CB550

I’m happy to post another cool build by a true shed builder. It’s build by Chris Brennan and based on a 1978 Honda CB550. Chris was looking at this machine for almost 25 years now, while it was rusting away in the garage. With a mechanical background, Chris figured out that […]

As promised at the end of 2016, I’m trying to post more projects from “shed builders”, “one-timers” and hobbyists (and guys with 2 left hands like myself). I hope that I can inspire others to create their own machine some day, just like Nicolas Pommier from Dijon, France. Which is in […]

Our very first post starts with a gorgeous bike from top brewer Cognito Moto: the CB550 Café Racer. It’s maybe not new on the web (the bike was build in 2013), but it’s still one of the better cafe racer build of the Honda CB550. Certainly one of our favorite designs. […]
