[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our Soulbreaker was the first of a long collection of Harleys cusmomized in Off Road / Scrambler style in Lord Drake Kustoms.
In addition to cover, Biker Zone made a report on his number 251.
We leave you with the transcript of the report.
SOULBREAKER – LORD DRAKE KUSTOMS
As the name says this motorcycle is “the soul part”, the one that will break your heart … and why this name?

As the owner of Lord Drake Kustoms, Francisco Ali Manen, tells us, the answer is very easy: many told me it was impossible to make a field Harley or a Scrambler, something so radical! and I knew that when they saw more than one of them the soul was going to split; and here they have the answer to its impossible, the “Soulbreaker”.
We have seen Francisco succeed far from Spain as a builder. It has been the cover of Biker Zone with an H-D motor racer, and its bikes of various styles have appeared on this occasion in your magazine and always for reasons more than justified by the prizes won in meetings held in the USA. where I was building until recently. Now we enjoy their jobs here, in Europe.
“THE SOULBREAKER, WILL BE THE FIRST OF A SERIES OF MOTORCYCLES TYPE OFF ROAD / SCRAMBLER THAT I HAVE THOUGHT TO DO. ALL WILL BE DIFFERENT AND WITH A SPECIAL ATTRACTION “
Francisco Ali Manen, who has been living in the United States for long periods has some maxims that he tries to respect and as he himself tells us: “There are two norms in Lord Drake Kustoms that we remain faithful to, the first one: trying to always make different bikes and the second: that there is nothing impossible “.
And this bike is the test. We are tired of always seeing the same bikes in the world of customization and especially with the Harleys, the same style of a lifetime and are even copies of each other. Many tell me that I am a “transgressor” in a world of purists … I simply believe that there is life beyond what we see with our eyes … we are in 2014 and the world of customization is expanding as never before. You can keep looking back or discover new ways! And what better way to discover new roads, than to put taco wheels on a Harley and enter a dirt road or simply cross country.
“MANY TELL ME THAT I AM A” TRANSGRESSOR “IN A WORLD OF PURISTS … I SIMPLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS LIFE BEYOND WHAT WE SEE WITH OUR EYES”
The Soulbreaker is going to be the first of a series of off road / scrambler bikes that I plan to do. All will be different and with a special attraction, but that you will soon see … I can tell you that I am already working on the second one. But focusing on the first, we wanted to make some motorcycles to open our branch in Europe (more specifically in Malaga, Spain); jobs that would have to talk, and this Sportster has done it.
And so much that has given to talk, has been in third place in the Sportster category, in the European bike show Harley-Davidson held in St. Tropez, France, a few weeks ago, and we have two orders to make two of this style . What if! it’s style, that’s what it’s about, to create styles and tendencies not to copy, trace and repeat. This bike is in the new facilities that Lord Drake Kustoms has opened in our country, as I said before, in Malaga.
