1930 Art Deco Henderson

I've seen this bike in various blogs before, and I'm sure a lot you have seen it too. But since it still haven't appeared here, I'm going to post it.
It's a 1930 K.J Henderson originally built by O. Ray Courtney in 1936, and was restored by Frank Westfall from Syracuse, NY. The details and craftsmanship are really amazing.

The Brief:

• Simple to maintain.
• Nothing surplus-to-requirements.
• Chopper and bobber references/details.
• The lines of a rigid frame but with suspension.
• Use a Buell 'Blast' motor and exploit its shape.
• Harley posture, flat-tracker manners, Ducati handling.
• Exploit the power-to-weight ratio of a 500cc single in a lightweight chassis.
• A return to the spirit of motorcycling - the journey is the experience / story.

Here goes the results. The creations from Mac Motorcycle are some gorgeous minimalist bikes with a little retro feel to it. 

Retrofuturistic Jetscooter

Here are some rendering from a product designer, Fujikawa from DevianArt. It's not a custom bike, but the retrofuturistic style of it hit me. Maybe I can use the styling into my next photoshop custom.

Photoshop Custom - Dragstar/V-Star 650 Ver 2.0

Here are some more Photoshop renderings of the xvs650 in my imagination. After I posted the previous customization, a different direction came to my mind. I has thought of making it a more retro bike and to make it more realistic if I want to build this in this country, so here goes the results.
