Love it. I had a couple friends go]rwoing up who had CX500 Turbos. I have also thought turning one of those into a cafe' would be a kick in the ass project...

Looks good Mr-SR400! I'd ride that for sure! 8)

I'm in the same boat as you. I did a few more changes to mine as well.

Like that last one, hotrodder - but your right foot is going to get awful toasty
 
Lol!!! You should have seen my shoe after the test ride!

I thought of that! I have already mocked up a connector that will give me plenty of clearance for my size 13s! I have a friend who specializes in custom muffler/pipe welding, so he's going to help me finish them up. The header has since been cut back a bit, the 2 into 1 will curve back under the bike and then back out to the mufflers, same on the other side.
 
I saved the first one in my "Motivaional" folder HTRODDER aweful close to what I have in mind for my current build "Rock-It"
NICE!
 
My low miles 1978 KZ 650 B project. It's not quite complete yet, but the paint will come with warmer weather. To date the triangle has been opened, the tabs removed and smoothed, the electrics hidden under seat, the Mikuni's rebuilt, built a new chain guard, replaced the handlebars, painted frame, forks, headlight bucket, polished tons of aluminum and bought a new AGM battery that will reside under the hump.
