“Fury is the 4th build to roll out of the Clockwork Motorcycles workshop. When I originally found the donor (a ’71 Honda CB750), it was pretty funny to look at. It was a weird (failed) attempt to a gothic bobber/chopper. It deserved much more. The idea behind the build was to do something fat and bulky. Every shape and line on the bike needed to adhere this theme.”
“I didn’t want any flashy paint or shinny parts that would steal the show. It’s all about lines, shapes and curves, that’s why every colour is a muted tone. To attain my goal I also needed to add some meat. That’s when I discovered and fit the GSX-R forks. I chose the non-inverted ones to keep the vintage look. For the wheels the bulk continues with a 16″ front and rear Harley Davidson rim and Firestone deluxe champion tyres (yes I know…but I don’t care about the hatters). To fit all that rubber the swingarm needed to be 2″ longer, thankfully the resulting look is more balanced due to the difference in length being so subtle and thanks to the chunky tires.”
“The stock oil tank was retained and shaved and a custom side cover fit to the inside of the frame on the opposite side. Both serve the same original goal. For the seat, I wanted something a little outside the box. It’s a mix of leather and suede and the shape was designed with the same idea in mind. Ginger from New Church Moto took care of the execution and did it perfectly. Everything else on the bike was touched in some way. From the custom bent clip-on bars to the machined top triple clamp. A full engine rebuild was performed including a 836cc bore, Keihin CR29 race carbs and Motogadget M-Unit is the heart of the electrical system”
