BlackKat from Akron, Ohio and a Ducati cafe in progress!

[blackkat]

Whats up boys!
I'm Kevin. BlackKat from Akron, Ohio. My first cafe was a 73 cb350...on to the current project...

I'm building a retro/modern cafe from a Ducati Monster. Retro metal flake paint, some carbon fiber and plenty of custom pieces as there just aren't off the shelf pieces for this one.

I'd love to meet some cafe buddy's in the Akron, Cleveland area to ride with. All my buddies have like 200hp zx14s and stuff that I just can't hang with...BTW...MONSTERS AREN'T FAST! ;D

I'm a GM at a local automotive shop that specializes in European cars. We've started building a few cafes for customers here and there...Nice cb550, a cb750 with all benjies tank and tail...etc...

Anyway, just wanted to say hello! Drop me a line if you are local!

This is what she looked like when I started...pretty bland and tired.

add the new custom made seat and exhaust that I waited 16 weeks for!

mmm...carbon headlight bucket that Benjie made for me...

I have a ton of pics, but this is just a few of the highlights over a 4 month build....
