Well here is our finished bike after about 10 months of building it. I hope you like what you see. This was a labor of love for sure. All the parts you see on the bike were built by us and will be offered after market very soon. We have been sorting out the pricing as CNC Machining all the parts is not cheap. But the tolerances are so much better than stamped or cast. Feel free to tell me you love it or hate it. We personally LOVE IT!!

Yes it does get ridden and yes we are going to sell it. We want to build another and have a few clients lined up for some builds others on the fence.

FYI.. This was NOT a budget build and I never made the impression it was going to be. So no busting my balls about BUDGET!!!

Thanks for looking guys and gals...

Someone had mentioned they weren't sure about the headlight. This is a much better image. The entire light you see was made by us. We bought the HID kit. But we made the bucket, lens, and ring.

i'm in love..i want one of those headlights for my cb900

botm for sure..hell i'd go for boty


btw can i request some large size outdoor pics so i can have a new background on my comp? thanks
 
I love it, best of both worlds, classic styling with modern manufacturing!

I would ride that in a heartbeat.
 
That is the future, a completely new bike! Cafe Fab.......simply amazing! Great work, it is classic and modern.

Q: how much would this bike sell for?
 
It came out very nicely for a first attempt. Really nice attention to detail. I'm not a big fan of the Hot Rod auto styling, but that's a personal taste thing and exhaust warp looks out of place to me on such a clean build.

Of course, underneath the glitzy exterior, it's still an old SOHC Honda hiding in there. But for the guy or gal that wants something like this, that's probably not an issue.

It certainly is designed to appeal to the upscale rider that wants an alternative to a chopper - they are so pre- GFC! The market may have shrunk for top end bikes, but it should be possible to sell a few.
 
Unreal attention to detail - nice work. How on earth do you 'make' a lens? Are you CNC'ing acrylic and polishing or something? WOW!
 
This bike is amazing... I know its non-traditional, but sh*t thats some attention to detail right there... love it.
 
I cant call it a Cafe'. Its more. To me it's a resto-mod in the same context this is a "32 Ford". The only thing "32 Ford" about it is the body with the VIN.

That motorcycle is the next level.

love it. love it. so sick. what year is the bike? did you fab the oil tank or pull it off another bike?
 
hats off to ya man! insane shows what you can do with the right machine work and the ability to use it!
 
Beautiful! I know some guys prefer a more old school/low budget look but I think there's more than enough room in this world for all kinds of bikes and I don't think I've seen a better "new school" cafe bike. Nice work. I love that instrument cluster. ;D

I think that a blend of old and new school is sometimes the best thing... this bike is just awesome....if I had the money to buy it when they sell it, I would..lol
