Custom Motorcycles
Yamaha SR500 by Custom House Stinky
This custom Yamaha SR500 is one of my favourite recent builds from Stinky, they’ve gone to a lot of trouble here to give the bike…
Nick’s Dyna by Kraus Motor Co.
This is one of those custom motorcycles that I can’t imagine anyone not liking. Dubbed “Nicks Dyna” by the team at Kraus Motor Co., the bike is a bridge across a few motorcycle-genres with elements of cruiser, sport bike and flat tracker all existing somewhere within the design.
Race Bike by Wolf Creative Customs
I love interesting engineering projects like this, it’s a race bike built by Wolf Creative Customs based out of Culver City.
The Pup by Old Empire Motorcycles
Old Empire Motorcycles is a brilliant little boutique garage based in Norfolk, England. They’re fairly new and this is their first publicly available custom motorcycle, it’s been dubbed “The Pup” in memory of the infamous WWI fighter plane, the Sopwith Pup.

Custom Sportster by Hidemo
The humble Sportster is one of the most popular bases for custom motorcycle building in the US, interestingly it’s also a wildly popular bike for tweaking within the Japanese bike building community.
BMW R75/5 Café Racer
BMW motorcycles from the ’60s and ’70s provide a somewhat unexpected platform for café racer conversions, the bikes (largely) weren’t designed as speed demons…
Scrambler Kit by Mr Martini
The Triumph Scrambler is a modern motorcycle that, with a few clever tweaks, could be genuinely great. Nicola Martini obviously agrees with this sentiment although unlike me, he has the skills and resources to actually do something about it.
Honda CB350 Café Racer by Team Scott Racing
The Honda CB350 is a fantastic platform for café racerisation. It’s a lightweight and inexpensive bike to buy, parts are easy to come by and it’s a remarkably forgiving bike to ride at speed.
TwinTrax by The German Motorcycle Authority
Leaving for a moment the unusual name of this garage and just looking at this, their “TwinTrax” motorcycle design from 2011, it’s difficult to know how to categorise their style.
