cafe racer...

Something that looks old school, superb suspension and brakes from modern super sport bikes... And the biggest super sport tires I can mount on it... :)

Something like this: But I will work with the stock chassis, (Probably modified a little) and I plan to keep the stock fuel tank and side covers...

Wow, from cop bike to cafe would be a pretty radical transformation.

I'm thinking of something more like what Ed posted. Not sure how much highway cruising I'll be doing though.

If it's not Radical... Is not Custom!!!

Changing the handlebars, putting a fatter tire on the original wheel, and a nice paint job... That is NOT custom...

Torching, welding, machining, building, money and time... That is real Custom!!!

LOL :) Luis

Here is another one... This one is just minimalist design... I do not see upgraded suspension, brakes, or wheels... :) Luis
