Let's go Digger - Pink Taco build photos

These build pics of the "Pink Taco' are the Pelicans Pants. You can see a few custom builders at the Yokohama Show starting to take on this early Arlen Ness Digger style as well, and it's far freakier than the choppers and bobbers out there -Check it out, and lots of other diggers as well.

Dell-Sara custom shop

Japanese custom shops that specialize in Yamaha SR's are about as rare as pencils, but this one has some interesting hop-ups, and a clean style that I like. Here's the link to their site: http://www.dell-sara1995.com/menu.html

Interesting Honda magazines available on Amazon Japan

Heiwa magic - Suzuki Volty 250 & Honda FTR223

Japanese Custom House 'Heiwa' have a deft touch with producing small capacity custom bobbers (as well as some brilliant Triumph engined digger / choppers). Their link is on the right.

CCM and the classic British scrambler

CCM was one of those small custom bike builers in England that faded away until resurrected in 2004. They have several new models, all with that distinctive chrome tank and classic British style. The motor is from the Suzuki DRZ400.
Thanks to Raptors and Rockets for the info.

More Yokohama customs - Dragster style

A couple of smaller cc dragster style bikes - the small tanks look good, and it's great to see a bit of 'coffin tank' style creeping in as well -

"Stupid Crown" Honda C92

A neat Honda C92 restoration in a street scrambler style from the folk at the wonderfully named Japanese custom shop STUPID CROWN. See more here: http://www.stupidcrown.com/

Yokohama Japan Custom Show, Honda & Yamaha small cc

Roberto Totti Honda Custom Hand Built 250-4

Powered by a 1995 Honda 250RR, frame & bodywork all built by hand, and apparently based on the old RC181 Vintage Racer (hence the disc brakes?). The 19K logo on the side is because the motor revs to 19000rpm and puts out 56bhp!! Perhaps the disc brakes weren't such a good idea after all.......Roberto is an enthusiastic customiser & designer, and you can see more at http://www.tottimori.com/

Special thanks to http://Ottonero.blogspot.com for this and hours of timewasting goodness :-)
