Description

   This bike was built in the past 4 months. It usually takes me around 2 months to build a bobber. his time it took me twice as long- because i moved to a new 3000 sq. ft shop and was busy with another bike.

?  

   I wanted the engine to match the frame-so everything was painted with professional paint in Black Pearl. The wheels were done in Hyper Silver. The tank was painted at an automotive shop and the CNC custom parts were made at Old school speed.

Custom 2 into 2 exhaust with a SS muffler on each side. New Michelin Commander tires. Many one of a kind parts were built specifically for this bike.

This is a show quality bike-5 of them were built in the past year and they are scattered all over USA and Canada. ven one in Europe. My shop specializes in Honda's only. Will start a build on a Moto Guzzi and a BMW later this year tho.

To check my previous builds and my shop look at my pictures.

The bike will come with 30 days limited warranty that will be applied to the parts on this bike. Not a lot of builders or shops offer any kind of warranty at all.

Clean and clear Michigan title in my name.

I will post videos of the bike in a few days-here are a few of my previous bikes. This bike has a 2 into 2 exhaust system compared to the 2 into 1 in the video-and the sound is amazing.

                                                               

This bike will fit anybody at any size from 100lbs to 240lbs without any changes to suspension. If you weigh more than 240lbs-contact me and i will install a new heavier spring.

On Feb-01-15 at 17:02:54 PST. seller added the following information:

All of my bikes are tested before they get transformed. Meaning that when the donor bike is purchased. it gets ridden for at least 50 miles. I make sure that the bike is ready for another 20 years of riding. This bike was tested thoroughly  before and after it was built. Rest assured that you will get a 100% reliable bike-with new and upgraded charging system. which is one of their weak spots. The only thing i would strongly suggest is a set of Mikuni carbs-i have not installed a set just to keep the cost down for the buyer. But every cx500 that i sold was eventually fitted with custom Mikuni carbs. The Mikuni's will cost an extra 550$. You are welcome to stop at the shop to check it in person-if you can't. lease make sure to contact me so i can answer any questions.
