Custom Bikes Of The Week: 19 May, 2019



A Vincent Black Shadow built from scratch, a CB650 built for just $1,250, a shed-built Moto Guzzi Le Mans, and an amazing timelapse video of a sandcast CB750 build.

The $1,250 Honda CB650 Bob Ranew of Redeemed Cycles decided to see if he could build a killer custom for next to no money. ?I?m amazed at the money some people invest in custom bikes,? he says. ?It?s all good, but there?s also a world where you can create something cool on a limited budget.?
Bob picked up a beat-up CB650 for $300 and started by grafting on a couple of critical CB750 bits. He replaced the tank with an $80 eBAY find, and the forks came from Craigslist for the princely sum of $10. After taking the tank back to raw metal and rebuilding the forks, Bob installed a taller pair of rear shocks that were kicking around his shop.
The wheels are sandblasted originals, Scotch-Brited for a brushed effect, and Bob scoured the chromework to get a matching finish. He built the seat unit himself, using an $18 scrap of leather, and then spent a little more cash on new Shinko 705 tires, a set of Renthal bars, and some budget mini gauges and grips.
Of course, few of us have Bob?s workshop skills?but it?s still a mighty impressive achievement. [More]

A ?new? Vincent Black Shadow It?s hard to believe that Vincent was only in operation for 27 years. The English company had a remarkable impact on the motorcycling world, and six decades after the Hertfordshire factory closed, its reputation is still intact.
