Honda CX500 Cafe Racer by Kingston Custom

Dirk Oehlerking and Kingston Custom are taking a middleweight motorcycle from the late 70s and turning it into a little golden treasure for 2014: Honda CX500 Cafe Racer. The bike’s transverse V-twin engine received a sheen of thermo-sensitive coating, while the exhaust manifold is wrapped with thermal tape.
That comfy bench seat is handmade, along with the battery box, fenders, foot brake lever, and the pint-sized fairing on top. There’s a modified Harley exhaust, footrests from an XT 600 Yamaha, stub handlebars via Fehling, a Bates headlight with a Harley cap, and tires by Avon.
