This is CRD #69 (builds are numbered as they are ordered, rather than completed), based on a 1990 Honda XL600V Transalp. The Transalp is an iconic machine in Europe, but it’s still a very unusual choice for a donor bike.
At the core of the build is a Honda CB750 fuel tank—something the client requested during the first meeting, in his restaurant over the border in Nice, France. After extensive modifications to both the tank and the frame, CRD managed to pair the two up.
Ditching the Honda’s bulky bodywork exposed its 600cc V-twin power plant. But it also left the radiator hanging in the breeze. So CRD fabricated a new headlight shroud that could house not only two LEDs, but the radiator as well. (bixeexif)
