xj600 cafe fighter (pre diversion)

Got more done last night.

Rearsets:





Nothing flash, just a set from an old Fz600 but better than huge lumps of pig iron that Yam gave it.

Bars:



Tried another set of bars, but turned round and upside down????eh.... do suit it quite well but would need a larger backward angle on the ends.........But i don't think i like the bandit top yokes, the risers seem far too tall so i think i'm right that GSX(katana) or Sv top yokes will fit and go with clipons.

Headlight:



Already got a dished 7inch cibie that will fit nicely.

Body work:





Dug this back out, I've made a rough fibreglass copy and am going to try and modify it to suit.
Gonna add a rounded top nothing huge just a slight radius, cut the front 4 inch or so off just to the point where it fits over frame rails, trim some of the depth so it shows off the rails and finally fibreglass a seat pan that will include the front of the tank.
Thought i'd give it a try i do like it and it reflects the shape of the tank from above......we shall see.

 

Good on yer mate ... nice n tasty work.

 

Vauxhall Astra? It looks like it is coming together well. Keep it up!

 

:lol: well spotted young man.

Didn't like the bandit top yoke, the risers sit too high for my liking so caught a couple of bargains on fleabay, hopefully should be here today.

will post pics later.......

 

want to fit a wider tyre to my xj600,so a bandit swingarm and wheel inc sprocket and disc will fit ok?

 

Try sending matie a pm. It looks like it will but you will have to rework the rear suspension to.

 

what did you do with the shaft drive, id like to switch to a chain with mine is it difficult?

 

the xj600 pre diversion came as a chain drive dude,not a shaft.

 

Could you shed some light on the front end swap! Looks very nice and a great way to add better perfor ance to the bike i reckon!
