Our latest custom motorbike crush is one of our favorite builds up to
date, a 1978 Yamaha SR500 converted into a masterpiece by Chicago-based Powder Monkees.
The bike was built in collaboration with Federal Moto, it was stripped
to its essentials, fitted with a smaller tank, a 1970s headlight,
mono-shock rear suspension, a custom leather seat and finished with a
fresh, light color palette, minimalist parts choices, and some wild
tires. The end result is a highly maneuverable bike that is a perfect
combination of downtown daily rider and weekend beach cruiser.
