the most perfect cafe is from our crew

hehe hope it's gonna help you

 

nice bike.. Can you tell what front forks are on your bike and what company makes them.? Thank you

 

that bike would lok perfect with a scaled down tail section off my 70 harley xr750. check them out it would look bitchin!

 

That's cool ride, waay cool. But Im looking at something much much more simple. Im loving 481's ride, I just simply love it sorry 481 for taking your pic without your permission..

I have a old Jincheng frame at my garage. It's a regular frame, needs shocks but I like the solid rear end on these things. Thought about welding some tubing there like in Z50A's have. Or then just simply put some 280mm shocks there and a tight Honda-type front end. I also dream about putting some Z50R replica tank etc. to that Jincheng frame and swapping the forks, wheels and engine from my CRZ to that frame. To make a Z50R mod-replica. I have too much dreams compared to my wallets thickness..

No worries! Glad you like it.

I'll contribute to the photo portion of the thread.

 

481_________where did u get your seat most have the buttons on the side?

 

Just sent you a PM.

The short answer is: I had to take the seat apart to reinforce it because it comes with a thin plastic seat pan that is really crappy. So I had it upholstered at a local upholstery shop. The original seat cover that it came with was really thin, and the buttons are cheesy.

If I ever do another cafe Z, I'll make my own seat from scratch. It almost wasn't worth all the hassle. Luckily it turned out ok because the upholster did a great job.

 

got your pm .....thanks !!

 

I learned how to TIG weld this week. For my first project I made a proportionally correct rear wheel stand for my Z (still need to paint it). I have a lot more to learn about welding but it turned out decent for my first project.

 

Nice bike!

 

thanks for the link. That page says 62mph, at least with as some speed rating and at 25 bucks a pop i can actually afford them. grant it that sayign you get what you pay is going through my head right now.

 

Finally got a chance to strip the rust off of the stand and prime/paint it. Installed an old handgrip on the handle too.

 

here is one I'm building.

can someone link my pic in, this forum hates my computer

 

 

Been working on mine for a while, it's been a few different colors and styles and is now a 70's style cafe. I tried to keep with the era by using the Michelins as well, also did the cross stitching on the seat and matched the leather on the grips and shifters as well. I just painted the tank and have not yet wet sanded and polished it but it still has some depth to it. I have polished the carb and will continue with the polishing as time permits. I was actually inspired by 481 and DerekWades bikes a little and figured I could do a later model just as well as the hard tails. You will be hard pressed to find any websites, I have looked (a lot).

 

Ok, had some trouble posting, it wouldn't take some pics, so I had to go with the ones that worked. Put this one together in 2010.

 

^ Nice, the tank is a good match and fit. How do you like those dampeners on the front forks?

 

Thanks. Night and day from the stock ones. They feel more like real shocks, without the pogo- stick rebound.
