Timebomb Kustoms: Honda CB750

Juli 29, 2026

Being involved in the custom bike scene for many years we have seen a lot of different painters and artists in the midwest and many of them of course ride, so its always neat to see what a custom painter or tank artist choses to ride themselves. We took a trip down to the small town of Bedford, Indiana where one such painter Jason Mattox of Timebomb Customs had just finished up his own CB750 custom chopper. Jason has always had an affinity for vintage Japanese bikes so we wanted to find out more about his latest project and his shop in general and see why he chose this last year single overhead cam 1978 k model CB750 for his daily rider.

Northbilt Customs: Urban Scrambler

Juli 10, 2026

We recently met up with Brett Johnson of Northbilt Customs in the heart of the racing capitol of the world, Indianapolis, Indiana where he has a shop on the famous "Gasoline Alley" home to some of the finest machine shops and racing specialists the city has to offer. We were actually visiting one such shop right there recently to have some XS650 valve work done when the shop owner told us about Brett and his incredible Honda scrambler project he was just finishing up, built from a CB350F. We said, well that sounds amazing but couldn't be possible since the CB350F was notoriously an inline four and scramblers are always two cylinders.

From Concept to Legend: The Suzuki Katana

Juni 04, 2026

When Suzuki dropped the Katana on the world in 1979, everything changed.
The 1970s saw the rise of the universal Japanese motorcycle (UJM), however, by the end of the decade, manufacturers and consumers were growing tired of this conservative design language. Suzuki, the creator of the fantastic GSX series of motorcycles and superbikes, decided to try a design experiment that would take the creation of their new motorcycle to an outside design firm.

Liquid Cooled Pioneer: The Suzuki GT750

Mai 22, 2026

The Suzuki GT750 is one of the most beloved Japanese bikes of all time. Released in the early 1970s during the formative age of the superbike, the GT750 was designed primarily as a sports tourer. Its smooth acceleration and comfortable ride made it a more refined alternative to the Kawasaki Z1 or Honda CB750.

But what really earned the Suzuki GT750 a prominent place in motorcycle history was its innovative engine. The GT750 was the first Japanese motorbike to employ a liquid cooling system for the engine rather than the traditional air-cooled setup.

1946 Harley-Davidson WL Flathead

Mai 05, 2026

With the rise in popularity of events like The Race of Gentlemen, the 45" flathead WL and WR Harley Davidsons have become once again a quite sought after motorcycle due to the amount of abuse those fantastic old motors can withstand. Originally being produced mainly for military use during the second World War these mighty mini motors were on the frontlines for several years. However after the war ended the civilian market was flooded with several of these great bikes that have since survived all these years later to still be ridden today. After being bitten by the 45" Flathead bug after coming home from an exciting weekend on the shores of Wildwood, NJ for the races last year we sought out a good friend back in the midwest Billy "Mumbles" Miller who has been holding onto a rather interesting 1946 WL Flathead.
