db Customs CB1100RD Restomod

[dbCustoms]

Thought I'd share my recent project that is just finishing up for my client in New Zealand. It's actually based on a 1983 Honda CB1100F.

Enjoy!

Just some more info:

This Honda CB1100RD, which is based on a 1983 Honda CB1100F, was built by db Customs for its customer in New Zealand. It features ?hlins USA suspension, Brembo brakes (front rotors, calipers, front RSC brake, and levers), SCULPTURE triple clamps, Keihin 39mm FCR flat slides, Dynatek Electronics 2000 Ignition with ACCEL Performance Group custom cut and fitted 8mm spiral core wires, Oz Racing wheels, Vince and Hyde (Brent Hyde) components (curved cam chain guide, rear chain tensioner, and race cam chains), oversized oil pickup, EBC clutch with Barnett springs, Jaygui-racing exhaust (Harrie van Limbeek), Nitro Racing rearsets and front carbon fiber fender, modified GSXR swinger (courtesy of JES BUILT Motorcycles), Supersprox rear sprocket and custom 9mm offset front sprocket, EK Chain - USA 530 chain, custom paint by Sketchs Ink (no decals, all paint!), Michelin PilotPower 2CT's, Spiegler Performance Parts brake lines and LSL clip-ons, and Koso Gauge. The engine is stock displacement with degreed cams. The bodywork, with the exception of the tank (which started out with several dents), is all aftermarket. No CB1100R was harmed in the making of this amazing restomod. The white paint used is actually from a Cadillac Escalade. The blue is based on the color from the CB1100RC, as felt it looked better than that used on the RD.

This is what caught my eye. What a great item, seems as though all chain driven bikes should have a rear tensioner.

Also, beautiful workmanship there. Your customer should be happy with the results.

Flat out stunning ...

The Honda has a spring loaded cam chain rear tensioner with no preload adjustment. The Vince and Hyde Racing rear tensioner unit that replaces it, is a manual tensioner.

Very nice. Great attention to detail. The rear shocks cost more than all my bikes combined though

Ha! You had me zooming in on all the photos trying to find a final drive chain tensioner

Very nice work.....for a Honda....

I had to look it up...I thought you were referring to Vance & Hines. My bad. Gorgeous bike!

Is that Hyde related to Norman Hyde? I have a Norman Hyde front brake and fork brace on one of my Commandos.

Probably a long shot.
Brent Hyde is out of New Zealand.
