Made her a little dirty...

..in a 1980's trashy kind of way.

Sorry for the fuzzy pic. Not done yet.. but figured I'd throw a post up.

What you need now are some pull-back handlebars.

Oh yeah - and gold emblems and some other gold details spread around the bike...

I love the seat,is it comfy and which model is it?

Nice! That seat would have looked right at home on my Kaw LTD750

These ARE pull back bars. I guess those pictures didn't make it as apparent as it is in real life. Chip Beck is going to hate them.

The seat is K&H. I haven't ridden on it yet, just arrive today. Although I weigh 185ish, I didn't tell him that..I'd rather the seat be a little softer than firmer to suit the style of bike I am going after. I also opted for the leather grained texture..I prefer it over the plain almost smooth surface everyone else goes for.

The KZ750 LTD is *exactly* what I am thinking of in my vision. Decades ago when I was in the Army, I owned a 1982 LTD 4 cyl, black, and it was one of my favorite bikes.

I still have a few ideas left to do, but for right now I have the Staintune muffler, engine guards, the seat, handlebars, chrome grab bar, chrome chain guard, deleted the factory grab bars and moved the rear blinkers forward, and because of the factory grab deletion the rear blinkers are moved inward as well.

But yea.. I know cafe racer style is extremely popular with everybody regardless of make / model for many years now...and the Whitehouse CB are awesome in their own right (I owned a 1976 CB750)... I just have a style in my head of what a motorcycle 'should' look like, based on what I grew up with and this is the closest I can get to it with a modern bike. The earlier style CB is nice, I just like a little more attitude without having to resort to a Harley.

Josh that looks good! stay on track with what you have in mind.

If 750 ltd is the look you were going for I'd say you nailed it. NIce work!
