Cafe Racer

For this project I was asked to design and build a cafe racer seat

for a 70's Kawasaki KZ750 (with seating for a passenger).

I hammer formed the seat pan and rear fairing from sheet metal and painted/striped it to match

the original tank. The seat cushion is made of medical grade gel padding which I covered

with cowhide.

I also fabricated rear tail light and license plate brackets to work with the new seat.

Additionally, I installed new and less obtrusive turn signals and bar end mirrors.

Done! (Almost)

Done (almost)... With the exception of a few minor details it's done.  I will add many more process pics later but here's a video clip of the start up and running.
