This 1976 Honda CB550 Super Sport has been kept true to form by Steel Bent Customs, the addition of a few minor and very tasteful modifications have created a bike that would fit in perfectly in both the late-70’s and the present day.
Michael Mundy, head builder at Steel Bent, had this to say about their latest build;
We kept her original orange color (not specifically for Halloween), we just thought it was a sexy look. We painted the frame & engine to match & worked over the rear-sets, Clubman handlebars, full turn signals, fiberglass seat cowl, and a 4-into-1 modified exhaust.
Any regular reader of Silodrome will know that I’m a big fan of minimal, highly functional custom bikes and this build is a poster child for that genre.
The bike is currently listed on eBay with no reserve here, it’s currently sitting at just $2,550 with 4 days left to bid.






Ben has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Silodrome was founded by Ben back in 2010, in the years since the site has grown to become a world leader in the alternative and vintage motoring sector, with millions of readers around the world and many hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
