I put these up on the tracker thread, but I think they need to go up on here too.

These are from a Japanese custom shop called Gravel Crew:

those guys must have bought stock in those tail lights. Same one on almost every bike

Good call 'pills! Bikes from another culture but influenced by western types puts a unique twist on things.Always good to see something through others eyes huh? I love this Japanese/Western(not cowboy) look!

i read a magazine article on it , the front forks are standard internal spring shock AND outer spring, and one of the cylinders is dedicated to turning the starter. 48 cylinders (49 including the starter cylinder) it gets one mile to the gallon and has a half gallon tank

Personally I like the clean cafe/naked bike look. I would like to see a 550 done as a street tracker. I'm thinking about going in that direction myself. Remember the TZ 750 Roberts rode at Indy before it was banned? I looked sick and wicked at the same time.

I've been looking for a picture of a Honda 750 'tracker that was subsequently banned; anyone able to help with that?

I have an animated GIF of a 750 flat tracker crashing somewhere. I dont think it the same one that you speak of though

Yeah, Google search brings up the TZ750. One sweet racer but not a Honda. I suppose the closest so far is the SOHC's alltherightpills posted before.

If I'd known this earlier, I could've used a completely different strategy.

I dig the Gravel Crew stuff-reminds me of these guys: bratstyle.com

Nice to see flipped clubbies, too; thinking of going that route on mine...

Could someone do a photoshop mockup of this color scheme on a cb500/550/650/750/similar?

I'm really leaning in this direction for my tins when I paint them.

AND it's attractive too!

This would be popular in the coffee shop laden college town where I live.

Thanks for that post, I forwarded it several people who will either want to build one or regret ever giving me their email address.
