Seriously guys, some bikes should not be displayed in public: they're almost indecently beautiful and this hurts. Take Steel Bent Customs Convertible Honda CB750, for example.
Of course, some will think "oh no, not another BCB750, please" but we can almost hear their jaws dropping as they see the Convertible. The name was chosen because of the very dual nature of the bike: it can be used for rocketing solo through fast turns, or it can accommodate a pillion for two-up fun on the winding countryside roads.
Michael Mundy and his Steel Bent crew wanted to go creative with the bike, but without hacking and sawing too much into the Nighthawk. However, the rear of the bike had to be cleaned up in order to meet the brief specs, so everything went away, replaced by a chunky, aggressive and almost MotoGP-like 4-into-1 underseat exhaust about which Michael says it sounds as good as it looks.
A large monoshock was mounted and fitted in perfectly, its red spring matching the red aftermarket conical air filters and looking like a million bucks. A motocross bar replaced the stock one and smaller instruments came in place, dwarfed by the massive tank and large, screen-protected headlight.
Steel bent Customs also upgraded the livery of the Convertible: black for the engine, frame, fork and rims, shiny piano black for the tank and miniature rear cowl and few silver accents beautifully matched to the red pinstripe. THIS is a beautiful motorcycle! Spotted on the Bike Shed.
