Have a look at the most recent Bare Bone Rides custom build. Our good friend and client approached us with an idea he had been thinking about for a few years ... turning his stock 2008 Honda CRF230F into a retro-styled street legal enduro/desert racer. He was hoping we would be able to set-up the final version to allow for two different looks: 1) an early 1970's Honda SL350 and 2) a mid-1970's Honda MT250 Elsinore. Not the simplest transformation but, with some careful ciphering, fabricating, welding and paintwork we were able to pull off this build for him! We also installed a BBR 240 Big Bore Piston/Cam kit (the other BBR from the West Coast: BBR Motorsports, Inc.), a larger Mikuni Flat Slide Carb, foam Uni-Filter and an after-market performance exhaust - all of which really woke-up this machine!
In addition to the tank/seat mods, we adapted an old Honda SL350 rear fender and a 1970's Honda CR250 front fender! Quite a bit of modification was required to the subframe to make it all work - overall, we really like how she turned out including the paint schemes that reflect our customer's wishes/vision.
