Build Story | Part 1. Time to have a closer look at our Honda CB500 and show you guys how she became the beautiful Cafe Racer she is now! We received the bike almost completely disassembled, not even a fuel tap or a chain came with it. But on the other hand, the bike was mechanically fine after we put it back together in order to start working on it. We envisioned the CB500 to be a classic racer...

As usual we started with a digital rendering in the initial stages. From there, we finalized the styling using CAD software (CATIA in our case). When designing the 3D model, we already think of how to fit the part to the bike, the molding and reproduction process and the seat details.

Ducati Build Story | Part 5. After finishing the Ducati 750SS 'Modern Cafe Racer', the presentation weekend was soon to come. But before that, we still had to prepare a lot of furniture and other kit for our booth. Two platforms and a desk were build from scratch, we organised racks, lights, decoration and a folding pop up tent. Then it was time to pack up, put the bikes on a trailer and head south to Leonberg near Stuttgart.

Ducati Build Story | Part 4. Now it's finally time for a new layer of paint! The frame got it's original color and the engine received a metallic charcoal grey. For the bodywork it obviously had to be a red shade for our Ducati. We wanted to keep the paint scheme simple to let the shapes speak. The paint is finished in Rosso Fuoco (fire-red) which is a sophisticated three-layer paint from Ferrari.

Ducati Build Story | Part 3. This time we work on adapting the front fairing and also fit the single seat we built last time. Besides that, work also began on the electronics and wiring. To incorporate the 'Modern Classic' style on all ends of the bike, we found a distinct front fairing with Moto Guzzi Le Mans resemblance, that was shaped to fit right in.

Ducati Build Story | Part 2. Let's dive right in to the first major modifications and fabrication tasks! It all started with the rear frame. It was tightend, shortend and simplified to achieve a slim look. We cut the lower tube and made a new connection to the upper one by welding in a bend and a new, inclining section. Then connected both sides with a single, slightly curved, back tube, creating sharper than usual corner radii.
