"The Transformer " by Left Hand Cycles

.

This is not science fiction, LHC present "The Transformer " 

Imagine its 2043 and you live at the planet Cyberton. There is a war between Autobots and Deceptions. Involved in this war you have to chose between your caferacer or your scrambler. Not easy if you like them both ! Our solution is The Transformer. Which simply means you can change your bike,in the style you prefer. The Transformer gives you the oppertunity to change tank, handlebars and cables ,in a short while, so your bike looks completely different. Maybe you know this one because it's the rebirth of the "Acid King". This bike saw the daylight a couple of month ago. We created a neat cafe/brat, with a rusty tank and industrial look. Searching for more fun,we customized it into a scrambler ! We removed clippons and changed them for a wide enduro handlebar. Brake /Throttle /clutch cables are replaced for longer ones and the small "special" tank makes it look totally different. It all depends on which style you prefer but with the "Acid King Kit" you can simply transform it into a caferacer. Specifications front tyre : Dunlop K70 rear tyre : Dunlop K70 seat : LHC made electric : LHC made exhaust : LHC made front light : Bates rear light : Bates wheels /frame : powdercoated extra :"Acid King Kit" Includes : rusty tank ,clippons, brake /clutch/ throttle cables

77SS by 7Seven Customs

.

After a very sucessfull custom 1983 Honda CB750 called DarkBrownie, presented in many local & worldwide internet sites, 7seven customs is now presenting a small but naughty 1981 Honda CM400, named 77SS. This motorcycle definitely has 2 loud exhaust & the ride is rough. But there is something primal when driving this beast. Something that quickens the pulse, something that screams: "you are a bad, bad boy". This bike is simply bad 2 the bone.

Atlas by Bandit 9

.

Since their debut in 2011, Bandit9 has released a new breed of bikes from the east like Magnus, Nero and Hephaestus. And now the Beijing-based startup has announced the latest addition to their fleet called Atlas. Atlas is an evolution on the Yamaha XVS 400, which is not the most attractive bike to base a new build on. But for Bandit9, the goal was to inspire other startups and new builders by building a beautifully designed, well-engineered bike from a rocky foundation. Not everyone can afford a Triumph or a Harley and not everyone has access to shops where you can simply buy accessories. However, Bandit9 believes that these limitations pave way for art and invention.
