Examples of custom SCL500

 

Classic SCL500 

The modifications to this SCL500 have transformed it into a truly unique motorcycle.

 

 

The striking white paint job, complemented by a custom brown leather saddle with white stitching, gives it a classic and timeless appeal.

Other notable additions include a rugged high aluminum fender Life & Ride Workshop, protective crash bars, wide scrambler handlebars, bar-end mirrors, a headlight grille, and a subtle Honda decal on the tank.

The combination of these elements creates a cohesive and visually appealing custom motorcycle.

 

KSPEED SCL500

Honda re-entered the much-hyped scrambler segment with the SCL500, a motorcycle that quickly captured the attention of enthusiasts worldwide.

Among these admirers was the Thai custom shop K-Speed, renowned for its impressive work on Honda's 500cc lineup.

K-Speed took the SCL500 and transformed it into a stunning off-road beast, likely the first custom motorcycle based on Honda's new scrambler.  

The stock SCL500 shares a striking resemblance to the Rebel 500, with its round LED headlight, wheel design, and tank shape.

However, K-Speed has completely overhauled the bike's appearance.

A motocross-inspired fender, blacked-out fork tubes, and a larger, caged headlight dominate the front end, while the rear features a shortened subframe, a custom fender, and a minimalist LED taillight.

The custom leather saddle, new handlebars, and toothed footpegs create an upright and relaxed riding position.

The repositioned LCD instrument cluster, keyhole, custom grips, and stylish switchgear further elevate the bike's aesthetic appeal.

To enhance off-road capabilities, K-Speed has equipped the CL500 with chunky knobby tires and a custom rear shock absorber with increased travel.

A chain guard and bash plate protect vital components from damage.

K-Speed has further enhanced the bike's performance with a custom free-flow exhaust system that not only improves power output but also reduces weight.

The stock Nissin brakes remain unchanged.

You can check on their Instagram account, KSPEED realize few SCL500 and CL500 customs, in different types: brat, scrambler, cafe racer. 

 

SCRAMBLE THE ROAD SCL500

This SCL500 has undergone a radical transformation, adopting a decidedly motocross-inspired look.

 

 

The Life&Ride Workshop windscreen and fender kits, combined with handguards, give the bike a rugged and off-road ready appearance.

The raised scrambler handlebars, headlight visor, and grille reinforce its adventurous character.

The removal of the stock muffler in favor of a low-mounted exhaust not only liberates power but also accentuates the bike's racing aesthetic.

The custom seat, longer rear shocks, and small rear fender significantly improve comfort and off-road performance.

Finally, the spoked wheels complete the aggressive motocross look.
