#BOLT19 – HONDA CX500

Although it might seem like we’re on a Honda roll lately, today we bring you something truly special: the stunning Honda CX500 Custom. Don’t miss the details behind the #Bolt19 build — this one’s a favorite.

First things first: this project involved replacing, modifying, and restoring all the parts needed to bring the dream bike to life.

Even though this project came to us from Italy, it’s become one of our most beloved and talked-about builds on social media. And honestly, it’s easy to see why.

The #Bolt19 grabs your attention with its clean but bold lines.
Take the tank, for example. At first glance, it may seem simple — but the way the lines and colors play together creates a powerful visual impact, giving this Honda CX500 Custom a presence that’s hard to ignore.
We chose the color scheme as a subtle nod to HRC racing colors, adding an extra layer of meaning to the design.

Another key highlight of this Honda CX500 Custom build is the seat, made from water-resistant faux suede and crafted by none other than Toni Llop — a true master when it comes to premium upholstery.

The Hagon rear shocks also deserve a shoutout — their aggressive yet classic look fits perfectly with the bike’s overall cafe racer vibe.

Take a look at the photo gallery to see the transformation this Honda CX500 Custom underwent after entering our workshop.
At Bolt Motor Company, we specialize in building and transforming cafe racers in Valencia, but we work with clients all over the world.

And if this project has sparked something in you — and you’re thinking about becoming the proud owner of a machine like this — send us an email at info@boltracer.com. We’ll be thrilled to bring your dream bike to life.
