hello DTT members, thank you for all the info, writeups and general info that this site has helped me with. so, my 1st cafe build, but not my last im sure, anywho, here is my MadMaxine--

3 month project, limited funds, alot of inspiration and a few sleepless nights.
all work done by myself!

headlight bracket reversed (lowered light 3 ")
forks shortened 2"
custom ground cam
gsxr1000 velocity stacks
custom shifter and brake
kawasaki kz tail section
custom seat and a few other trinkets here and there.

I love the Kawi tail on there, but doesn't that seat get a might bit uncomfortable. Looks a lil thin to me, but looks can be deceiving i guess.

Haha, good on ya man. I've got a stable of bikes I'm trying to get through. 3 for sale, 3 in the process of getting back on the road. It's becoming spring up here so I'm anxious to get going. Not to mention motorcycle gear keeps showing up. lol
