Honda CB 550 Four – 1977 – “INNANA” #32

This bike was built  to fit the purpose of our friend Paul, he wanted  a fun and feisty bike to ride and take on an occasional cruise with his wife.

We went back and forth a little with the design but finally settled for a middleweight CB550 due to it’s size and went with an old cruiser aesthetic with wide chrome bars and new generation parts for the bike to be up to date.

We used a CB750F (97) front end, brakes, triple clamps and adapted the 550 hub to fit. Cruiser handlebars with motogadget buttons, also made a bracket for the chronoclassic gauge. Custom paint job reviving the 70’s paint schemes using white over deep blue. Motogadget M-unit blue with a purpose built wiring. Custom seat thick and upholstered to comfortably fit 2. We gathered with an artist and understood Paul’s inspirational motive for the engraving and carving on the engine covers. 3D printed holder for the performance air filter to fit the stock air filter box. Twin YSS rear shocks. On the rear section we just took a little bit of the tail end and closed it with a loop, then made a cool bracket for the tail light, license plate and mud guard assembly out of bent metal rods.


It is called Innana, Queen of the Sky. It was the Sumerian goddess of love, eroticism and fertility. In her depictions she is usually stepping on a lion, showing her strength, power and fearlessness.

We were very proud by the metal work done on the engine by the artist. It is always important for us to have an organic element in our bikes and the craftsmanship and dedication of a person is actually palpable and is there for everyone to see.
