A Lean Mean Racing Machine,

that is street legal,

meet ‘Goldenrod’ hailing from the state of Florida, Michael Mundy and his Steel Bent Customs crew decided on the name when creating this stunning 1978 Honda CB750 that ticks all the boxes and packs plenty of punch, the client wanted clean looks with the bike having a minimalist look about it, 

the bike also had to go, the engine received a an increase in capacity to 850cc with a bored block, full bottom end rebuild and cut back gears, up top the engine is able to breathe easy with the cylinder head ported and all the covers have been polished for good measure, on the outside the big block CB now is fed thanks to a bank of Keihin CR carbs that provide plenty of fuel flow, while dumping the left over gases is a Steel Bent signature 4-1 heat proofed exhaust exiting via a stainless reverse cone muffler,

 minimalism remained high on the priority list and the controls are no different with the clip on bars wearing only the bare essentials, bar end mirrors, modern switch gear and a more powerful master cylinder get the job done, no mess, no fuss,

and the view most of us drivers are going to see of the motorcycle as it passes us in a golden flash, you can follow the crew on Facebook and Instagram photographs by Erick Runyon, and no I am not on commission, would I like it? absolutely!
