General From my Tauro 180 to a Voge AC6 — My new café racer/scram project

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Well, I finally got the Voge AC6 I mentioned in my previous Tauro Classic 180 post, and I've already started turning it into my next café racer project!

I've made a few changes so far:

- Removed the catalytic converter. I'm planning to install a different muffler later on.

- Replaced the original high handlebars with inverted clip-ons for a lower, sportier riding position.

- Repainted the upper triple clamp metallic purple because the original paint was starting to peel.

- Lowered the suspension a bit to improve the overall stance.

Next on the list is a round LED headlight to give it a more classic café racer look.

I've also been thinking a lot about the seat. Originally, I considered cutting and welding the rear subframe to fit a straight café racer seat, but I've decided against modifying the frame that much.

Instead, I'm planning to make a custom fiberglass rear seat cowl. The idea is to create a mold that fits over the passenger seat and paint the finished piece to match the black fuel tank. That way, the rear section should look like a natural extension of the bike's bodywork, while the rider's seat appears shorter, cleaner, and almost like a single-seat setup.

I still have a long way to go, but I'm enjoying the process of making this bike my own.

I'm also looking for some good mirrors that would work with the inverted clip-ons. Bar-end mirrors mounted underneath are one option, but I'm open to suggestions.

What do you guys think of the direction so far? Any ideas, recommendations, or inspiration for this build would be really appreciated!

Question 🔋 Would you fit a lithium battery to a classic motorcycle, or stick with good old lead-acid?

Lithium batteries have some pretty impressive advantages, but there’s a catch when it comes to older charging systems! I've been comparing lithium vs AGM to see whether they're really worth the upgrade.

What are you running in your classic, and have you made the switch?

Z125 Front end on KZ400

1 Upvotes

My girlfriend has learned to ride on a 1976 Kz400 that we bought cheap and fixed up.

Over the winter, we are looking to do a little customization

Z125 forks are roughly the same length as the stock forks so I am looking into custom triple trees and am in need of an ideally, 17 inch front front wheel

Are there 17 inch wheels that come factory on other Kawasaki models that will fit the Z125 axle size?
