Just finished customizing my wifes GZ250... She likes the cafe look...

Moto-Guzzi clip-on bars
Triumph seat
BSA muffler
Indian fender plate
Honda fork gators
Saddlebags
Crash bars
Headlight tint
Vintage Suzuki emblems
And some decals
Royal Enfield tank panels
Headlight visor
Bar end mirrors
Thats it...

Now that is a "one of a kind GZ". :2tup: Looks real nice Kevin. Welcome. GZBrian

Great job. Bike looks awesome, very good flow, you have a good eye and really pulled off the look. Looks like you stripped the original seat from the pan to put under your new solo seat. Front fender plate is very cool.

Wow that's by far the best mod I've seen in my 3½ years here. Excellent job. Reminiscent of WWII bikes. :rawk:

Awesome, Kevin! :2tup: Where in BC are you? I wanna come see your bike!

WOW !!! That is a really neat looking bike.

Hey everyone thanks for the positive feedback... I still look at the before and after pics and cant believe its the same bike. It all came together way better than I expected and without too much work really. eBay helped me keep the cost pretty low as well total for everything was $480 which I think is pretty good. The bike is in Abbotsford and is parked outside Bakerview Starbucks on sunny days while my wife is at work. Thanks again. Kevin.
