Kawasaki had hit the market with a design based loosely on Kawasaki’s legendary Z1 and a powerful DOHC inline four it was a great looking performer, especially in its larger capacity 750cc and 1100cc versions.

 

The project began when a customer rolled into the workshop on his 1991 Kawasaki Zephyr 750 inquiring as to whether the bike could be converted  into a cafe racer. This is a contribution of Sven and Derek from Barn Built Bikes, a Belgium custom shop.

For the Zephyrs cafe racer conversion Derek began with the bodywork. Beneath the tail he created a new subframe and rear loop, raised it slightly for a level out the bikes stance.

 

He then cut the original Kawasaki tail unit down, retaining the duckbill lip at the rear and tucking it in as close as he could to the revised subframe.The huge headlight and indicators were replaced with LED and LSL parts and the factory gauges were replaced by a Tiny Motogadget unit.

A new license plate bracket with integrated tail lights was then fabricated to tuck up beneath the lip of the tail and a custom seat was upholstered to flow with the lines of the tank and tail.  

 

The chunky stock footpegs were also swapped out with milled aftermarket units and clip on bars with bar end mirrors mounted to complete the bikes cafe racer stance. Unsightly electrics were addressed by relocating them to inside the tail where you’ll also find a lightweight lithium battery.
