Based in the mountains of Cazadero, in Northern California, the Kraus Motor Company is one of a kind that produces motorcycles one would only dream to design. Each bike that leaves the company is an original and unique creation which will be seen noweher else, but in the canyons around there.

It is powered by a low-mounted 1965 Harley-Davidson panhead, and the frame has been crafted by hand and when it was completed it was nickel-plated. It’s raked out front forks, topped with classic bicycle-inspired handlebars is one of the highlights of the bike and its design which have made the look unique..

Interestingly the bike does have rear suspension, allowing 2.5″ of rear
travel, I’ve included a close up of the rear hub below for those
interested in a closer look. It reminds me a little of the softail
system used by Zero Engineering although the Kraus system is far more
subtle.

Five golden rings on the oil bag that is symbolic of five samurai strategies namely earth, water, fire, wind, and void and that is a very deep and meaningful addition to the bike. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VEHICLE PASSION]
