First impressions are always the most important ones – and all we can say is that Bujar and Gaz from Auto Fabrica left one hell-of-a impression with their Type One custom Kawasaki GT550. Unlike some other cafe racers built from fiberglass and bondo, this slick-killer is an all hand-beaten aluminium design master piece, finished up to the factory standards of perfection.
The frame was heavily modified, with most of the modifications happening in the rear section to make way for the custom aluminium tail piece and a leather seat. The tank was “massaged” a bit and repositioned to create more of a flowing line as the rear suspension was raised (30mm longer Hagon shocks) and the front lowered by an inch. Inspired by the vintage Honda racing bikes, Auto Fabrica built a beautiful 4 in 4 custom exhaust, and finished it off in black. The wheels and the engine were left stock, receiving a nice coat of black as well. The stock engine is capable of producing around 55hp – transferring power via six speed gearbox and drive shaft to the rear wheel – plenty of smilles here – as the bike weights less the stock, we reckon. There are tons of small little details like brass bar ends and lines around the tank and panels so the best way to explore them is just to look at the pictures and admire.(Via:http://bikerscafeblog.com)
