| Any of the Z range would be a great base for cafe conversion. There are plenty of Z specialists to get your spares aswell. | |

| Firstly welcome to the forum. The Z650 is a stonking piece of kit, redolent of the original British twins, T100, A10, Dommie, but with more grunt and without the reliability issues and the tendency to p*ss oil at every stop sign! Go for it and post piccies as you go  | |

| I can't post links yet but google
dotheton z650 cafe racer
Cool as no? Or...
z650 blue blitz
Not my cup of tea but each to their own...
Parts look reasonable from z power too.
Having bought a non-runner as my first build i would not recommend it! A runner may cost more to begin with however when costing parts for a rebuild, long term it will save you. A lot.
Best of luck,
