Very interesting Framework (Found at KustomKing. More pictures at RocketGarage)

XS 650 StreetTracker
A very nice StreetTracker built. It's so clean that it's hard to imagine that the basis is nearly 30 years old. (Found at BikeExif)

Vodka Bike
It takes some nuts to mix up an old DKW frame from 1938 with a four cylinder powerplant and actual brakes. The result is just impressing. Not only from a technical point of view but also from a visual.
Great bike from Russia (Found at Pipeburn)

Black & Gold Bol d'Or
Stumbled across this sweet CB 750 Bol d'Or build today. Pretty similar to mine (even in details). Not sure about the 4in1 and the paint though (Found at RocketGarage)

The Pastranas got a Harley
What do you expect when Roland Sands builds a Harley for MotoX-Freestyler Travis Pastrana and his Competition Skater wife Lyn-Z? Well, something light and... sporty. Glad to see that Roland jumped over his shadow and built a Sporty which does not just sum up the Sportster-part he's selling. (Found at RolandSands)

Classy V-Rod
The V-Rod has a nice engine from a performance perspective. But the big radiator and weird intake make it hard to customize and... look good. Wonder-Bikes succeeded, giving the ugly V-Rod a classy CaféRacer touch (Found at Silodrome)

Caffed Big Block
A nice combination of Sportster-lines with a BigBlock. Nice fabrication skills though (Found at CroCustoms)

Stealth Yamaha
Usually I don't post Choppers or Cruisers here but this bike is sick as sh*t. As far as I can see, it has a 1700 or 1900 Yamaha V-Twin, dual knob tyres(!), a girder fork, gatling exhaust and it looks like the ride, Batman really should use (Found at TheNewCafeRacerSociety)

Bol d'Or Caféracer
Finally it's done! Today I completed my '81 Honda CB 750 Bol d'Or Caféracer. You say "a biker's work is never done" but I always have a clear picture of my bikes in mind and when I reached that, I only do minor stuff and leave it as is. This bike won't undergo major changes anymore.
Major upgrades were:
- Shaved rear with custom glasfibre rear and seat
- Matteblack paintjob with hand painted ("sharpie") skull-theme and vintage seventies Honda-badges
- Lowered frontend with clip-on handlebar, turnsignals and crappy mirrors
- Cleaned up electrics with selfmade mini-battery on swingarm
- All-in-one instrument with electronic speedo/tach and small headlight with a grille
- Megaphone exhaust
- SevenFifty-brakecylinder and reinforced clutch
- A few zipties, a bit of tape, bolts and stuff here and there ;-)

One bad, bad XR
If I'd have to buy a new bike today, it would be the XR. And I would mod it somehow this way. Great build (More at ShawSpeedAndCustom)

Custom Bonneville
An interesting Caféracer. Less traditional but more sporty and fighteresque with actual upgrades like brakes and monoshock (More at BikeExif)

BMW R75/6 CaféRacer
There are a bunch of old Beemer CaféRacers around and most of them don't really kick (in my eyes). But this one is just plain beautiful (More at BikeEXIF)

Neat Sporty
Love that skinny frame and details like the combined oil/gastank. Nice paintjob as well (Found at RocketGarage)

Oh lala! Beautiful 750!
Very nice built. Too much engineering for my taste and not enough retro for a stylish ride but very beautiful. (Found at RocketGarage)

Pushing the limit for performance Sportys
Avanzare by Asterisk Customs from Japan. Japanese just build the best US-bikes... (Found at RolandSands)

Terrifying twin engined bike
Stumbled across this and I have to say that the styling is definitely unique. 2.7l capacity and 160hp ain't bad either (Found at Silodrome)

XJ 600 from Hell
Micha, a good friend of mine, actually carries his XJ600 to the grave with a blown up engine. I never really liked that bike but I didn't imagine that somebody could make THIS out of it. If he wouldn't need the money from the sale, I'd try to get my fingers on it. Insane! (Found at BikeExif)

Gorgeous Guzzi "Ipothesys"
Sometimes customizers build bikes that are so iconic and well done that you wonder why the manufacturer missed to build it for decades... (Found at BikeExif)

Bonneville Tracker
I love the tracker-style. I love Triumph Bonnevilles. I love this bike. Too bad it's only for the closed dirttrack... (Found at SideBurn)
Modern Caféracer 749 Duc
A nice and modern interpretation of the Caféracer Style. A 749 Ducati without the plastic and with some nice add-ons. Love the open Desmo (Found at RocketGarage)

Phat Sporty
Definitely a combination of parts and style that I haven't seen yet. Something in between Caféracer and Bobber. Me like! (Found at BikeExif)

1st cool Honda Shadow
I don't like Honda Shadows. Especially the old ones. This was a Honda Shadow. An old one. And it just calls me a liar (Found at BikeExif)

Awesome Build KR GT1 by ChopRods
Very unique lines. Somewhere in between Supermoto, Caféracer and Chopper (Found at KustomKing, Specs here)
Vintage BMW Custom
Just love how the nicely modified and slammed vintage bodywork sums up with big wheels (Found at S.F.F.S.)

Classy T140 Triumph
Nicely done. I love these wheels (polished discs with vintage-threaded whitewall tyres)... even when they don't really fit to that kinda bike (Found at Pipeburn)

Retro... hub steering WTF?!
Hub steering is known to be technically pretty advanced and only seen on modern bikes or studies. This one calls me liar and combines Hub steering with a neat retro caféracer-look (Found at PipeBurn)

The finest piece of bike i've seen for months... years!
I always loved the Norton Commando. It is my favourite vintage bike. Union Motorcycles decided to slightly rework it and the result is da bomb! (Found at RocketGarage)
