Whats up yall. I didn't know too many people on here rode, much less were interested in cafe's. We need to get a group ride in sometime.

My kz550. Just a project bike.

I only have one pic as of now, any one have a rebel battery charger I can borrow? :(

It looks great, aside from the "Cafe" text on the gas tank. It's a little redundant, don't you think?

Trust me, I know. I bought it with that on the tank.

Is it just a sticker, or does it need to be sanded/repainted?

Nice bike, I like the all black look.

I love old school bikes. Don't know everything about them but they have always interested me.

It's just a sticker, I've just been focusing on getting it back up and running.

I'm trying to decide what else I would put on the tank before I rip it off.

I say take the white cafe off the tank and get someone to do some solid white pinstriping. Maybe with an extra color or two, would look amazing.

Thats the old one I sold. Was a 79' KZ400 ltd. Now I own an 82 Kz550 ltd, and a 76' Kz400. Yeah man just send me a message, Ive pretty much been through the whole wiring harness on both bikes and rebuild one from scratch. Itf you got any questions let me know.
