750 cafe racer was created by thompsonmx100
I have a 85 gpz 750 that I'm gonna convert into a cafe racer. I'm going for kinda retro but with modern suspenders. I have a bike seat and tank everthing else is undecided. If nothing becomes of it at least this thread exists to motivate me.

I did some mock up with the parts I have aquired so far. This is actually my 82 frame i will actually be using the 85 frame. Looks cool though.

Thanks I will. What I have so far is zx7r frontend, gsxr 750 rear end, r1 rear sets. Still need a head light, tail light, turn signals, velocity stacks, controls, and a guage. I'm sure there is more that I'm forgetting. I've got to build an engine and swap stems and I should be pretty close. Oh and build a whole new subframe. Mount the battery under the seat. Should be cool though If i can pull it all together like I want. Oh and the color is gonna be white, im thinking with a green racing stripe.
