The comments ran hot when we posted the first bike from Spanish builder Café Racer Dreams, so it’ll be interesting to see the reaction to this one. CRD’s third release is called ‘Military Gold’, a reference to the Firestone Military tires fitted to 19” wheels. It’s 1979 CB750 KZ, and CRD have shown once again how small (and inexpensive) changes can radically change the character of a bike. The engine is stock, apart from modified Keihin carbs, a free-flowing intake system and Megaton mufflers. The frame has been stripped of all unnecessary addenda, a simplified wiring loom has been fitted, and an aluminum battery box and Renthal bars complete the picture. The fenders are bobbed and everything else has been blacked out or repainted. To our eyes it’s simple, unsophisticated and drop-dead maravilloso.
