Going back thru old Facebook posts, I started this project in earnest in August of last year. Here we are 10 months later and finally I have what can be called a motorcycle (with a straight face) again. It isn’t finished, not by a long shot, but it is good enough to ride around town, […]
Nearly everybody who has ever ridden a SOHC Honda CB750 at freeway speeds has lost a left side cover. It’s an affliction they have been cursed with since day one. You may notice all the “customs”, “cafe racers”, and “brats” running around with pod air filters and no side covers. That is because without the […]
I got these pages at a swap meet years ago. It covers (most) of an aftermarket exhaust system shoot out between Dunstall, Triple A, Action Fours, Racecrafters and Jardine. Its missing the last page, but it does have the comparison chart with all the important numbers. Hopefully the images are big enough for you to […]
This thing is so awesome/oddball I hardly know what to say. No expense was spared in making this special Super Bowl XVIII promotional vehicle, except the expense of a sign big enough to write out the words “Super Bowl” Found on Craigslist, in Tampa, Florida: http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/cto/4279887326.html “This is a custom made helmet football car built […]
Put the first base coat of paint on the tank today. I think it came out pretty good. Not sure if it needs a 2nd coat, or just go straight for the metalflake top coat and then the clear. I also mocked up the frame mounted 9″ headlight. I think its still a bit too […]
Nearly a year and a 1/2 ago I posted this inventory of my garage/projects, Well I’m finally starting to see the end of the tunnel on 2 of them. The Honda MT125 Elsinore is within spitting distance of being “done” and the CB750 cafe racer is nearly a whole bike again. Back in August it […]
Adventure touring isn’t as big with the hipster set as cafe racing, but among the burning man hippie hipster set its huge. This biker combined them all and came up with this bobber dual sport cafe racer sporting a set of custom plumbing pipe clubman bars. I want to take it home and save it, […]
Not a hell of a lot of information on this one, but lets go from what we can see. It looks like a 1st generation Honda Goldwing GL1000 front end, welded to a modified 70s Toyota pick up truck, powered by what looks to be a GM 2.8 FWD 60 degree V6 driver train from […]
I feel like I tracked a rare wild species to its breeding ground. I bet the owner found something to love on every aisle.
Spotted this for sale at the Pomona Swap Meet. It’s a perfect example of the type of bike that is being slapped together and called a “cafe racer” by every hack with a Harbor Freight store nearby. Looks like a Honda CB550, but what the hell happened to it? The exhaust pipes are just cut […]
