Skinny VRod

The stock-VRod is very bulky with a big radiator at the front and a huge combination of fender and seat. Customizers rarely are able to fix this. Roland Sands came up with a good one and in addition, he installed a turbo which usually isn't a clean thing from a visual standpoint too. All in all he ended up with a very lean, sporty package. Me like (Found at Silodrome)

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

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)
