Cafe Style Yamaha Headlight Brackets
July 7, 2009

I thought I should take a break from highlighting all these cool finished products, and give you something that you can easily add to your own project. These are some of the coolest headlight brackets that I have come across. They may not be billet with engraved spider webs – but they are classic clean and still noticeably custom – exactly what we like to see at HONAHA. These are made to fit Yamaha SR 400, SR500, and XS 650. Im sure with a little modification you could make them fit almost any 1970’s bike. Get yours here.

Retro CB 750 Cafe Racer
July 5, 2009

This bike looks like it came straight out of 1970’s deadstock – looks like James Dean should be leaning over the handlebars smoking a heater. It is funny how the simplest things are often the most stunning – this bike is bare minimum – no fluff, no swag, no bling, just pure cleanliness. I love the bare bones approach to this bike – from the white walls, to the flawless routing of the cables and wires, to the missing air box and battery tray…. absolutely amazing work! Even the tank decor is crisp and simple. I love it. This bike is the purest thing we have seen at HONAHA for a while. Take a lesson form this bike – keep is clean and simple.

A Supercharger fit for a Cafe
July 1, 2009

If you own a GL or are in the market for one, this may be the part that really sets your bike apart from the rest. I think this may be the coolest add-on that HONAHA has ever found. I love this supercharger. I even found a little video showing a supercharged GL1000 for you – enjoy!

Crazy weather
June 9, 2009
I have finally had enough time to get my cb550 out. The weather has been so unpredictable here lately, it starts out sunny and turns to rain within a couple hours. Maybe the new iphone 3gs software upgrade will improve the weather application so I know what will happen. It is frustrating, but those moments of sun are pretty rewarding. Look for new posts soon. I will try to keep HONAHA a little more reliable than the weather this summer. Thanks for sticking around.

Yamaha XT 500 Cafe Racer
September 4, 2008
Here is a very clean little Yamaha XT 500 cafe racer. Seems like HONAHA has been posting more Yamaha pics than usual, thats because we keep finding more and more sweet Yamaha bikes out there. So, look this little beast over carefully and notice the front and rear drilled disc brakes, the blanked out battery and air boxes, the clean exhaust, and the flow of the tank and seat. The overall look of this bike is stunning, so enjoy it.
