sneak peek: Honda CB360 caferacer
Sneak preview of our latest finished build, straight from the Flakekings headquarters where the finest builders and gearheads joined forces to come up with a racer, a damn fine one.
Some specs; a fully rebuild engine with reworked and ported heads, high compression pistons, full electronic ignition, all bead blasted and polished parts.
Classy painted frame and high end gadgets like that Motogadget 85mm motoscope classic tachometer.
Stainless steel flawless headers, polished to the max.
One off footcontrols from stainless steel.
High shouldered aluminum rims, stainless steel spoked over a Marzocchi hub in the front and a stock hub in the rear, with a classic Avon Speedmaster front and Coker diamond threaded rear tire.
A skillfully painted classic polyester racetank and seat combo by Royal Jack to give it some shine

Honda cb360 update
So, our sweet caferacer project is coming along.
The sweet hubs where polished, Morad aluminum rims are laced with stainless steel spokes, all other wheel parts are ready for mounting.
This week tires will be fitted, so the mock-up for fitting the tank and seat combo can take place.
The engine was put together, covers polished, bolts torqued down, still waiting for some parts like carbs and electronic ignition, it'll be running two brandspanking new Mikuni carbs.

Another Honda! Japan is taking over!
Some time ago Jeff contacted us.
Jeff purchased a very cool 70's style Honda CB750 chopper some time ago and the bike needed some work.
Some engine work (leaking gaskets, sloppy carbs and some wiring) will be done but only after we succesfully modified this fine piece of chopper history.
A Girder front end was found wich will complete this chopper, we machined new framecups to hold modern style timken bearings, we fabricated spacers for the smooth rimmed 21" spoolhubbed front wheel and Roll Without Controll wizard Giel bended some rusty tubing into a fabulous six-bend handlebar, needles to say that these bars where finished with high quality show-chrome.
Some more modifications are on its way!

| The girder, still waiting for the perfect geometry set-up, the thing with girders is that they are frame specific and they can not be "just fitted" in a different sized frame, the height of the stem affects the geometry of the parallelogram, kinda crucial with these types of forks |
 |
| A quick mock-up |
 |
| temporary bars and riser, for mock-up purposes |
 |
| A smooth rimmed 21" with a spoolhub, like a wet dream *disclaimer; we are aware that the tire is the wrong way around* |
 |
| You gotta love CB 750 engine! |
 |
| Stylish spoolhub, matching spacers, by the way, it was a pain in the ass to find the right size bearings for this hub/axle combo. |
