1993 750SS - Cafe racer - headlight bracket?

Hey there,

Just bought a 1993 750SS, soon to be converted to a cafe....

I'm wondering if some of you have converted the headlight to a round one... which brackets did you use?

As for the seat, I'm gonna try and play with my 1982 Ducati Cafe seat and see what can be done...

That's my bike:







That's the concept of what I'm thinking of

That WM ducati is very nice, I am planning on doing some modifications on my 600ss myself.

Are you planning on ''monkyfying'' the tank to? And have you thought about cutting the frame?

Will have to modify the tank, got to lower it a little... as for the frame, when I'll be sure of the seat design I'll see what mods I'll have to do with the frame, including cutting and welding a rounded end...

Thanks! No word there about the 750ss, only that it fits Monster.... As I'm new to the 750ss, I assume that it got the same lower triple clamp?

A lot of the monster stuff will fit

Try the headlamp and bracket

You will also find the wiring loom should fit and it is designed for a naked

Regards

i love it. That pic right there makes me want to convert my 900ss into this. How big of a project is this?

quickly looking i see
Headlight kit
seat re-vamp
exhaust re-vamp (who sells exhaust like that?
cut brackets on frame for fairings
tires
lower susp
smaller fenders
take off all skins and windshield
i wonder how this would all look in the original ducati red color...
how are you addressing rear lights?
do cafe racers not have blinkers and mirrors?
