Post Listing Update: This R90S was relisted a couple of times, but eventually it did not meet reserve with the bids stalling at $8,500. Obviously, BMW airheads have become a popular platform for customization in the last few years. Still, you don’t expect to see someone start with a R90S! What do you think of the end result? Before you …
Born Free Best Chopper – 1963 Harley-Davidson FL Panhead
Post Sale Update: This FL chopper sold for $19,600 after 27 bids on eBay. The seller calls this “part survivor/part custom” – whatever you call it, it won Best Chopper at last year’s Born Free 7. It’s been featured in Easyriders Magazine (NSFW) and will be featured in the August issue of Hot Bike/Street Chopper.
1999 Royal Enfield/Buell Custom
Post Sale Update: This crazy custom sold for $3,050 after 15 bids. Yes, it’s another Robert “Doc” Harms build – I will never not feature one of these! This time around we’ve got a turbocharged Buell single in a Royal Enfield frame, and it’s probably my favorite of the offered builds so far.
Custom Airhead – 1979 BMW R65
I’m really starting to enjoy these classic airhead builds. I knew that BMW was trying to change their demographic, but I never thought we’d see a day that people are customizing old airheads. My favorite part is that these builders are repurposing bikes that might not necessarily get a second chance at life. Case in point is this 1979 R65. …
Ford Flathead Custom Trike
Post Listing Update: The opening bid was lowered to $3,600, but that still was not enough to get any interest on this oddball trike. Starting with the flathead engine and transmission from a 1952 Ford, this oddball trike runs – but are you brave enough to take advantage of that fact?
Miss Thriller – 1992 BMW R100R Custom
View PostGravel Express – 1980 Honda GL1000 Goldwing
I didn’t really care for this bike when I saw it on BikeEXIF two months ago, but I do have a fascination with seeing what the asking prices are for custom builds that get some attention. This Goldwing was built by Roy Holtman – the man behind RH Motorcycles. It’s been given up a ground-up rebuild and turned into some …
Even More of Doc’s Crazy Customs! Dnepr and Buell
View PostRectangle Eight – Dual Engined 1956 Ariel Square Four Custom
Here’s something you don’t see every day – two Ariel Square Four engines in a custom frame all wrapped in Suzuki bodywork. The photos aren’t great and there isn’t much information…but did I mention that it’s got two Square Four engines?

Post-Listing Update: This board tracker did not meet reserve with 21 bids up to $15,100. Built by Rick Krost of U.S. Choppers, this custom Harley is inspired by …
More of Doc’s Crazy Customs – BSA and Indian
View PostMotohangar Build – 1976 Honda CB750 Custom
Post Sale Update: This CB sold for $8,000 after 46 bids and was then relisted…then it sold for a BIN of $7,000. Built by Motohangar, this Honda CB750 was built for a friend of the owner – the friend ‘wanted the bike to show its age.’
1976 Suzuki/BMW Custom
I really have no idea how to describe this thing. It started as a 1976 BMW R60, but thanks to someone named “Doc”, it’s now something else entirely and it’s powered by a 650cc engine from a Suzuki Savage cruiser.
Ending Soon in Canada – 1961 Norton Featherbed Custom
The seller of this bike started his build in 2007, with a 850 Norton engine and a ’61 Featherbed frame. He wanted to mix things up with a belt drive, and there’s a few neat touches (like an Alton electric starter).
1974 Moto Guzzi Eldorado Custom
Post Listing Update: This interesting Guzzi custom did not meet reserve with 25 bids up to $9,701. This Eldorado was built by a gentleman named R.T. Kologiski, whose inspiration was to “build a Guzzi racer that looked like Guzzi would have built it, if they made an Eldorado in the 1930s.” What do you think?
