If the bike in the pic is Howell's, then I'm cornfused. His build thread shows Yamaha forks, not Marzocchis. And his triple clamp is one made by Rob at Voxonda... Is the bike in the pic Howell's? Did he change from the Marzocchis to Yamahas? Anyway, I'm really impressed with the bike in the photo; the Brembo calipers with Ducati(?) rotors looks lethal! RR

Not sure if this has been posted yet...saw it on ADV rider

Notes: Wheels, mono-shock, longer swing-arm and forks all from a '92 FZR 600. Dual disk front brake single rear.

Any more pics of the rusty gold.wing?

Yep that's Paul Dutra's bike. He owns Dutra's Customs in Toronto. Cool cat and a contributor over at DTT. I give him serious street cred, he rode that sucker cross country!

in my search i did find this pretty awesome Thruxton bobber .... it's the best job "hardtailing" a swingarm i've ever seen

I love this BMW. I would love to build one but man the donor bikes are way to expensive.
Here is a link to the build thread on ADV.

I goes quite well considering it is only running on one cylinder.

This one perplexes me. USD forks on a...hardtail? Stock peg location and clip-ons? Modern cruiser front tire and #$%*ty retro rear? It's confused, and I would hope not too inspiring...

But it's late, maybe I'm tired?

Hardtail? But, its got a springy seat.

My bike has lower bars on it, and a more crouched riding position, don't want rear-sets though.
Tires? ya, that was an odd choice.
Still inspiring for what was done, and looks badass, IMO.

also need to consider that we have no history on many of these bikes... some of these bikes may very well be works in progress. aren't most of ours?

I know it has an odd exhaust Heff but it just don't sound like a four cylinder. Sounds more like a 450 Honda CRF single.

I am not sure if this is RustyOlive's bike, but this video fed my addiction for the 550.. 1978 Honda CB550 "OLIVIA'

Not to mention, one of the best bike videos on the web IMHO.

RustyOlive · « **Reply #7570 on:** December 14, 2011, 07:56:31 pm »

HAHAHA.. awesome.!!
thanks for posting.. =)
kinda forgot about that video. that was shot post Olivia's facelift..
can't wait to finish building her and shoot another video with her new look. HAHAHA

Love that video!

That video is the reason I went out and bought a gopro....also, made me fall in love with the Black Keys...solid choice in music!

i think the bike is great looking but i def think you make some great observations... most chopped bikes arent made with the rideability in mind.... i wouldnt be suprised if he put the tire he wanted on the back (after it wore out)and hadnt changed the front one yet because it had some life in it.... who built this bike is there more of a back story on it?
