Need...more...caffeine...
« on: September 17, 2005, 01:55:55 AM »
Ok, I'm hauling the project bike to the shop this week to start getting it seriously road-ready. I'm toying with cafe ideas, have been for a while now, but after doing some searches I can't seem to find too many cafe jobs done on a 400f. Just wondered if you guys have some saved photos or favorite links to mod jobs you enjoy? I'll post the ones I've found. The Dunstall tank is... really nice.

http://www.customclassicparts.com/frontproject.html - I think this is my favorite (pic included at bottom), as far as the bike's lines go. Tank is more like a 350's, huh? Still would be nice to do something to the seat though.

The silver 400 cafe belongs to one of the members of this group, but I haven't seen him post for a while.  Maybe you could get his attention and get some tips.

Well, the silver 400 sure needs the fender removed.  Aside from that, it's pretty slick.

Dog's bollocks indeed!

Most of the ones I like the best have modified/custom tanks to fit the lines of the new solo seats. I've been looking for a nice example that kept the original tank but haven't seen anything that jumped out at me. Eric Yuzon's might be the closest.

You guys gots any more pics saved somewhere?  ;D

All those bikes are the dogs bollocks!  My fave is the Dunstall 400.  Very classic cafe racer lines.   ;D
