It’s all about Honda this week, with a Gundam-inspired limited edition Monkey from Thailand, a murdered-out Dommie from Sweden, and a crisp XR650 supermotard from Italy. The outlier is a modern BMW GS sidecar rig that could transport two in comfort from one end of a continent to another.
Honda Dominator by Gorm Taube The evergreen Dommie is a brilliant bike for modification: it?s tough, has excellent parts support, and is relatively cheap and easy to find.
This stealthy custom is one of the best we?ve seen, and comes from Gorm Taube?a designer who lives in Gothenburg and works for Volvo. We?re not the only fans of this NX650, because the luggage brand Kriega recently used it for an ad campaign.
Gorm has been working on this bike for five years now. He started with a Yoshimura exhaust system and a new ECU to unlock extra power, then installed wider Excel rims?going down to 19 inches at the front. Since then he’s added everything from a Trail Tech speedo to new fork internals.
Range gets a boost from an Acerbis 23L fuel tank, and a new Mikuni T40 flatslide pumper carb keeps the fueling smooth. Gorm’s had two different headlight setups on there too: an 8″ Trail Tech unit (top), and a pair of killer Denali D4s (above), with a range of 800 feet.
The rest of the specs are mouthwatering too. You can examine them in detail on Gorm?s website. [Via]
