The process we started with a shell "no change there" Here we have another stunning build from November Customs, these are the specifics
We have given the old girl a complete new lease of life and a much needed face lift after buying her as a partly stripped down project that someone started but never finished, here's what's she's had done from nose to tail
New pirelli tyres,
Rebuilt brake calipers front and rear, stripped, painted and seals replaced if needed
Braided lines, front and rear are new along with a new braided line for the clutch
Rebuilt forks with new fluid and seals
Bespoke polished handmade aluminium front mudguard
New Gators
New Clip ons with Renthal Grips
New Digital Speedo
Cleaned and refurbished top and bottom yokes
Refurbished Radiator with custom over flow tank
New steel one off mount and braided lines to relocate oil cooler from the now defunkt fairing to a more traditional setting in front of the engine
Engine has been taken out and partially stripped to check condition expecting to find wear and tear but was amazed at the condition of the engine and how little wear there was, anyone knowing Hondas of the 1990's will know that they are completely over engineered and stunning engines. The engine has been cleaned, given a full service and a coat of black enamel paint.
The exhausts are a full stainless system with one off intermediate pipes ending in short loud aluminium cans and has to be heard to be believed
New Rear sets with bespoke mounting plates that allow adjustment for your riding position with a new rear master cylinder with built in reservoir using a new banjo bolt brake light switch
Petrol tank has been modified from standard giving it a cleaner more streamlined look, if you are unsure what we mean google a standard tank and the changes will be obvious
Bespoke powdercoated steel sub frame made specifically for this bike and mounted using rose joints to allow for movement of this too as in forward backwards or lift up if you would like a more aggressive stance
Hand beaten steel tailpiece again made specifically for this bike, bespoke 2 piece hand stitched seat with contrasting red stitching
Polished swinging arm and modified cush drive cover
CBR1000 fireblade rear shock fitted, rebuilt with a red powdercoated spring
New chain
Bespoke billet aluminum chain guard
Now the most controversial bit, the rear hugger, this was made from hand beaten aluminum to match the front bespoke guard, the idea behind this was to keep the lines of the bike and not have a overhanging reg plate sticking out one side.
However this can be easily taken off if not to your taste I would be more than happy to do this as there is room to mount the reg plate on the chain guard if you would prefer
There's a lot of polished aluminium on this bike, rearsets, swinging arm, forks etc and this alone took a week, a dirty thankless task however i think worth the effort as the bike really suits it
So to recap this bike has totally been stripped and rebuilt with new paint and powder coat from APC coatings in Ashington, anything that needed replacing has been and if not refurbished to an as new if not better finish
November customs isn't a business for us, it's a passion and a hobby that we hope with the sale of each bike pays what money we put into each build with a little extra allowing us to continue building bikes that we're proud to put our name too
