It has been about 5 months since my last post on here which contained the beginnings of my new business called Brick House Builds LLC. The builds that go on consist of pre-90s Japanese motorcycles that I build into cafe racers, bobbers, brats, scramblers, and whatever else fits the bill. Since the last post I have been very busy building bikes and have some cool stuff to show all of you for those interested. Here we go with some before and afters:

1982 Kawasaki KZ750 twin

Kinja'd!!!

1981 Yamaha Virago 750 I call the Ban-Zai’ bike

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

1975 Honda CB550

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

1979 Honda CX500 modeled after the ATC 250R three wheelers of the 80s.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

And finally some current builds in progress:

1980 Yamaha XS650 bobber

1980 Honda CX500 scrambler build for a customer

Stunning work. I love how you’ve picked colors that bring out the amazing details in the stock wheels. I had to double check every one to be sure they weren’t aftermarket.

Kudos, Sir/Madam. Well done indeed.

Thank you! All stock wheels thus far. I do have one bike for a customer that will be receiving a set of custom laced wheels that will look killer!

Very cool! This makes me wish I’d kept my old ‘77 Honda GL1000.

Since you brought it up, which article would that be? I think I may remember a cafe racer buyers guide or something.
