anyone cafe-ed out an 80's cb650? do you think its possible to pull off something at all stylish with those models? im not convinced the geometry is right for it, so i imagine some hefty chopping would be required, but though maybe someone had pulled it off without major changes.
 
Anything is possible. The problem I always saw with the nighthawk 650s is the frame to motor ratio is screwey. The motor is really tall and the frame has a terrible "cruiser dip" in the frame. It could be done, but the way I would have to do it definitely involves the angle grinder.
 
I am new here this is my first post. I hope it is possible, I did cut off the Cruzer hump. I started the project 1981 CB650 Custom into Cafe about a week ago. Posted some pics to my facebook page and a couple through twitter. AngryIron

That's not the 650 I was thinking of. When I think 80s cb650 I think cb650 nighthawk.
