Wiz goes Cafe'

Just got this 900 & will be turning it into a Cafe' Racer.
Things to go:
Tank-Seat-Air box-Side panels-Fairing-Headlight-Meters-Footpegs-Bars-Turn signals-Part tail fairing-Rear mudguard-Part front fender-Muffler.
All parts for sale.

 

probably be pricey but how much for the fairing and bracketry shipped to zip code 48059 in the USA?

DANG! you guys get ALL the good stuff...

almost need to spring for the whole set, tank included that way i could have it painted a color other than the metallic red of my current tins...

still, if you could get a price worked up. i cant guarantee ill jump on it but id like to look at the price tag if you know what i mean...

 

Hey I'd like the gauge cluster, you could send it to Dave with his shipment and we could sorta split the shipping costs..........

 

OK guys, Lt, if the tank is good I'm going to swop it onto my '85 'cos that really is cactus.

 

Getting rid of the airbox? What are you going to do?......pods?....carb conversion?.... or EFI?

 

I'm going to make a custom airbox.

 

must be an aussie term eh?

fair enough...

still interested in what youre looking to get for the rest then...

cheers

 

Man that is a nice bike... pity to hear of it's impending labotomy...
I've got some bikes that are half way there I'd be happy to trade!

 

Robert, I've done 9 'back to stock' frame off rebuilds on the run, so it's time for something completely different. Wiz.

 

needs more rake, and this should be wiz's first xj mod post...

 

I hear you Wiz (and what beautiful work you turn out too). Good luck with this endevor.

 

That is a sharp looking bike. I like!!! Good luck on your cafability....I've got a feeling that it is going to look even better, a LOT better!!

I'm in the same "place" you are.....I'm dying to do a full out cafe but at the same time, I don't want to take any of my classics to a point where I can't return them to stock...quite a conundrum. Maybe one day a nice bike will show up that I won't mind modding.

Have fun and don't go broke!!

Just noticed the 4 into 1 exits on the LEFT - is that a "Down Under" thing, along with the Kangaroo Rack?

I'll be watching and learning also !

 

No, they are normally on the right, doesn't matter as i'm goilg 4 into 4....

 

Looks on eagerly.... You keeping that pack rack?

 

Forget it guys, seller turned out to be an idiot, so no bike......

 

Bugger

 

Yeh, I'm halfway to Ivanhoe for the pick up, that had been arranged for a week & I get a text to say the guy was still in Brisbane & this was the second time he was a no show, so I'm well out of it.......

 

Hate it when that happens, but yea walk away ... Either that or tell him to bring it to you

 

I was wanting to see a hand-hammered tank !!

Bummer !!

 

ahh that sucks man. hate it when you get all gee'd up for something and it fizzes out like that.

 

Well, if he was in Brisbane you should have carried on, got to his digs and nicked the bloody bike for all the agro he's caused. 8O
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

He was trickier than that, the meet was at the Post Office.

 

BASTID! :evil:

 

Here we go, same project objectives, different bike, this stately old lady is an '86 GTR 1000, sold in the USA as a CONCOURS ZG 1000-A2 ( with 20 more horses), not a light weight at 570lbs.
That rear fender is the ugliest thing I've seen, the bike comes with it's own matching luggage.
I'll get rid of the tupperware & see what we have to work with.

 

Once the plastics are gone I envision something A'la "Goose". WADDAYA think?!

 

Something like this........
