When we talk about top-level custom motorcycles, it’s inevitable to mention Lord Drake Kustoms, a brand that has transcended borders and become an international benchmark in the world of custom motorcycles. But how did it all begin? The story begins in Malaga, at the hands of a man with a clear vision and indomitable passion: Fran Manen.
The beginning of a dream
From a very young age, Fran felt a strong connection with motorcycles. What began as a hobby soon transformed into a lifestyle. But his story goes beyond his passion for two wheels: he was also a musician, entrepreneur, and tireless traveler. It was precisely on one of his trips, specifically to the United States, that he found the inspiration that would change his life forever.
There, he became fascinated by custom culture and the American biker lifestyle. What would later become Lord Drake Kustoms was born in a Miami garage. The name is no coincidence: “Lord” represents elegance and distinction; “Drake” symbolizes adventure and rebellion; and “Kustoms” reflects the soul of the workshop, where each bike is unique, handmade, and with its own character.
From Miami to Malaga… and to the world
After several years in the US, Fran decided to bring his experience and style to Europe. He established his main office in Malaga, Spain, and opened a second workshop in Miami, thus consolidating LDK’s presence on both sides of the Atlantic.
In a very short time, Lord Drake Kustoms began to stand out on the international scene, participating in high-level competitions and winning numerous awards and recognitions. His creations have been published in specialized magazines around the world, and some of his models have become icons of custom design.
More than motorcycles: a way of life
What sets LDK apart isn’t just the quality of its motorcycles, but the personal and artistic approach it brings to each project. Each motorcycle is a work of art on wheels, designed to reflect its owner’s personality and bear Fran Manen’s unmistakable style.
Today, Lord Drake Kustoms is a must-see in the world of modified Harley-Davidsons, café racers, scramblers, bobbers, and more. Customers from Europe, America, Asia, and the Middle East trust the brand to make their two-wheeled dreams come true.
The future on wheels
With an unstoppable trajectory, Lord Drake Kustoms continues to grow, innovate, and set trends. And the best is yet to come. Because as Fran Manen says: “It’s not just about motorcycles, it’s about passion, art, and freedom.”
