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.

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.
