CX500

This CX500 was my first commission build and received very favourable reviews both in the motorcycle press and online.
The CX500 is widely regarded as one of the ugliest bikes of its time. However, the ugly duckling has been embraced by the custom world because of its adaptability and distinctive engine. As there are so many on the custom scene, my one had to be special, so just about everything you see is handmade.

CJ750

The Chang Jiang 750 (CJ750) is a Chinese BMW R71 clone which was originally a military bike with a sidecar and a whole heap of bolt-ons. This is a 1959 model but the styling is still the same as the 1938 original. I was drawn to the bike because of its awesome side profile and distinctive boxer engine, not that you could see much of either in its original form! I was again more than happy to see this bike featured in magazines.
