Haha. Believe me. I'm not selling the bike for a profit.

Unfortunately due to moving house my Cafe Racer is up for sale. Based in Sheffield, UK. Heres the bay link. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kawasaki-Z650-Cafe-Racer-/272310508620?hash=item3f66f89c4c:g:bJcAAOSwsTxXi0~p

Yeah I went cheap with the MOXI filters, I'm regretting that now. What's the opinion on the foam filters vs the cotton gauze ones like k&n? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So went out on it last night and took the pods off completely just to see what happened. Well, it ran a bit rough in the low end but when I opened the throttle it took off like a stabbed rat all the way up to the redline! I nearly fell off the back! So it seems the cheap MOXI pods are...

Yeah thats kind of what I was thinking. That looks like a nice neat job there. Did you cut the flange from sheet steel and how did you mount it into the exhaust? In other news, I still cant get the thing running right on the pods. Last night I tried various combinations of larger and smaller...

These are my rare Lester alloy wheels taken from my z650. I replaced them with spoked wheels and so they're up for sale. Front is 19 inch, rear is 18. Includes rear brake drum. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272232608111

Cheers Yorkie! Yeah, it's getting there, when I get the pods dialed in I'll be a happy bunny ;) I was thinking I could either chop the exhaust just after the collector and buy a slip on silencer but that tube is cone shaped and I'm not sure I'd get a good fit. Or chop the exhaust at the silencer...

Theyre a little bit grey looking on the electrodes but the rest looks quite sooty. I havent done a proper plug chop yet becasue I'm waiting until I can get it running all the way to the redline. I got a colortune plug and got the idle pretty good so the low end seems ok, possibly a little rich...

Cheers! Yeah I wanted a seat that wasn't too low down so I can actually ride the thing ;) Ha! I have no pod tuning experience which is why I still haven't got the bike running right yet. I think *think* that it's still too lean on the top end because I can't open the throttle past about 3/4...

Thanks Kamm Yeah the seat came out pretty good, mainly because I know the limits of my (lack of) skills and actually paid someone to do the cover for me ;)

Hi guys, Since I've been getting lots of great info from this forum I thought it only right that I posted a quick thread about my 1980 z650 cafe racer project. It's the first time I've built a cafe racer and my intentions were never to make an absolute prize winning minter but to take a good...
