cafe cruiser

Tried to make my GZ look like a small Triumph-just for fun-easy garage project-Nick.

Re: cafe cruiser

I would be tempted to put different handlebars on the bike to complete the look. You must get quite a few comments from other riders.

Re: cafe cruiser

No doubt on the cafe bars.

Helluva good job.

If we had a picture of the day sections, I would post this there.

Re: cafe cruiser

Thanks guys-if I put lower bars on it,I would have to put rearsets on as well-to change up the ergos.The best feature of the GZ for me is the perfect position of the pegs-maybe I'll sacrifice comfort for looks and continue the mods!

Re: cafe cruiser

As much as I would like to see different bars to complete the picture maybe you shouldn't. If you find the bike a perfect fit don't mess with it. I am a fan of function before form in the final analysis and am more than happy to hear some one has a perfect fitting bike. If it ain't broke don't fix it. :2tup:

Re: cafe cruiser

As much as I hate to admit it - WW has a point (other than the one on the top of his head :poke2: ). If it feels right to you leave it alone. The bike looks great as is. Now I'll sit back, eat my :popcorn: and shut the hell up

Re: cafe cruiser

I like it! I like it just the way it is actually! I'm finding lately that I don't actually like the cafe handlebar look anyway. LOL. So personally, I like what you've done! I might put on different grips (if we're critiquing), but other than, looks awesome! Thumbs up!
