77' Cafe Project

[Ponda]

Just thought I'd throw a few pics up of my little project...

Here's how she looked a few weeks ago when I first got her.

Should have took some progress pics but I was in a hurry! Here's what I ended up with.

Originally planned to paint the bike a dark metallic silver but had the copper color laying on the shelf from another project. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Not 100% happy about where the bars are currently at. May make them a little more parallel with the headlight and see if it changes the look any.

If anyone wants any of the stuff I removed shoot me a PM or check the classifieds. More updates to come in a few weeks!

Looks good! But is it me or is there no taillight?

 

[Ponda]

Good catch! I actually had a slim LED light under the seat but broke it on the way to take those pics. I'll be relocating below the license plate.

two-tone blue-grey 240SX coupe in the background remind me of my old whip.

 

[Ponda]

Haha! Two-tone love! That's another little side project I have going on at the moment.

[Ponda]

^ Not real sure. Picked it up on eBay.

Yeah, the copper looks good that one.

Are you running internal baffles?

 

[Unfocused]

I was wondering the same thing about the pipes. Open?

Swap the bars from left to right and the will sit parallel to the ground.

Just noticed they aren't clip on's. Forget what I just said.

^ Pipes are open at the moment. Thinking seriously about pulling the trigger on a 2-1 but need to take care of a few other issues that just popped up (charging system...ugh!).

The bars are clip ons. I actually just moved them down below the tree and it looks much better. Will try and get some pics up soon.
