bike arrived now the "cafe" project starts

[chimp]

I have always been a fan of original looks however since seeing metaltriumph's results I have to admit that I can appreciate these machines.

The effort you guys go to making these oldies shine amazes me...I would not have the patience to do such a job.

Keep up the good work mate.

cheers Laidback, by the time i'm finished with this one I reckon I could have bought a newie for the same price & then just for shits & giggles the caf'e 650 will start...unless i'm broke

[chimp]

here are some side badges I got made up 1 set with a resin top & the other are clear coated the resin ones are going on Booga & the clearcoat will go on the caf'e later they are aluminium plates in which the "Z650" is milled raw aluminium with the black paint background....just a little different

...once I get it done I will whizz up to show you & Gos, I'll just have to make sure on the weather radar that's there no rain within a 3000k'm radius .....

sounds great mate, give us a yell beforehand so I know to stay at home that weekend, and get a few of the other * Old Dunger Appreciation Society * members ready to come over and check out your work. That green is the shizzle mate, it looks excellent !!

yep here's one.....I'm flat out at work, making sure all my clients work gets done when it's required & they repay me how??? no bastard will pay their bills on time which = me flat out & no time to wk on the bike + broke......so just hang in there Zedd, the next update may be a bit more positive.... or 4 bikes, 3 cars & my business up for sale

[h.b.bear]

Thats the golden rule of being in business,the customer needs the money more than the poor idiot who has done the work for them should be pay on the spot

[chimp]

G'day guy's been a while " as per my last rant" Now that the business is now back on track after re-educating client about money + sucking up to the bank jeez they play hard, so its back to what I love...
