That’s a really great bike! The combination of brown color is so ‘stable’… Old ‘grandma’ looks so powerful in new skin… Only what missing is to publish at your website in what new parts bikes were equiped… what was changed from the original one by the engineers… and so on… More comments guys!
Thanks for the post. Parts that were fabricated include; tank, seat, seat trim bar, switch block, headstock, carburettor trumpets, exhaust pipes, mufflers, engine cover, new custom wiring loom and the frame was also heavily modified.
Absolutely beautiful bike. I am about to start restoring my 79 CB550 Supersport and this is a huge inspiration. Would you care to share details on how you made the beautiful finish on that tank? Thanks a lot.
Hi Jack thanks for the kind words and great to hear we can act as a bit of inspiration. No real tricks or details on the tank, we carved a buck out of white foam to begin with then used that as a template for the metal panels. A lot of beating and shaping in between, then we lined it with tank sealer, then off to the painters. Good luck with the build, shoot us through some pics once your done or even during.

Can I buy one of those mufflers?! they look so sick.
Sweet!
Love the clean aesthetics especially the ‘cleaned up’ handle bar!
Where is the master pump cylinder for the front brake?!
Hi Keith
Thanks. The master cylinder is hidden up underneath the tank.
Cheers

Love the execution all around. Seat and tank combo are just killing me! Rear 3/4 shot especially showcases the bike well.
Cheers – Paul
Looking foward to the updates on Ella002 based on the CB750!
Love this bike, we’re just doing a feature on it now and should have it up by this evening.

Thanks, I will send you pics once its done. The colour is what got me on the tank – do you happen to know the exact colour? Thanks again.
Hi Jack, sorry mate we don;t actually remember the colour code. I can tell you however that it was a factor Alfa Romeo colour. Hope that helps…
What kind of engine mods, if any, did you do?
Hi Steve,
EB001 has no real engine mods, it’s just been reconditioned.
Thanks
