Triumph 1508 Hot Rod


Roberto Totti of Bologna is one of Italy’s most prolific custom bike builders, and he’s been getting a lot of attention lately on the interwebs. One of his latest motorcycles is the 1508 Hot Rod, inspired by American custom cars from the 1960s. (The 1508 comes from the date the frame was built, 15 August.) The 750cc engine comes from a Triumph T120, with the head apparently turned 180 degrees to maintain pressure in the carburetors

james hetfield "widowmaker"bike





The Widowmaker is a collaborative project between rock legend James Hetfield of Metallica, custom bike builder Kirk Taylor of Custom Design Studios, and Custom Chrome, one of the largest distributors of aftermarket parts for Harley Davidson’s.

When Custom Chrome approached Kirk and James about building a bike they jumped at the opportunity. The only stipulation to the project was that the bike could only be built using products offered in the Custom Chrome catalog; all other parts had to be hand fabricated by Kirk and James. The result is an awesome bike with a 1940’s

“Hill Climber” vibe that also incorporates 1920’s “Board Tracker” and 1960’s “Drag Racer” influences. Kirk and James have created a perfect example of what can be done by anybody with a vision, creativity, and the Custom Chrome catalog proving that you too could create your own truly one of a kind motorcycle.

retrogrades






okay folks...this is another build by Retrogrades crew, the bike started off as full dressed '97 fxdwg. Dotz, owner of the bike and the dude behind Retrogrades had a better idea about how the bike should look. So, after many nights of serious thinking, he started to work on the bike. The process included takin of unnecessary bits, some choppin and fabrication...and this is what he came up with....niceee
