Honda CB550K Cafe Racer
Michel Valle of San Diego's Alchemy Motorcycles builds the "Grey Ghost," a 1977 Honda CB550K with a custom mono shock and much, much more...
"We went with a custom shade of grey that we felt was something unexpected. Haven’t seen a vintage bike built with this color, we knew it was a right fit to the theme. We also knew that a gold finish had to be incorporated into the build, so when we knew what we were playing we wanted the paint to hint at those details. So we shot a layer of golden pearl over the grey to give the desired effect. In the shade the color looks a solid shade, but it comes to life when hit by light. Once the paint was cut and buffed to an impeccable finish, reassembly began."
