Here's a couple of shots of my buddies '69 CB570...or what's left of it. Got a 69 from the original owner who actually showed up to watch him hack it up for the "Cafe Racer" tv show on HD network. It's got an 836 kit and some CR carbs. The hubs/brakes are truly ridiculous. Not many of those stateside. Swing arm is off a Yamaha Seca. Rising sun paint - detailing on the seat. Stainless pipes that sound just amazing. Not fair.
Enjoy

is it selfish to ask for more pictures of this bike? It's f*cking badass.

I'll sort through my email and get him to snap some more pics.

What's a cb570. Is this some rare motor honda released very little info on. Motor looks 750 to me

. Srry had to. Beautiful bike. I would like to see more pics as well.

very cool indeed.. I love the "in progress" shot. I remember seeing a pic of the rendering in the inspiration thread a while back and wondered if it ever was built. Def in for more pics to.. would love to see a full side shot

That is a thing of beauty. What rear hub is that?

Toxic · « **Reply #8 on:** June 09, 2011, 04:02:56 am »

Yes please, more pics. That has to be the smallest front disk I have ever seen.

Any details on it?

alternativeauto · « **Reply #9 on:** June 09, 2011, 04:58:47 am »

Absolutely LOVE it!!! That's going to be a fun ride.

The hubs/discs are from a French company Beringer. They make aircraft brakes as well. Vented, pretty cool. I'd hate to know what he paid for them.
Not sure how he mounted the calipers - I'll give him a ring and see how he did it. Might be a few days, he's driving around on the "Power Tour" somewhere.

I have to say, I'm not a fan of Cafe racer bikes but this is a big step aside really. Super clean and super fresh

Er, is that it for the air intakes?

greenjeans · « **Reply #12 on:** June 09, 2011, 06:16:22 am »

Velocity stacks with the screens that came with the carbs. That's it. Sexy.

Looks KICKASS. I like the spoked rims better than the mags in the mock up diagram. Chopping up a 1969.... I think I would of started with something a little newer but hey it looks great!!

Syscrush · « **Reply #15 on:** June 09, 2011, 07:24:43 am »

I dug up some info/hype on those wacky inboard brakes and hubs:

jneuf · « **Reply #16 on:** June 09, 2011, 07:57:43 am »

that is a gorgeous bike...love the paint scheme!!

It could just be the angle, so I might be seeing it wrong, but does the exhaust exit right onto the rearsets?

greenjeans · « **Reply #17 on:** June 09, 2011, 11:46:44 am »

I'm usually opposed to hacking up the early models myself, but this one wasn't too original, but still very nice. I'm trying to talk him out of the extra original parts... the bike had a nice set of 300's and some good side covers. He's one of those guys that will hack anything - and I mean anything.

The pipes are just under the exhaust. They just fired it last week - not sure how many miles he has on it.

zzpete · « **Reply #18 on:** June 09, 2011, 01:30:26 pm »

Save those old parts and sell em to me!!!

couple more shots taken at the Barber Motorsports Museum. Lucky bastards got the track to themselves for a day.

Those things are bonkers... So nice.

Wow!! I bet they run as nice as they look!!

paulages · « **Reply #22 on:** June 21, 2011, 12:37:55 pm »

eeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh.... my mama told me, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

Nice looking engine!

Really? · « **Reply #23 on:** June 21, 2011, 12:45:07 pm »

Looks like the frame was chopped a bit up front to angle the tank like it is.

greenjeans · « **Reply #24 on:** June 21, 2011, 02:36:05 pm »

All the geometry is the same - basically just moved the tank mounts. Oil is in the swing arms.

They had some "real" riders/racers cut them loose on the Barber Track....from all accounts, everyone that rode them want to go home with them.
