Flipping through a recent (August 2010) issue of Classic Bike Guide, I came across another one of those amazing home builds that look like a perfectly restored factory model, though this model never was. It's a BSA B66 V-Twin, a twin built from two B33 top ends. The builder is Doug Fraser of Melbourne, Australia, one of those guys who looks at an engine, has a thought that a … [Read more...]
Volksmotorrad – Secret VW Powered WWII Motorcycle – or Post Apocalypse Custom
The Volksmotorrad would have been perfect for the Germans chasing Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, or perhaps, as the builder fantasizes, it could have been a secret project from Ferdinand Porsche built for Rommel in WWII. I think it's ideal for the post apocalypse when motorcycles are cobbled together from whatever you have lying around. In any case, what we have here … [Read more...]

The original WL engines were reliable but not ideal for riding around on today's roads, combined with 3 speeds and a foot clutch, you had an interesting, but very vintage ride. Well, today I receive an email from France with some really … [Read more...]
CB550 Cafe Overkill from Jeff Stephens
When you think of modifying an old Honda CB, the choice for many is the CB750, but recently, we've seen more examples of builders using the CB450 or the CB550 as a starting point, and it makes you wonder why we haven't seen more of them before.
