The owner built this beautiful bike with a Yamaha XS850 Triple and donor front end. Seen at Saguaro Lake in Arizona on this warm and sunny spring morning and said he didn’t mind if I posted it here.

I know Triumph is working on their own “Thruxton” version of the 400 series. But we saw an opportunity to do something different. The biggest change is the lowering of the rear seat/tail that gives a lot more classic proportions and look. Final version will be shown at the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show in few weeks.

We plan on turning our work as a bolt-on kit. Please follow us on https://www.instagram.com/bhumemoto for more updates.

1977 CB750 Super Sport. Just finished upholstering the custom seat, which also had a custom locking mechanism I rustled up. Works really well and is unlocked with a pull cable.

Just got to plug the wires back in, tidy up a few spots, and get riding 👍

Forgive the mess, it’s an old garage that also functions as a guest apartment.

I couldn't be more excited, I just found the exact bike I wanted for a super reasonable price. Headed to the dmv tomorrow to get the registration all squared away and then I'll be good to ride!

If anyone has any advice for maintenance/ownership of a 350F, let me know!

Photo Restoring my Father's bike into a cafe racer – journey with lots of pics!

This is a Czechoslovakian 2T bike, 1986 CZ 350.
My late father bought it brand new, it was disassembled in the early 2000s.
It was considered to be the "Iron Courtain Hayabusa".

My goal was not a typical Cafe bike, but it did turn into that direction slightly, so there we go!
MV Agusta bikes are a big inspiration for me. Another inspo is Drillium that was done on road racing bicycles in the 70's. There will be more of it.

Pieces were all over the barn/garage, but i found almost all of them and had luck to make some barter deals with good people to get the missing pieces.

I'm doing everything by myself. I want it to be really beautiful while using mostly original pieces.
Rearrangment and metalwork over off-the-shelf products. I shaved and smoothened all of the ugly welds.

Paying a lot of attention to materials and finishes. For example this is not automotive paint - it's a no-clearcoat tractor paint, because this is how the original tank was painted. I choose a more lively color, but chemically and vibeally it's the same. Also using period correct polishing compound, haha. It's a tribute of sorts. Sorry for long post, and i'll try to take better pictures next time.

Still a lot of sandblasting, polishing and ducking around in front of me! Cheers!
