I remember seeing the green bike being advertised on ebay from a custom cafe builder I think.

    The Green 750 belonged to a member here, who hasn't been very active here in a bit. Really nice guy as well, I might add.

    Pretty sharp bike too!

Was the GL one of Kghosts?

Was the GL one of Kghosts?

     Yep, THAT was Kghost's very own Wing. I was so taken by the look of that bike, that I put it in for BOTM once. I was very nicely reminded that it was only for SOHC4's.

      Okay, 3 have been identified. But, what about the 1st one. Is there anyone who knows who that bike belonged to? He was AND still is a member here. I put it in for BOTM once, but unfortunately, it didn't win. I thought it was a choice looking bike myself AND he put a lot of work into it.

   So, how much longer should I let this go, before telling who's bike this was? I was sure that there would be someone who would remember. Or should I give some clues?

Bill....you are assuming all of us have memory.

           Ha! Ha!   Mike, I seem to be LOSING MINE and thought, if I did this, it MIGHT help me to regain some.

           Hey, 3 out of 4 have been named, that's pretty good, eh?

           Well, just to show that I DO remember something, the last one belonged to

             KCs76cafe

             

             As I remember, He bought it from a coworker pretty cheaply, brought it home, fixed it up (it was pretty sad looking) and caught a lot of comments (all in fun) about not having a seat pad on it. I put it in for the BOTM, but competition was rough and it didn't make it. He ended up selling it some time later on. So, that's it. I had those four pictures saved and thought I'd see if folks could remember whose they were. I figured that kghost's Wing and KCs would be the hardest.

                                         Take care, Bill

         Here Are some more shots of it. great Build! I contacted him a while back and asked for some photos of his build, cause I was (and still might) build one of my own. The tail piece is from a Sportster gas tank AND has the electrics and battery in there. Notice that the area between the rear wheel and the carbs, is empty. Nice clean look, huh?

thanks for posting the pics. I've been following the Motorcycle Classics CB500 Cafe build but i like the look of THIS bike alot more. that seat is sharp. who makes that exhaust? I'm working on a minor cosmetic restore of my CB500, after looking at this bike I'm starting to get some wild ideas....
