[/center]Hey All,
Just thought I would share...I am new to the site and after seeing all of the XJ600's I thought they would make a great platform for a cafe racer. They are pretty light and have a decent looking frame when you strip them down naked!
I chopped the rear end and welded in some bottom supports along with closing up the back end with a hoop. Stripped the frame of all of its mounting tabs
I put all of the electronics and battery under the seat.... which I had plenty of room left to put anything else.
I shaped a fiberglass seat and seat pan... foamed and upholstered the pan.... painted everything black (was stock green before hand) with a sunburst red stripe down the center.... added some wide clubman handlebars... fabbed up a headlight mount using an old mount from a KZ750... fabbed up a speedometer bracket for the mini speedo.... Relocated the horn... and Im sure I missed a bunch of other little things but heres what she looks like now:
