Honda's VF500F Interceptor may have been considered the best handling motorcycle of the 1980's, ut its styling was rather run of the mill. Fast forward 30 years and its square tubular frame and plastic bodywork looks about as impressive as VHS reruns of MacGyver. So where do you begin when you've got a VF500F sitting in your workshop and the desire to create a cool Cafe Racer?"As usual I wanted to make it look like a traditional Cafe Racer, ut somewhat outside of the box." says Craig. "I planned most of it in my head and because I do all the metal work and fabrication I don’t need to rely on drawings."
"One of the first things I decided to do was run the air intake through my custom gas tank, hich was quite a challenge." Honda's V4 engine configuration sits the carb inlets under the tank so channeling air straight through it was the most direct method, espite creating some design and functionality challenges.This bike was featured at the 2016 Mama Tried Invitational show in Milwaukee, IThis bike is available for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early,thanks and good luck!
