Brocolli's 82 seca cafe..updates 2/17 paint pics!

paint job reminds me of my neighbors A/C cobra... not a bad color choice. can't wait to see the finished bike, it just makes me want to get out there and finish painting mine!

 

Greetings from the east side of beautiful Cayuga Lake. Very nicely done! I have to have a taillight like yours...remember where you got it?

I got it on ebay,

I covered the "tubes" on mine in black, and covered a little bit of the plate light (its really bright) but that's the one I started with.

 

Great job on the paint!

Lookin good!

 

thanks gang...I pulled the tank today, and I thin I'm going to run out and get the paint off it tonight.

 

new pics...paint is done, seat gets covered this weekend. yay!

 

Really cool customization, man!

 

how do clubmans affect your stearing?

 

Not at all...and I find that they are a nice little leverage upgrade on my steering. :lol:

 

That's a bangup job on the paint. I don't really care for the bars, but what ever melts your wax I guess. Don't the bars hit the tank?
Anyways, it looks alot better than it did from the factory.

 

nope...the bars clear the tank without issue. I just need to make a decision on the gauges now. I'd love to go smaller. Anyone need a stock gauge cluster?

 

Looking Good.....Liking the paint scheme !!! Might I suggest smoothing your seat before putting the vinyl to it though. Keep up the good work !

Cheesy!

 

Looks great..Allways liked the feel of the ride with drop bars. Had a few defferent styles on hand.Quick change of the bars whole new ride.Making me want to take the plunge.Think next years project will be to build a cafe racer.Sneek it passed the wife say it's for her......look what i got ya honey ..ahh don't like oh well ..ya thats the ticket

 

Wow, I can't tell you how nice your project is looking. I was curious how you did the paint detailing. In specific, the Yamaha symbols on the side caps and the striping on the rest of the pieces. I am buying a seca exactly like yours and look forward to doing a similar project. Also, get some more pics up for us, we're anxious to see the progress!

Thanks,

 

you mean, like the pics in the other thread for this bike? Look down a couple threads...it's there.

And the striping on the tank is 3m professional stuff, the side panels are computer cut vinyl decals. I'm way too lazy to paint the stripes. Plus, I may want to change color schemes at some point.
