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.
