An interesting 1979 XL 500 Motard(ish) Tracker(ish) build.

Laurent Huille sends in this intriguing build. I had a build like this in mind a few years back when one almost fell into my lap.  I would have gone in a different direction with the exhaust and headlight I think but this shows that it could have worked.

Hello,
I’m a French biker
This 1979 XLS 500 is my second “self custom bike” (pardon pour mon anglais approximatif!)
Have a good day!

A before and after pic.

Outstanding Honda mini clone “Spencer Replica” by DeakCraft Motorcycles

Look closely..  That’s not a one thousand.  It’s a one hundred.

Hat Tip to the Italian Racing Cafe Blog for scoring this one.  There’s some good links to more info on their post so check em out.   I don’t often get material directly from other blogs but this is a rare exception since many of you may not have it on your rotation.  I would LOVE to do one of these out of a small 2 stroke in an old GP style.  Too cool.

A pair of Dime City Special Hondas.

These guys build some nice customs. Two more from Riding into History.

Update: Flawless Honda CL175 Scrambler.

Update: This is obviously a CL and not a CB. Mu bad.
It’s rare to see this with a such a perfect pipe.

Another very creative “Dime City Cycles” Cafe Racer.

It’s an 88 Honda Shadow VT 800c engine.  I love “outside the box” bikes like these. You’re starting to see a lot of cafe’d Viragos out there so it’s cool to see another common V-twin platform incorporated. Nicely done.
