A fully custom one-off cafe racer done in period style. 300 miles on this complete rebuild. Every nut, bolt, gasket, bushing, piece of metal on this bike has been replaced, restored or refurbished. If there are questions, ask. Bike featured on numerous famous sites and blogs- e-mail for links. Bike started off as a Suzuki T500 Titan 2 stroke twin. very hard to find. The donor had 4000 miles. Clear title Engine completely rebuilt. Crank/ top end done by Bill Bune in MN. +1 over Wiseco pistons/ rings. Engine cases vapor blasted and side covers were polished to mirror finish. New clutch installed. Carbs vapor blasted/ rebuilt/ rejetted with UNI pod filters. Oil injection pump rebuilt with NOS oil lines (cost a fortune). All new cables, modern bearings (wheels, steering stem, swingarm). XS750 dent-free tank sourced. Lined with Caswell (the gold standard for tank sealers). New Petcocks, NOS fuel cap. Seat is aluminum TIG welded with black tuck and roll upholstery pan that is removable. Custom made two stroke oil tank under seat with high quality fittings. Wheels were made using polished NOS hubs, NOS spokes/ rims. These wheels alone cost me $1200 thru Paul Miller Suzuki. Mounted are brand new Avon AM26 tires front/ rear (the gold standard for vintage performance tires). NOS front chrome fender (cost a fortune), rear sub-fender protect from dirt/ debris. Expansion Chambers (exhaust) from Higgspeed UK, custom made. stainless steel for durable, rust-free, mirror finish. Bespoke Rearsets from Titan performance in UK - polished stainless steel. Electronical system wired from scratch for reliable, trouble free bike. Brand new PowerDynamo electronic ignition setup that cost $500. Includes new regulator, permanent magnet rotor, alternator setup, high performance coils and wires. This produces a fat, consistent spark. Alternator kicks out enough juice to power all lights without the use of a battery. Capacitor installed to smooth out voltage, but again, this bike does not use (or need) a battery! All new switches for kill, headlight, turn signals. new ignition switch.Features new headlight with low/high beams. A trick rear light setup called X-arc duo. These super tiny, billet aluminum lights look like the smallest turn signal you have seen. Have dual color LED lights- function as Running, stop lights (red), turn signals (amber)- all in one. Top all this off with the paint and powder. Everything was re-chromed or powder coated super chrome with clear top coat. The tank and seat were done by Artistimo in charcoal metallic with green candy flake and silver metal flake accents. All stripes and logos hand painted! This thing shines in the sun!Starts on first or second kick. Runs, shifts, and drives like a new bike- as it should since everything is brand new!
