Sanctuary Cycles
« on: May 19, 2015, 03:44:31 AM »
 Are any of you familiar with Sanctuary? These guys build some of the cleanest, baddest bikes I've seen. I love my middleweight Hondas, but I'd sell everything in the garage for one of these.
 Mostly Kawasakis, but I've seen a couple of DOHC Hondas they've done, too. A lot can be learned from the attention to detail and how understated most of them are.

 I'd post a few pics, but I can't decide which one is best! Click on each gallery and then scroll through the pictures. I'd love to see which ones you like.

They make some of the most extravagant restomods I've seen.  The restoration purists probably don't care for them but they are pretty spectacular and over the top in terms of components and improvements.
