Copenhagen based custom bike shop Wrenchmonkees has given a retro feel to the Honda CB550 which is little more than a downsized CB750. The Wrenchmonkees removed the rear frame, and built a custom exhaust system and new fenders.
A new lower tank, shortened forks, small single saddle and big fat firestones lower the bikes overall appearance and give it an aggressive stance. The team fitted a new seat unit to complement the curvier looks of the bike and painted it in a timeless metallic brown. The result is a very stylish bike from inauspicious beginnings and it took the honors in the Open class.

I admire the way these guys see possiblity in seemingly any bike, but what on earth are you talking about?

the header correctly id’s this bike; however the caption under the first photo refers to the bike as a CB550. that is wrong, It is a CX500 which is not a downsized CB750. It is a water cooled V-Twin not an in-line 4. Have a nice day

CB750? CB550? The header is on the mark but the comments are a bit off!
That said, it is still a very nice piece of work!
