Its vintage right? I will be working on my first cafe build in few months, Until then here is some work I'm doing for a customer. 1980 kawasaki kz440 I dont have an actual before picture, but it looke almost exacyly like this: After getting it running, replacing the starter clutch and a few other small issues, i tore her down and threw her on the jig Started chopping and grinding To keep costs down, and working on a slight time restraint i will be reusing the stock axle plates.
Notching some tubing Good fitment As far as i got today

No, I just do side work. frame fabrication and repair.
I'm a diesel mechanic by trade, and a hobby builder.
