Honda Goldwing Cafe Custom War Bird 111618

[@Stevieboy130664]

Not a fan of Hondas in general but this has made me obsessed with the idea of bobbing a flat 4 Gold Wing.

[@pvflyer67]

nicely done, brings me back to my childhood. My father had the original 1975 GW.

[@coolmonkeymc8268]

That was the good one. It had the faster motor.

[@MotorvriendenDePallieters]

👀 Beautifully rebuilt Goldwing bobber 👍✌😉

[@MOEMUGGY]

I'm not a Bobber/Cafe or Goldwing fan, but this changes my thinking. I'd ride it. Awesome job

[@coolmonkeymc8268]

Thank you.

[@timmytool1231]

Love it, there was time when you could get an old Goldwing for super cheap, as time goes on they are becoming very collectable.

[@coolmonkeymc8268]

They are getting harder to find, but you can still get one for $500 to $800, if it's been sitting for a while. Just be careful. There are certain things to look for that can cost you a few bucks later.

[@gc33]

Yup... Rust in frames... So far I've spent over a grand(here in Australia) on frame repairs

[@flyerscout2]

Man that’s cool!!!!!! I thought it was a gold wing. Looks like your missing a seat or two. 😂 Thanks for sharing.

[@davidsuprenant893]

I don't understand the negative comments. Sir you have built a work of art.That is a beautiful cycle.You are a true master of your craft.Keep up the great work!!!

[@coolmonkeymc8268]

Extremely impressed with a number of your design concepts ! In the process of designing a Holding cafe currently myself, and planning to incorporate a few of your features in my build !

That is a cool bike. Great exhaust. Maybe you could put a serious horn on it to match the bike. Well done.

Love naked Goldwings. Got an 82 myself. Not a fan, but hey, you do you. Clearly some talent and time in the build.

Cool build nice job

[@quadflopper1012]

i never would have believed there was a way to make a goldwing look cool but you pulled it off......

[@padrescout]

Stripped wings are a thing and they are AWESOME. Google that stuff - they're the best dad-bike subculture.

[@quadflopper1012]

took me a minute to figure out what you were saying, can you imagine the walking up to someone and saying "Stripped wings are a thing and they are AWESOME" they'd think you were off your nutter...lol

[@magnolia972]

sounds like an old beetle without exhaust 😄 the color is really nice!

[@coolmonkeymc8268]

I've heard that said several times from Goldwing owners that modify the exhaust, so you must have something there.

[@slowstang88]

I've noticed a lot of flat fours have that weird chirp in the exhaust sometimes, almost like a wgistle

[@kimhorton6109]

Looks like it’s well thought out. Nice job. I had a GL100 and it was sneaky fast

[@coolmonkeymc8268]

The 1000s have the hot cams.

[@Daveinet]

You look at it, and you don't expect it to sound and ride like a Goldwing, but when he drives off, it still drives just like a Goldwing. If you have ever owned an old Goldwing, you know what I mean. You should install a fork brace. With the weight that low, it needs one. It will improve the steering response.

[@perberge]

Thats how to make a Gold Wing a more practical bike . Tumbs Up Man

[@thedakon]

I absolutely love how the bike looks and sounds, it got a second life, the green is in great contrast with the black. Looks great as is. A rear guard would definitely provide more safety, but this bike wasn't built with that goal!

[@coolmonkeymc8268]

Thank you!! You got it in one!!!

[@maddoxlandon]

[@DogmaFaucet]

Cool build, but that's much more bobber than cafe.

[@biguprochester]

What’s the difference? No tail section and raised bars?

[@paoloviloria1]

Yup. Looks more like a bobber-which makes me like the thing even more

[@quadflopper1012]

there are a lot of builds that are passing as bobbers these days but theoretically a true bobber is supposed to be a hardtail with a triangle wedge shaped frame where the top frame rails goes in a straight line from the rear wheel perch up to the neck with the seat hung low and right above the front of rear wheel and forward mounted foot controls, the overall look of a bobber resembles a hardtail chopper. the real big difference between a bobber and a cafe is a bobber has the seat position lowered and back with forward foot controls and with a cafe the seat height and foot controls are closer to the stock location.....

The most beautiful bike I’ve ever seen

[@coolmonkeymc8268]

Thank you. If you get a chance, check out Google Images: Honda Cafe Goldwing Bobber. Any of them with the dual shocks are more than likely ours. We did War Bird, Sinner Society, Made In America, and Speed Demons.

[@davidchereneimmel8820]

Super fun bike, 2 things put some kind of back fender give the bike balance in looks and loose the crap lettering on the tank nice paint but brought down by stick lettering. Otherwise super job.

[@jdc2597]

Popular consensus, needs rear mud guard. I actually did a few like that later. I used sport bike front fenders from the early 90s. I think they were ZX6 and ZX7 Ninjas. But, on the lettering, you gotta have the War Bird. Get it? Goldwing? War Bird? Just saying. . . but, to each his own.

[@dickylee12]

No rear wheel guard is illegal in Australia. With no rear wheel guard it doesn't look finished. Other than that it looks great.

super bon boulot les gars

[@2Timone7]

What a beautiful build!! I'd love to have one, but I'd pick a different color scheme. Great job. Nice, clean lines and it sounds great. I have a Kawasaki V2K that would make a great custom bobber. If only I had any skills. LOL

[@coolmonkeymc8268]

Thank you for the message. We did a couple of bikes in that color. I believe it's called Manila Green. When my wife first picked it, I was skeptical, but it seemed to have worked out well. However, I did recently paint my mother-in-law's cane this color, because she didn't like the black, and she also didn't like the manila green, so you do have others that agree with you. We like to pick a different color about every 3 or 4 bikes. Thanks.

[@2Timone7]

Cool Monkey MC It isn’t that I don’t like the color, it’s just that I would pick something different for myself -a dark metallic green, maybe. It’s a beautiful bike, no doubt.

[@coolmonkeymc8268]

Thank you very much but, honestly, any form of exceptionalism is dead and gone in America. I get paid no more than a purple haired millennial screwing up a drive-thru order.

[@roadglide]

That’s very funny. Because it’s true. These Mellenials, many, are awful service providers who could and will screw up a drive thru order very easily if not supervised. Thank you parents for setting the example too.

[@jont.3243]

What year is it? Looks awesome. If I can have an opinion I'd say put a rear wheel guard/fairing really close to the wheel so it wouldn't throw off the look.

[@coolmonkeymc8268]

Actually, I agree 100% with you about the mud guard. I have read several opinions stating that, but I like the way you worded yours, so I would like to respond to you. Honestly, I was just too damn tired. The bike took 2 months to build, 7 days a week, and I said fuggit. Of course, there's always pride in ownership. If someone wanted to do that, I'd definitely give them the thumbs up. Thank you for your comment.

I wish my GL1800 sounded anywhere near as good as yours. And the old-school choke and such? Righteous.

[@linusb212]

Man - that is a beautiful build! I just picked up an 81 GL1100 and am in the process of tearing it down. I’m wanting to build something like a scrambler/cafe racer cross. I’d love to get a real gas tank on mine. What kind of bike did that tank come from?

[@coolmonkeymc8268]

Thank you for the comment. I think that one was a Yamaha Maxim XJ series. Also, Suzuki GS series from the 80s work well. Kawasaki Spectre. But, those tanks will only work if you put a new backbone in the frame. If I remember correctly, I did use a Honda Super Magna gas tank once, and I believe I was able to keep the original frame pieces. I think that one was the Made In America bike. It was black with a red motor. It should be on Google Images, and there's a website that has a lot of my bikes on their videos. I think Cafe Racer, or something like that. If you find them, you can get a better look at the bike.

[@linusb212]

Cool Monkey MC I really appreciate the reply and feedback! This is my first venture at doing anything like this so my ambition will exceed my skill for sure. But I’ll be learning things along the way and will make me better for the next time!

[@onemanmob6756]

The only thing that would make it even more impressive would be a 6-cylinder engine from a more contemporary Wing...

[@homefront3162]

yeah.. i was thinkng that

[@Stevieboy130664]

I don't know - getting a bit more complex. I like that one's simplicity and relative compactness. Still I have heard Goldwing 6s with special exhausts and they sound really sick!

Thank you for the comment. I believe this one was a 1981 or 1982. I'm going by the carburetors. That was the GL1100 model. I've done about 16 of this style so, at this time, I don't really remember specific details about each one. Thanks again.
