A pair of xr600's built to travel from Canada to the tip of Argentina, the goal for the build was to keep as many components stock on the bikes as possible and focus the effort on improving reliability, durability, riding distance, and comfort. I started by building stronger reinforced subframes with integrated racks and panier mounts, a wider thicker seat was made by Ginger at New Church Moto. The gas tanks are custom made 6.5 gallon units that keep the weight as low and central as possible, custom sealed air boxes where made and connect to a snorkel that breathes at the top of the gas tank for deep water crossings. Other features are 1.5 gallon aux gas tank on the rear left side, custom exhaust and headlight mounts.
Built to be a daily work horse and loaded up on the weekends for adventures through the backroads of the pacific north west. The suspension was upgraded with a set of lowered forks off a 2006 dr650, a custom rotor was made to adapt the stock bmw 19"wheel to the large DR caliper. In the rear a new subframe was made with arched bends to match the hand made fender, a new seat was made by Ginger at New Church Moto and a rack was added for luggage. High clearance pipes where custom made from u bends as well as the megaphone mufflers, new foot controls where made to work with the new exhaust. CNC machined levers and throttle where made in house as well as the spun taillight. Eli at Lemolo baggage made the custom canvas panniers.
1976 cb750 built to have a clean and vintage feel, removing clutter and making continuous lines flow. The subframe has been bobbed and customized to hold the oil tank and battery box , a hand made tail pan was shaped and a seat was made by Ginger at New Church Moto. Custom lugged clip ons where made and a set of hand made lever and throttle complete the controls.
A simple clean hardtail for jamming around town. A full loop hardtail frame was made in house and welded up our frame jig. fender mounts and a stainless sissy bar where made along with one of our spun taillights. Up front a set of lugged pullback bars where made, also running one of our cnc machined throttles and clutch lever. To complete the build a full brushed stainless exhaust system has welded up.
