GPM - CX500 'Morning Wood'

From the same guys that brought you Lunacy and The Brat - comes the 7th Build from our good friends Garage Project Motorcycles - The Morning Wood. Working with Hand Made Vintage Kustoms these guys built A Honda CX500 on a minimal budget for a customer keen to fang the streets of Perth. 

  • Engine was left stock as were carbs and airbox.
  • Wrapped the stock headers and attached mufflers off a Harley Sportster.
  • Lowered the front forks as low as they'd go.
  • Chopper headlight from Lowbrow Customs.
  • Bought a red faced Daytona speedo for the bike but Brett wanted to use one he had lying around instead.
  • Ace bars and Kung Fu grips from Dime City/Biltwell.
  • Tank is from the CX Custom as are the side covers.
  • Seat unit is custom made.
  • Painted the stock wheels and fitted 3.5" at the front and 4" Firestone Deluxe at the back
  • Indicators are from Dime City.

 

"Budget was tiny so we kept it very raw, very basic. It goes, it stops, it puts a smile on the owners face and it makes old people shake their heads."
