Honda CB550 Café Racer – Shannons Dream Bike Build. 

Monday, 15 May 2023 by Charles Gilroy
If you’ve been following the build series for the Honda CB550 Cafe Racer you will no doubt understand just how much work goes into the custom motorcycles we create. This bike wasn’t built for the series, instead it was chosen from our line up of custom jobs we already had in the line up. I

Months of work has all led to this episode.  You’ve been with us every step of the way, from taking this rust bucket sitting at the back of Honest Dave’s shed, through the huge engine restoration, all the handmade fabrication work, through to paint and final assembly.

Honda CB400 Four Café Racer

Thursday, 27 April 2023 by Charles Gilroy
Our latest build out of the garage is a Honda CB400 Four Café Racer. We love these Honda Four’s it’s no secret. The rider was stoked with his moody looking super sport café racer. When Will, our client from Victoria got in touch about his Honda CBF400 Four Café Racer and explained the sort of

1983 Honda CX500 – Café Racer Rescue

Thursday, 18 March 2021 by Purpose Built Moto
The Honda CX500 was what we call a “rescue build”. It’s always a tough job to take on a half completed build. We’ve had it happen before, a deflated customer comes in after a bad experience wanting their dream bike built how they imagined it. The bike they’ve received isn’t up to scratch and now

Honda CB400F Vintage Café Racer

Tuesday, 10 November 2020 by Purpose Built Moto
A few years ago I was given the chance to build a great brat styled Honda CB350 four. With its simple layout, and easy to work with styling we were able to create something pretty special for that client. So when Paddy asked me to bring his 1975 CB400F back from the dead I jumped

Ducati GT1000 Sport Classic Cafe Racer

Friday, 15 May 2020 by Tom
Signature series Ducati GT1000 Sport Classic  The story of this bike is a long one, not only because of the extensive modification we’ve done to this Ducati GT1000 Café racer but because for a long time, I delayed even starting this build. The bike wasn’t sat in my shop dormant but I held off

LED brake light scrambler frame

Integrated / Recessed LED brake light cafe racer tail hoop

Wednesday, 13 May 2020 by Tom
Fabricating a recessed LED strip brake light into the frame This is one I stumbled upon the answer to only recently. When I first started building bikes, I used a few of these LED strip brake lights, just affixed to the tail hoop not recessed in. I then started to get creative with my brake
