8Ball's Winter Cafe Project

[8Ball]

Well it isn't R6 related, but I picked up a project for the winter. A friend of mine bought a 1979 GS550 and started a Cafe Racer build on it, the ran out of time and room. Here's what it looked like when he got it a few months ago:


It was in fairly good shape, and actually ran (however not so well), which was surprising since it had been stored for quite a while. He started stripping and cleaning and picked up a few mod parts (Dyna ignition, clubman bars, larger carbs, exhaust, etc....). Then he ran out of time and room in his garageand I ended up with it for $600.

Here is how I brought it home, today:










...stay tuned.

diggin the clubman bars, and the drilled front rotors. Is this a 2 stroke?

That's cool as shit man! That'll be a fun little project for sure!

Very cool project, look forward to updates

[8Ball]

Thanks.

Jose, no it's not a 2-stroke. Air-cooled 4 cyl, 4-stroke.

My winter project is a '78 Honda CB750, keep this tread updated so I can "steal" your ideas.

I was really wanting to go to the vintage races at Barber last month, just to check out the swap meets.
