I got my girlfriend a '78 hondamatic. She loves it. Now she wants it bobbed and murdered out. I LOVE the cafe racer style down to the peddles, front bag and the grenade decal on the tank. This is the video I show people when they ask me what a cafe racer is. You have redefined cafe racer for a newer generation.
Hey nice bike! I just bought basically the same bike and am in the process of turning it into a cafe racer. I'm curious as to how you built your seat, or if you bought it. I was gonna try to put a cowl on my seatpan, but I think I like what you have done even more. If you could enlighten me on how you did that I would appreciate it. Thanks!
What kind of handlebars are those? I just bought a completely stock cb400 hondamatic, and your build definitely gives me some inspiration for what to do. I'm thinking of maybe a matte black body with gold powdercoated rims, and potentially bars like yours' if I can afford them. My project will be done on the cheap though, so not anywhere as detailed as yours. Hit me up if you have any suggestions.
Thanks for the comments, guys. I've tried to differentiate this bike from others I've seen as much as possible! I'll get some footage of me riding it soon. Going to roll with a Firestone ANS Military 19 4.00 on the front soon and ditch the Cheng Shin.
Living in L.A., I see a lot of really bad bobber and cafe racer jobs that make me cringe. Yours is great! I like the overall look of it, military color scheme, and all the small details, like the taillight, bike pedals and old-school tires. The Hondamatic is a great bike.
Where can I find aftermarket parts. I would like to replace my seat and bars. I really need a website

They're chrome "T" styled clip-on bars. Really clean looking.

If you ever need help, resources, or advice of any kind on this bike, don't hesitate to message me. I'd love to see another Hawk build.
