25.01.2022 So, I've dropped the price of Arcanum significantly to $12,990 to move her on to a new home as quickly as possible. Price is firm as this is a massive amount of custom bike for that, cost over $20K to build! Share it around, only needs one buyer :) Come and see it up close this Sunday 3rd May at Bondi Pavilion for the Deus Bike Build Off or next Saturday 9th May at Throttle Roll

23.01.2022 So what would you say if I told you Arcanum might be up for sale? My personal ride, only 1200kms since full build, and an extremely unique 1978 SR500. Our most expensive build ever so I won't take low ball offers but send your expression of interest to [email protected] ___________________________ #yamaha #yamahacaferacers #sr500 #sr400 #caferacer #caferacers #sydneycaferacers #throttleroll #custommotorcycle #custombike #addictioncustoms

Featured in Tank Moto, Return of the Cafe Racers, plus many other blogs around the world. Please share, happy to help ship anywhere in the world at buyers cost.

22.01.2022 We've just listed a bunch of SR400 and SR500 parts on eBay, couldn't get it to link properly here but if you search "SR500 frame" then checkout our other listings. For those that are local in Sydney, let me know if you want to buy anything, I'd prefer to sell outside ebay so get in touch direct. I have heaps of parts I haven't listed yet too. Here is a small sample of what I've listed so far;... - 1978 SR500 frame aussie delivered with compliance plate - SR400 engine (for parts only) - SR400 tank - full set of polished engine covers - set of SR500 (18" and 19") mag wheels - WM ally battery box - pair of 18" D.I.D. alloy rims See more

20.01.2022 When a mate says let's build a bike on the Easter weekend, we say why not! Had a great time today hanging with Shane and we made good progress on his SR400. More tomorrow!

20.01.2022 Weirdest thing ever.... Just got a call from the organisers of Big Boys Toys in Dubai inviting us to bring some bikes over to the UAE as an exhibitor in the cafe racer division of the show. Flattered by the invitation but a little out of our scope at present. Nice to be thought of though... http://www.bigboystoysuae.com

20.01.2022 So many of you know by now that I've made the decision to wind up Addiction Customs formally, and haven't been building for a little while. It's been an amazing ride and I have achieved so many goals I wanted to with building bikes. There are so many reasons for the decision, not the least being my amazing wife, Caroline and two little boys, Connor & Riley, and making sure that I have the time and attention to give to them, and instil in them the goal-setting mentality and t...he belief they can do anything they want. Today however, was tough. Throttle Roll 2016 as a punter only; not a builder, not a Sponsor, not even a rider right now. I will never stop building bikes in my head, and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to express my creativity through motorcycles, and enjoy the feedback from all around the world. Thank you all for your support, encouragement and appreciation. I will build again, probably when my boys are older and we will build a bike together. Til then, ride safe and keep the rubber side down. Nick.

20.01.2022 One of my early resto bikes, a 1982 Suzuki GN250 bought non-running for $500. Loved the colour on this one ______________________ #throwbackthursday #tbt #suzuki #gn250 #builtnotbought #notcustom #addictioncustoms #motorcycle #motorcyclesofinstagram

18.01.2022 Pretty proud to say that both bikes referred to in this article were built by Addiction Customs. Eoin's SR400 (coined the Beach Hopper) and Rory's SR400 did 1600kms return SYDNEY to Byron. Even better though is that Rory just made 4000kms Syd to Perth and he's on the return, 4000kms leg as I type. That's 8000kms on a bike that was built to rip around Bondi. And so far only a lost license plate and tail light. Typical SR vibrations....... I'm proud of these lads, they are true adventurers, and I'm proud that the bikes I build stand up to real road trips like this.

17.01.2022 Next project, I do love a challenge!! Rolling frame with 3 boxes of parts, engine out! 1975 Honda CB360 twin, 5500miles and parked up in 1976 with busted cam tensioner/slipper. Honda recalled them all for this issue at the time but this one never made it. Reinforced tensioner/slipper has been done by previous owner, so we'll put it together and find out what we have. Original NSW rego label from 1976 still attached.

16.01.2022 Another basket case that we just couldn't pass up when it was offered. 1981 Yamaha XS650 Special, our first XS finally, been waiting for one at the right price. Once again we'll bolt it together and see what we have but the frame has already been blasted and hit with satin black 2k and the previous owner has added a Boyer ignition so some decent bits here to start with.

16.01.2022 Throttle Roll 2015 is rocking :)

16.01.2022 Thanks Iason Sarris for spotting this in Vietnam, wish we could say our bike builds have gone global, but no this is just someone ripping off our logo lol

15.01.2022 Stoked to take out Best Japanese Modified at the Surfside Motorcycle Garage show 'n' shine this morning!

15.01.2022 Anyone interested in buying the little 1975 CB360 from the previous few posts, as it is? Running bike, many new factory parts fitted or come with bike, bunch of spares too. Suggest it would need new tyres and tubes plus finishing off in terms of hooking up headlight, fitting indicators etc etc, then blue slip and ride. I had intended to keep her, but I'd been searching for a good XS650 basket case for ages, so now I have one, I want to focus solely on that. Looking to get what we have in it, $3000 firm no offers. If no one interested, we will push forward with both bikes. Cheers

14.01.2022 Built in two days, Shane and Nick worked together to smash this one out over 2 days of Easter. Some small tweaks today and we rode!!

14.01.2022 There it is, officially, Arcanum is for sale

13.01.2022 FOR SALE $3000 kms unknown 1981 Yamaha XS650 Special in parts but complete (all parts present) including spares. Two tanks, two sets of side covers, two wiring looms, lots of spare parts.... Engine turns over, frame etc was sandblasted and painted satin black by previous owner. No time to complete, other projects in the way so off she goes to someone who wants a great base to cafe, hardtail, whatever you like. Has brand new Boyer Bransden ignition. Bike last registered 1996 according to the REVS report and RMS database. I did both checks prior to buying it. Call with questions please 0405004754 Can inspect, northern beaches Sydney. Cheers

13.01.2022 So I just thought I'd share the latest Pipeburn feature here, this epic Zero frame shovel by the talented Carl Cerra of Gasolina in Melbourne. As far as I'm concerned this is world class, well done Carl!

13.01.2022 So we've come this far, little CB360, and you rewarded me with a first kick start after new points, plugs and a timing adjustment. Check it out, I would believe this bike has not been started since 1976 when it was parked up with a busted cam chain tensioner/ slipper. Such a great feeling to give this old girl a new lease on life. She's blowing a bit of smoke but cylinders have good compression so we'll just see what comes of that. Go you little green thing :)

12.01.2022 Fairly stock 1984 SR500 for sale in Sydney by the owner. Minimal basic mods, indicators etc. 9000kms and looks legit this thing is mint. $6500 Email [email protected] __________________ #yamaha #yamahacaferacers #sr500 #caferacerforsale #survivor #motorcycleforsale #sydneycaferacers #sr400

11.01.2022 Well that's pretty cool, thanks Pipeburn for featuring the Beach Hopper! Few facts in the copy aren't quite right but that's ok, I'm stoked to see this fun bike featured. Photos credit: Pat Stevenson http://www.pipeburn.com//85-yamaha-sr400-addiction-customs

11.01.2022 Just a small selection of my favourite photos of my favourite builds. Enjoy.

10.01.2022 Arcanum takes out 1st in the Cafe Racer class at the Barry Sheen Festival of Speed today! Now, someone buy this award-winning bike! LOL

08.01.2022 Another very humbling moment to see my bikes featured in the iconic Japanese annual "SR The Sound of Singles". I have no idea what it says but I'm honoured to share a double-page spread with Deus Ex Machina Motorcycles Thank you Tadashi-san for choosing our humble little workshop.

05.01.2022 Deus Bike Build Off at Bondi today, come on down and say Hi!! It's not raining, I promise ;)

05.01.2022 Seat finished and trimmed in vinyl with suede, really happy with this one, dyno tune the bike tomorrow then tank and tins back from paint in a few days, almost there.... _______________ #yamaha #sr400 #beachhopper #beachlife #custombuilt #custommotorcycle #caferacer #caferacers #addictioncustoms #surflife #builtnotbought #motorcyclesofinstagram

05.01.2022 Here it is, The Beach Hopper finally finished and coming to a beach near you. I could ride this bike all day long, very comfy stance, fat carb for 28 + HP and custom Addiction Customs surfboard rack. Stunning paint and variegated gold leaf detail by Smith Concepts.

02.01.2022 My mate Danny is selling his 1979 SR500 to follow his dreams and head to the US. This is no ordinary SR; 535 kit, high comp, custom cam, the list is long and it's all there in the ad. Get in touch with Danny and be sure to mention Addiction Customs!!!... https://www.facebook.com/cult.leader./posts/883250348361196

01.01.2022 Just a reminder that Throttle Roll 2015 is on again THIS WEEKEND at The Vic in Enmore, Sydney. We will be there, not in any official capacity this year and the first time we haven't built a bike for it, but we're excited to see what the other bike builders of Australia come up with. See ya there!!!
