Serious custom from Canada

[Syscrush]

I don't know if dB Customs is on anyone else's radar, but I have been watching Darren's work since he started sharing on FB and have been consistently impressed.

His latest is this high-spec '79.



This isn't the build I'd want for myself - nor the budget I get to work with - but there are a lot of nice touches on this machine, and I really appreciate the attention to detail. They got the weight down to a claimed 465 lbs wet - remarkable IMO for a bike that still retains so much of the stock bike's styling character.

I would like to know the cost of the carbon fiber wheels

They're readily available: just modern 17" carbon wheels from Dymag - about the same as BST carbon or good forged wheels - about $3k USD.

Darren Begg is a hacker, as far as I am concerned. He should stick with his photography job. He is to classic Japanese bikes what Arlen Ness is to Harleys..cookie cutter customs with a lot of bolt-on show components. If you have seen one of his bikes, you have seen them all. He has a following. Just like Arlen Ness. And he laughs all the way to the bank...

I think it looks great and would love to ride it and own it.
Going to take a lottery win for that to happen.
