Well I joined about a year ago, and I'm finally making some progress on my cafe so i figured I'd contribute some pics. Shes gotta be done by June 13 for a trip to port dover. Mostly all cosmetic stuff left, except for a little wiring. The fiberglass seat is coming along, after a lot of sanding and bondo. Im still not 100% happy with the shape of the seat, but I've got it this far I may as well finish it since I'm doing the paint anyway. I think when i get some padding on it it'll look a bit better. Shes gonna be black.
The K&Ns are really sexy. Almost worth the price of them :-[ (Sorry about the dusty pics) The tank is from a kawi, it may look a little skinny from the side but its pretty wide and i like the way it sits really close to the engine. It sure made putting a petcock on it a bitch...but ill have more details on that later.
I grinded and filled in the tank badge brackets and did a little grinding and bondo on the front seam as well. Actually I wouldnt recommend doing that because when i was grinding the seam I went to far and could see the 2 edges of the tank so I had to run a weld along the seam to make sure it was sealed. It should look good though.
Thats it until paint which I will am hoping to have done next weekend providing it doesn't rain
