Custom Bikes Of The Week: 29 January, 2017
A 500 horsepower drag bike with Chevrolet power, a Ducati-sanctioned custom Scrambler Sixty2, and a vintage-styled BMW R1200 GS built for an epic trip across Africa. We’re stretching the moto envelope this week.
Honda CB750 by Dromos Motor Works We?d thought we?d seen just about every style of CB750 build by now. And then we stumbled across this angular gem from Joseph Mulhouse?s Dromos Motor Works, and everything changed yet again.
The bike entered Joseph?s New York shop as a non-running lump of neglect just begging for new life. To that end, everything you see here has been tackled in-house. The engine was torn down, balanced, over-bored, blueprinted and meticulously put back together. The frame was de-tabbed, blasted and repainted while a new snub-nosed subframe was welded together and fitted. All of the bodywork, with its intricate angles was fab?d in-house. From there, no expense was spared in rebuilding and updating the Honda?s components to deliver a truly modern ride. You can truly lose yourself in the details on this one, so we implore you to take some time to check them out.
On his Instagram account Joseph asked one incredibly important question: ?Why everything gotta be round"? Thanks to his deft handiwork here, we have a stunning example of why it simply doesn?t.
