Bet that sounds ace. I was wondering if it was built for  someone like Pedrosa, as you'd have to be a midget to ride it comfortably. Very nice to look at though. Smile

CB550 by Cardsharper Customs. Being old school I can't really get my head around theTourance on the front, but I know that a blocky front tyre is necessary to appeal to hipsters.

That’s reasonably cool overall, and yeah, I know what you mean about the tyres, but what is worse than that is the tyre paint.  Tyre paint is not cool.

Just posting this bacause it's based on the original Fazer.  Make of it what you will......

To be honest I prefer the donor bike

I take my hat off to the skill that goes into making these specials, but nearly every single one just looks like the previous to me :\ .

The basic requirement seems to be the 'stripped down' look and there's only so many ways you can take everything away and keep a bike looking individual?


Re: The cool bike thread...... - fazersharp - 07-03-20

Isn't the exposed front sprocket against some kind of law, that's not going to end well with my flares.  :lol 
And I'm going to burn my legs in the summer on that exhaust when I have my shorts on.

I thought it was just me. Only rarely has any of the pictured machines touched me, but as a craftsman myself I can really admire the skills reqd to bring them about.

  But of course you're right It's foccin' hideous  :lol

Re: The cool bike thread...... - mtread - 09-03-20
