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

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?

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.

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

AND it's attractive too!  :D 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.  ::)
