2 Honda CB750 by Vibrazioni Art Design

Publicado por Alex Ramon / / / 2 comentarios

The Honda CB750 has become the go-to bike for customization. It has been chopped and molded into countless cafe racers, scramblers and some cycles we’re not even so sure about. Most of us here at Selectism are not gear heads — but we find redeeming qualities in aesthetics. That’s where this beautiful custom CB750 comes into play.Meet Vibrazioni Art Design, an Italy-based boutique firm with a knack for creating pieces like furniture from repurposed branded oil barrels. Their latest endeavor is this reworked CB750 featuring original logos from Pennzoil.

This bike was commissioned by Uli Bree, the Tridays mastermind, to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the event. That’s why the name of the bike..”Tri” for Tridays and “Ten” for the 10th anniversary. The Tridays is one of the greatest Triumph events in the world with thousands of enthusiasts of the english brand who stays 3 days in an small town in Austria enjoying concerts, races, tours, beer and friendship,..

 The donor bike was a Triumph Thruxton EFI from 2014…a bike with a electronic fuel injection , can bus, 865cc air cooled parallel-twin  and 70Hp at 7.400 rpm.
The inspiration came from the old speedway motorcycles which had an small tank, single seat, a very characteristic rear fender and low center of gravity to drifting easily.
So the main mods was to find and adpat and smaller tank , but to do that we had to change the original fuel pump (which is located inside the tank) by an external one, then we shorten the subframe and welded a final curve to fit the solo seat.
The tank was polished and coating with a clear varnish (the same for the fenders)
An small speedometer was located on the frame in order to leave the handlebar “clean” with only the switchs from Motogadget, a classic tommaselli throttle a new brake master cylinder.  New air filtres and front light from Free Spirits makes the racing look and changing the mapping we get some extra horsepower.
We build new fenders specially the rear one with side plate for the number which is very characteristic from the speedway motorcycles. For lowering the bike we mount a shorter Hagon Nitro rear shocks.
Because we couldn’t mount the reserve fuel sensor inside the tank we add an old style reserve visor on the right side of the tank so you can see the fuel level.
For the tyres we got a Bridgestone Trail Wing TW54 and TW53 which gives a very good grip for drifting on dust tracks.
The exhaust collector was cut it and we added a short silencer that gives a stunning sound.
The build tooks 5 months work and we would like to thanks  to Albert and Lucas from Solo Triumph  Barcelona who made all the electronic part and  Brusco (a Barcelona artist) who painted the rear tire lettering.

The combination of craftsmanship and creative design is fascinating.

For the design, Crd  has started to change the Gas tank of a Bultaco Mercurio 175 GT 1976, painted in two colours, blue and cream, giving it a vintage flair, and from this gas tank alignment and design the rest of the bike has a lowered frame, rear seat design, lower front suspension and change down by Öhlins, the bike fits a Coker Diamond 18"carburetor of 40 mm.

Es alucinante lo que se puede hacer con una Honda Dominator NX 650, una moto con esencia trail, muy versátil tanto para montaña como para carretera y con suficiente cilindrada. Para el diseño, Crd ha partido del cambio de deposito de una Bultaco Mercurio 175 Gt de 1976, pintado a dos colores, azul y crema, que le dan un toque muy vintage, y a partir de este deposito alinear y diseñar el resto de la moto como bajar el bastidor, parte trasera, diseño del asiento, bajar suspensión delantera y cambiar trasera por una Öhlins, la moto calza unas Coker Diamond 18", carburador 40 mm. Keihin, filtro K&N, este sinuoso tubo esta hecho a mano por GR, una pasada no creéis? Esta Dominator, es sin duda alguna, una de mis preferidas y ahora mismo me doy cuenta que lo digo cada vez que Crd nos deleita con una nueva! ahhhg! Por cierto el logotipo del tapón es diseño mio ;)
