Today I desire to acquaint you lot a classic cafe racer based on a 1976 HONDA CB500 Four, a reinterpretation of a Japanese classic. It represents a existent delineate of piece of occupation solid unit of measurement affair. In fact, Kaspeed Custom Motorcycles is the projection of a begetter together with his ii sons.

It's Jimmi Dressel who tells us well-nigh this projection together with their work

I would similar to innovate myself together with our workshop to you lot briefly. My shout is Jimmy together with together amongst my twin blood brother Mick together with our dad Karsten nosotros construct bikes inward our workshop named Kaspeed Custom Motorcycles, or the curt shape Kaspeed Moto. We are from the dry reason of Saxony inward Germany. My dad's passion for motorcycles started inward the 1970s together with when me together with my blood brother in conclusion got our wheel licenses, the passion reignited. This is the forth wheel nosotros built nether our Kaspeed Moto create inward our novel workshop.

About the Bike:
We knew that this projection would live on a challenge for us, when nosotros received the wheel almost completely disassembled. Our customer, who industrial plant inward the Swiss banking sector, but was born inward Germany, acquired the wheel some fourth dimension ago, too never riding it himself earlier the customization. Not fifty-fifty a fuel tap or a chain came amongst it. But on the other hand, the wheel was mechanically fine after nosotros spot it dorsum together inward club to foremost working on it. 

We envisioned the CB500 to live on a classic racer amongst all traditional cafe racer vogue elements such equally a depression together with slightly forrard stance, distinct direct lines, clip-ons together with a classic spot cowl. Upgraded brakes for a amend seize amongst teeth together with functional tires for amend route exercise were planned equally well. The concept stage together with the whole planning was a existent pleasance amongst our laid-back client. My blood brother did a rendering for the Honda, similar nosotros ever exercise for each bike. It's a bang-up together with real useful tool inward the workshop, too. We similar our builds to await similar they could cause got come upwards from a manufactory rather than a shed workshop.

 

We decided to proceed the 4-into-1 exhaust together with the backwards relocation of the footrest organization was also a goodness idea, bearing inward hear the depression together with forrard riding spot nosotros were aiming for. Moreover, nosotros changed a lot on the bike. I could create an endless listing of modifications. First of all, the ancient forepart brake had to become for a newer double disc brake setup from a CB400N amongst to a greater extent than modern discs installed. This also includes dissimilar forks, triple trees together with the installation of fork boots giving to a greater extent than optical weight to the forepart end. Together amongst Fehling clip-ons, refurbished handlebar switches, novel Probrake levers, LSL brake fluid reservoir together with the Acewell chrome speedometer the forepart goal received the modern technology scientific discipline acquit upon nosotros were aiming for. Furthermore, the classic six-and-a-half-inch headlight emphasizes the forepart from all viewing angles.

On the parent goal of the wheel nosotros cause got been real restricted amongst frame modifications. Only kid changes could live on done inward club to register the Honda inward Switzerland afterwards. Anyway, nosotros managed to create clean out the frame triangle completely. After the whole frame was de-tabbed, nosotros customized an aftermarket spot cowl to our liking, fit together with length. We also lifted the dorsum of the gas tank yesteryear an inch together with aligned the spot to it to create a perfectly direct together with forrard leaning lower tank line, which is a must cause got for a classic cafe motorcycle. The custom upholstery of the spot is a perfect match, including a beautiful diamond run upwards pattern. Light brownish genuine leather together with a stitched logo were used yesteryear a local upholsterer. Matching the leather color are the brownish prophylactic grips. The parent goal is finished off amongst a classic LED tail calorie-free integrated into the spot cowl for a super create clean together with unique style.

In price of color, nosotros wanted to become amongst a real typical monochrome system to proceed the pigment simple, letting the shapes speak, spell incorporating our customer's wishing to cause got some fine golden details. Just 1 of them is the novel chain. The engine was painted black, spell adding golden details on the side covers together with valve caps. All other dark parts together with the frame were pulverisation coated amongst a matt finish. The gas tank together with spot cowl received a fashionable 'Silver Tempest' pigment task taken from Bentleys color range. We exercise all the pigment piece of occupation professionally in-house, since I am a trained automotive refinisher. Aside from that, the gas tank features a gold-black Honda emblem. We added a 3D printed KASPEED logo badge inward the cockpit, which perfectly links the classic cafe racer appearance of the wheel amongst the modern technology scientific discipline which is available to wheel builders these days.

As nosotros completely stripped the bike, nosotros refurbished all worn parts together with integrated the novel electronic components. While nosotros hid everything nether the seat, the lightweight lithium-ion battery was located nether the cowl. Motogadget m.blaze disc handlebar blinkers were installed for the forepart together with Kellerman Atto Dark for the rear, which are arguably the smallest certified indicators on the marketplace correct now. The wheels were laced amongst novel stainless spokes together with got dark rims for a stronger entrance. This await is also supported live on the novel Continental ClassicAttack tires, which are handmade inward FRG for classic bikes together with perfect treatment capabilities. The iv Keihin carbs cause got also been ultrasonic cleaned, restored, together with re-jetted amongst the installed pod filter. These changes arrange the novel intake together with exhaust setup to create the startup together with running overnice together with smooth. Even the audio is quite impressive. Of course, the Honda is fully road-legal inward Germany.

With the delivery of the wheel this week, everything is gear upwards for the European spring, which is only to a greater extent than or less the corner these days. In fact, nosotros already got a novel Honda CB750 from the same customer, who wants us to customize it equally well. Besides that, nosotros cause got our real ain project. It volition live on a to a greater extent than modern approach to a cafe racer, based on a '96 Honda CB Sevenfifty. We programme to create this projection inward a real express series, where nosotros desire to involve our hereafter customers inward some details. So, in that location volition live on to a greater extent than Honda builds coming from us afterward this year.
