Artistry in Motion: Honda MONKEY Custom by Ka-kun

Ka-kun's MONKEY

This green Monkey is based on a 4L and features a large cut-out to accommodate the carburetor that is placed partway into the tank. This CR φ26 carb has been fitted with a one-off brass air funnel, and has been hand buffed and polished. The front wheel is a G-Craft 4.0J and the rear is a 6.0J with Douglas rims. The B-77 tires have a nice pull and the perfect ultra-thick feel to them to match the bodywork. The underside of the caliper is also painted with lettering. Incidentally, the letters are visible not on the double disc, but by having them reflected onto the wheel instead.

Both the custom paint job by ROBIN and the use of gold as an accent color give the bike an upscale look while incorporating a classic feel. The combination of modern parts is also a good touch. This customization direction is something new and unique, and is sure to resonate with many people.

Bodyworks

The paintjob, with gold leaf accent accentuating the pinstripes behind, makes this gasoline tank almost too beautiful. A pop-up cap for Harleys is also used for the fuel inlet!

Engine

The buffed and plated accessories, as well as the brass funnel, give the bike a shiny finish. As for the engine, you can clearly see that work has gone into it, and it has been finely polished.
