Heiwa Honda CD250U

  The Japanese custom scene is full of excellent builders, and one of my favorite is Heiwa.  This Honda CD250 is an example of their work, simple yet stunning.  Every element is in balance, and each compliments the whole.

Auto Fabrica GT550

  Hailing from London, Auto Fabrica’s first build, called ‘Type 1’, is this well done Kawasaki GT550.  Subdued is a good word to describe the overall feel, as the details do not overwhelm, yet reward those who really take a closer look.  While it really needs some turn signals, it’s a great build, and proves that substance triumphs over flash very time.

Polish CB750

  The popularity of Honda’s CB750 among custom builders is worldwide, as evidenced by this creation from Poland.  The fact that a design from the late sixties is still popular today is fascinating, and it’s no wonder Motorcyclist Magazine choose the Honda as the motorcycle of the Century.  This cafe racer is just about perfect, in my opinion, and has that simple, classy look that speaks volumes about the builder.

Trophy Clothing Chief

  Some of the real vintage iron out there makes fine customs, like this Indian Chief.  I’m used to seeing Chief’s with the large fender flares, yet this build only has it on the rear wheel, and it gives it a very distinct look.  I look at this bike and think of taking a journey down some of the old dirt roads out in the country, passing by people and houses that have stayed pretty much the same since this cycle was new.
