Description

This listing is for booking a Honda cx500 BBCR bobber-cafe. The bike will be finished in 2 months and delivered to your door using a shipping company from Uship(extra fee applies)


A 50% down payment is required when the build is booked-the balance is due when the bike is finished and ready to be shipped or picked up. So the full balance is not required when placing an order.



Any combination of colors can be used-contact the shop for more details.

Here are some parts and prices that can be added before the build begins:


-Modern inverted front forks suspension-yamaha r1 or r6, onda cbr600rr or 1000rr. 1200$ extra

-Spoke 17'' wheels-1200$ extra

-Cafe racer seat and cap-custom made to order-1000$



I wanted the engine to match the frame-so everything was painted with professional paint in Black Pearl.The wheels were done in Hyper Silver. The tank was painted at an automotive shop and the aluminum custom parts were turned on the lathe or CNC-ed.

Custom 2 into 2 exhaust with a SS muffler on each side.New Michelin Commander tires.Many one of a kind parts were built specifically forthis bike.

This is a show quality bike-5 of them were built in the past year and they are scattered all over USA and Canada,even one in Europe.My shop specializes in Honda's only. Will start a build on a Moto Guzzi and a BMW later this year tho.


To check the previous builds and the shop look at the pictures from more info or contact us thrueBay messages.


The bike will come with 30 days limited warranty that will be applied to the parts on this bike.Not a lot of builders or shops offer any kind of warranty at all.


Clean and clear Title.


Here are some videos of this and previous built bikes:

Shipping is buyers responsibility, ut i will help load and secure the bike. Best and cheapest service is Uship. I have used this company a lot and they are great.
Just to give a few examples, hipping to Florida is $300-400. Shipping to California is $400-$600, exas is $400-500 thru Uship.
Please ask me any questions before bidding.Bidders with less than 10 positive feedback contact me before bidding. I sold 10 bikes on ebay in the past year, nd my feedback is 100% perfect on them.
Some of the bikes i built recently

All of the bikes are tested before they gettransformed.Meaning that when the donor bike is purchased, t gets ridden for at least 50 miles.I make sure that the bike is ready for another 20 years of riding.

This bike was testedthoroughly before and after it was built.
Restassured that you will get a 100% reliable bike-with new and upgraded charging system, hich is one of their weak spots.
The only thing i would strongly suggest is a set of Mikuni carbs-i have not installed a set just to keep the cost down for the buyer.But every cx500 that i sold was eventually fitted with custom Mikuni carbs.The Mikuni's will cost an extra 600$.
You are welcome to stop at the shop to check it in person-if youcan't,please make sure to contact me so i can answer any questions.
