Zephyr 550 cafe-racer kit. First completed kits.

And here is the final part of the story about the first two cafe-racer kits for Kawasaki Zephyr 550. It took much longer than I expected to develop the kit and settle all matters of the new kit manufacturing. Now I could make a Zephyr 550 cafe racer kit to order in the same three-four weeks that were necessary to make a 750 kit. Every kit is in fact custom made by me and the best contractors I could find and of quality materials. However, let’s return to the first two kits.

The one with the brown seat has already met its owner, my client from France.

Usually I provide a tail primed and ready for painting. Painted tail is a rare exception. For one thing, it takes more time and effort, while for another I couldn’t guarantee 100% color fitment. Even using the same receipt and materials from the same manufacturer (but likely from different batches) two different painters may get two quite different results. But I have to admit that a painted tail looks much more fancy than a primed one! So I shot some additional photos.

      Hallo René,

      I am located in Ukraine. Unfortunately, due to the war (Russian invasion, cruel and unprovoked act of aggression) I was forced to postpone my projects and parts manufacturing.

      I volunteered for the army this Spring. Now I am at the frontline, doing my best defending my country. Hope one day I’ll return to my workshop and my projects.

      Kind regards,
      Nazar
