Toby Grubb and Justin Lewis » 1973 Honda “DCB750”
While most garage builders tend to shy away from technology in their quest to produce something achingly beautiful, that was not the case with Toby Grubb and Justin Lewis, members of Portland, Oregon-based digital creative agency Instrument.
Inspired by “the industrial lines of Jonathan Ive’s MacPro G5” and Apple’s clean design philosophy in general, the Honda boasts a relatively clutter-free look, but without losing any of its functionality. For instance, you get a unique Instrument Mobile Dashboard App that combines a digital speedometer, tachometer, odometer, and a GPS tracking system into a clean and very legible readout that’s displayed on your iPhone.
The aluminium body panels are crafted by Ian Halcott of Twinline Motorcycles.
