Kitsune II
1976 CB750 cafe racer, built to be flogged.
The story
The build
The CB750 is the most over-customized motorcycle on earth, which makes doing it properly harder, not easier.
We kept the things that make it a CB750 — the four pipes, the sound, the honest engineering — and got rid of everything that made it a 1976 motorcycle. New wiring, new charging system, electronic ignition, and a front end off an early-2000s sportbike with a hand-machined triple to make it fit.
The tank is the original steel, stripped, straightened, and painted deep green with a hand-laid gold stripe. The seat is a one-off in oxblood leather. The bike weighs 421 pounds and stops like a modern motorcycle, which the original very much did not.

We take the bikes everyone else parts out — CB750s, XS650s, KZ900s — and give them the attention they were never shown new.
