Not all custom bike shops, even with immense potential, achieve the resounding success of Deus Ex Machina or Roland Sands Design. Sometimes, despite best efforts, circumstances dictate a different path.

JM Customs in Scotland, once renowned for its bespoke marvels, faced such a reality, closing its doors in 2023. While its frontman, James Moir, now focuses on paintwork, the legacy of his creations lives on.

One such masterpiece, the Iron Horse, a 2002 Honda CB750, continues to fascinate. With the invaluable assistance of Graeme Findlay, a skilled mechanic, Moir transformed this low-mileage Nighthawk into a stunning homage to classic motorcycles, blending modern performance with retro charm.

Forget chrome and classic lines, this Honda CB750 transformed into a modern beast by JM Customs is all about aggressive performance and a touch of vintage soul. The stock bodywork is a distant memory, replaced by a custom tubular frame for the rear end, boasting increased rigidity thanks to drilled gussets.

This overhaul also swapped the Nighthawk’s twin shock setup for a single, central monoshock unit, achieved with swingarm modifications and a high quality Hagon shock.

The rear fender is minimal, the license plate holder axle-mounted, and sleek LED taillights and turn signals integrated into the subframe tubing complete the clean tail section.
