Thanks man! Yeah I love these tires, they were cheap and they look great IMO. I just painted the numbers on the tires for an old school racer look. Check it out down below. Nice bike! These are fun old girls huh? I did use the parts that make the hinge underneath the seat. They bolt to the...

Hey so its been a little while since I've posted but I thought I would share an update. I've got the seat mostly done now and have added a few other little touches. Here is the process of finishing the seat: Smoothing out the seat: Needed some leather for my seat pad... found a couch on the...

Hey great build! This thing is coming out really sweet. I really like how the seat is coming along. I like how the shape mimics the cool lines of the tank. Using a mold looks like it produced a really clean seat, I should have done that with mine! One concern, it looks as if your front tire...

I agree with ako, if you keep the triangulation member going from the rear end down to the lower rear shock mount it might be a nice in between. I agree that all the way tripped looks a little light or weak, and I also think that the stock frame looks a bit bulky and busy. Overall I cant wait...

Cool! What kind of Kawi is it? What tires did you get? Thanks, I plan of keeping this build thread going.

Re: Mini-Cafe'-Kawasaki Build (Updated) So I took a little break from my seat while the fiberglass dries and I installed my new tires. They're 3.00x18 IRC NR53 if anyone was wondering. What a simple job (after getting the right tools of course). I borrowed some metal tire levers from a friend...

Re: First bike, First project! Cool bike! I can't wait to see how she turns out.

Since these were taken I removed some more foam and smoothed out the transition between different materials.

^thanks I guess thats next one the list. Just got a first layer of fiber glass on the seat. I'll post some pics later. Its coming out great, I'm glad I did a last minute flare out on the sides of the seat (as pictured below) Tires should be in tomorrow...

Sweeet project! I'm doing a similar one with almost the same bike, in fact I think the frame is the same. Mine's a '72 G3 90. I like the yellow, its flashy! What are you going to use for a seat pad?

Yeah I'm pumped to keep working on it, it's been really fun so far. I just added some more curves on my seat. I flared out the flat sides with some foam to mimic the tank. I'll put some pics up tomorrow. So on another note, when I bought the bike it wasn't running. After buying a battery...

Yup that is a stache on the Puch! I just put one on the Kawi as well :P Mitey F, your builds are great. I was actually the guy who e-mailed you a month or so back in search of the wiring diagram. Thanks for noticing my build. This is my first one (if you don't count the Puch) and its a blast...

So here's the background story. I bought a '78 Puch maxi earlier this year and spent the fall rebuilding and modding it. I did a cafe style with it and loved the looks. It was the perfect 'campus cruiser'. But alas, a phone call from the DMV detective ended with my Moped being hauled off by...

Hey I'm new to the site and new to cafe' bikes. I just bought a '72 G3ssb just like yours (in stock form). I was wondering if you knew where to find the wiring diagram for the bike. Your build is fantastic, its so clean! I really like how you did the custom seat.
