MONNOM Customs showcase vintage with a twist through its latest M6

MONNOM Customs showcase vintage with a twist through its latest M6

This 1976 Honda CB750 gets a taste of the roaring twenties with its new look.

This Honda CB750 is like no other with Mike Gustafson adding his magic touch. The furniture and bike builder from Iowa, USA, was delighted to rescue this Honda from its parts boxes. He then began his latest project under his MONNOM Customs moniker. Lo and behold, the M6 was born: a tough-looking vintage tracker.

Mike is known for his transformation works, bringing old discarded parts and making them into aesthetically-pleasing café racers. This time, Mike decided to switch it up and take on a new path. Instead of going to the café route, Mike opted to churn out something rugged and different in 2020. “I wanted to keep the build looking like a vintage bike,” says Mike as quoted from Pipeburn.

“I knew I wanted to utilize a beefier 1976 Honda GL1000 front end and, with the gained length of the fork and coupled with the fresh Ohlins rear shocks, it brought the bike up an inch or so for a bit more ground clearance.”

Mike fitted new Shinko ADV knobbies alongside a set of black aluminium rims that gave the bike a more aggressive look. He also fitted a 2k Bedliner product to the other parts and the frame. This provides an extremely durable, textured satin black surface. Wolfman Luggage also supplied a set of their Expedition Dry Bags in order to make adventure trips more practical. Two Auxiliary LED lights by Clearwater Lights are also able to put out dimmable light when travelling in the dark.

“To make the presence of M6 heard even more loudly, I installed a Denali Soundbomb dual-tone air horn that blasts out a deafening 120 dB of sound.” Mike added a pair of Cone Engineering mufflers. He added a set of K&N pod filters and re-jetted the carbs accordingly to let the engine breathe better.

Mike partnered with Quadlock and used their standard handlebar mount with a GPS app on a smartphone. This gives a modern twist to the vintage bike.

“I fabricated a custom oil tank that sits below the beautiful seat that was made by Dane Utech (plzbeseated). The tank holds a bit more oil than the stocker and helps to keep the engine running cool.”

As for the exterior of the bike, Mike already had an idea. “It was obvious to me that the bike should be black and I ultimately went with a gloss clear coat that contrasted nicely against the textured coating of the frame.”

“I designed the custom aluminium rack that discreetly sits above the passenger seating area; it is a quick on/off removal with only three bolts. It is very strong and lightweight, being made from 3/16” CNC cut stock, and the top of the rack also accepts a 1-gallon Rotopax fuel cell.”

“The bike is a blast to rip on and it’s surprisingly nimble and smooth for being such a heavy beast. I’m excited to load the bags and head out for a weekend of camping soon.”
