Posts 206 OT Dave Cook inline 4 custom With all this talk we do about swapping and adapting this or that, I knew you guys would like this bike from Cook customs. They took a CB550 engine and turned it sideways, cut away the transmission and added a BMW trans and Yamaha drive shaft unit. All this was done so expertly you would swear it was a 1920's inline 4. Add in the springer fork, perimeter disk brakes custom exhaust and intake ect. ect. Does this inspire?

Didn't this guy build a copper colored bike last year? Maybe a trike? 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier. Quick Reference    Report

They had a Norton powered bike with lots of copper and bare oxidized steel. It looked quite "organic" to my eye, not a strait line to be found. I liked that one too. Rusty 1981 CX500C    Report
