Yes I know I know its not a vintage bike. Flame all you want 
but I've always liked the look of the old cafe racers and vintage bikes, and I will be doing a cb of some sort project starting in a month or so (need to get in my track days fix first) In the meantime instead of buying another bike I decided to alter my current bike, why not right?? Here is my 2005 z750 in its current state, should be done in a week and a half. Dropped in seat, from clubman racing (thanks woody1981) to get an idea of the general look. Subframe will be chopped and a new one put on to decrease the seat angle. Want the bottom area to look clean, so battery will be relocated into the hump, electrics to be relocated under the seat, k&n pod filters arriving soon, tabs and other bits will be grinded down. Will have custom made rearset by me (ghetto styles). May put in chrome fenders or shiny black black ones. Currently has 636 front end upgrade with heavier fork oil and 1.0 springs, clipons, and 636 rear shock. Handles like a dream, still needs fine tuning. Still not as sharp as my 06 r6, but I love this bike more.
Before:
Now:
My custom made ghetto headlight bracket ;D attached to recently purchased fork clamps.
On order:
MIVV XCone exhaust
Speigler brake lines
Thanks to AC for letting me bother him with stuff I need welded or custom made, and having to put up with my crappy diagrams.
Big thanks to Yoshi for all his assistance in wrenching during the late hours (well late for me at least).
