AFT Customs Honda CB750 "Sentoh"

Winner 2011 World Championships of Custom Bike Building

“Sentoh” is Japanese for “beginning. and although this wasn’t the first highly modified bike that AFT Customs had built. it certainly put the Jackson. California shop on the map as a serious. innovative player in the custom-bike arena.

A contemporary take on the Honda CB750 Four. Sentoh was created by AFT to compete in the 2011 World Championships of Custom Bike Building in Sturgis. South Dakota. There in the bastion of the American V-twin. Sentoh wowed the judges and scored a runaway first place in the prestigious Performance Custom category. That trophy was validated by a stunning Best-in-Show performance at the long-running L. A. Calendar Bike Show. the first time a Japanese machine had been so honored. More awards and worldwide press/web coverage followed. including the cover of the 2013 Iron & Lace calendar.

Titled as a 1975. there’s not much remaining of the original Honda. The frame was totally reworked into a perimeter-style design with suspended fuel tank. while the hand-fabricated rear seat cowl pulls double-duty as the engine’s oil tank. The engine itself was treated to an 836cc kit and breathes through a single Mikuni carburetor attached to a custom four-tract intake manifold. Sidewinder-style headpipes wend their way alongside the cylinders and through the frame to terminate in a pair of Leo Vince exhaust canisters. Suspension was updated with inverted forks from a Yamaha YZF-R1; out back a pair of Race Tech shocks work through a braced swingarm. Modern Beringer brakes. notably a six-piston caliper up front. bring Sentoh to safe. sure stops.

With just 100 miles logged since construction. Sentoh remains in pristine. show-ready condition. Part caf?-racer. part bobber and part scrambler with unmatched build-quality. this most decorated of Honda CB750 customs is now ready for a new owner. Reserve price has been set at a realistically attainable number. certainly nowhere near the cost of Sentoh's original build. Included in the sale are a build book with photo discs. a collection of magazines & posters featuring the bike. and various show placards.
