One of the most intriguing topics among two-wheel enthusiasts is how much it costs to customize a motorcycle. At Lord Drake Kustoms, with years of experience in motorcycle customization in Spain and internationally, we can say that the price depends on many factors: from the base motorcycle to the chosen style and level of customization.
Price to customize a motorcycle
The cost of customizing a motorcycle can range from around 3,000 euros to figures determined only by the client’s budget. For an acceptable level of transformation with quality finishes, the typical investment is between 5,000 and 15,000 euros (excluding the motorcycle).
When it comes to custom motorcycles for exhibition or show bikes, there’s no limit: we’re talking about exclusive projects with handcrafted details, custom paint, and extreme modifications that can far exceed these figures.
Factors that determine the price of customizing a motorcycle
Base motorcycle make and model: Not all motorcycles allow the same level of customization.
Level of customization: From cosmetic modifications to complete projects with modified chassis and custom parts.
Homologation: Some modifications require homologation, which adds cost.
Quality of materials and finishes: Chrome, fiberglass, handcrafted upholstery, or baked-on paint can make a difference in your budget.
Harleys: the queens of custom
If there’s one model that can handle virtually any type of transformation, it’s the Harley-Davidson. Its mechanics, robustness, and design make it perfect for high-budget projects.
However, there are models in which it is not worth investing large sums, either due to technical limitations or their market value.
What motorcycles do we customize at Lord Drake Kustoms?
At Lord Drake Kustoms, we work exclusively with top-brand motorcycles of medium to high displacement. We do not customize 125cc motorcycles or Chinese or Asian brands, as we focus on high-quality, long-lasting projects.

In this article, we present seven of our best custom bikes, from powerful bobbers to unique café racers, so you can discover why our work is recognized around the world.
1. BMW SURVIVOR – Bobber Springer with post-apocalyptic style
The BMW R100 SURVIVOR is a springer bobber that stands out for its survivalist aesthetic. With aged finishes, hand-welded construction, and a springer-style front suspension, this bike looks like something out of a post-apocalyptic movie, but ready to conquer the road.
The Harley-Davidson Softail ENVY is synonymous with elegance and extreme customization. Its metallic-effect candy green paint, chrome trim, and a low-slung silhouette make it one of the most exclusive Harley Softails we’ve ever created.
A custom Indian Scout inspired by the café racer world, but with a modern and aggressive touch. It features a 240 mm rear tire, a modified chassis, and details that combine neo-retro style with spectacular performance.
The BMW R Nine T GULF pays tribute to the iconic Gulf Racing livery. Its blue and orange colors, racing finishes, and sporty stance make this bike one of the most admired custom BMWs among classic motorsports enthusiasts.
The Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 883 “1925” recaptures the essence of vintage motorcycles with handcrafted fenders, a vintage tank, and retro paint. A design reminiscent of the 1920s, but with all the reliability and power of a modern motorcycle.
The BMW K1 was conceived as a futuristic motorcycle in its time, but at Lord Drake Kustoms, we transformed it into an exclusive café racer. Minimalist lines, modified fairing, and a finish make it a one-of-a-kind piece.
The Harley-Davidson V-Rod Nightrod Racer 330 is pure power and aggression. With a 330 mm rear tire kit, black and red accents, and dragster styling, it’s one of our most radical custom Harley V-Rods.

The world of custom motorcycle design is constantly evolving, and in 2025, we’re seeing how creativity, technology, and sustainability will drive new trends. At Lord Drake Kustoms, where we merge art and mechanics, we’re already working on projects that reflect the trends that will dominate this year. Want to know what’s hot in the custom world? We’ll tell you all about it here.
1. Minimalism with personality
This year, less is more. Minimalist designs are in fashion, with clean lines and a refined aesthetic, but without losing character. Satin finishes, matte tones, and monochromatic colors take center stage, always with details that give each bike its unique identity.
2. Retro-futuristic inspiration
The blend of vintage and modern is more alive than ever. We’ll see many cafe racers and scramblers with futuristic touches: LED headlights, 3D-printed components, and carbon fiber elements alongside classic tanks and brat-style seats. It’s the new interpretation of neo-retro, where nostalgia is reinvented.
3. Ecological and sustainable custom
More and more clients are asking us for sustainable projects. The use of recycled materials, eco-friendly paints, and optimized components to reduce environmental impact are part of the new DNA of custom bikes. Even electric conversions on classic motorcycles are beginning to make their way, without sacrificing style or soul.
4. Bold colors and unique textures
While black remains king, shades like olive green, copper, satin bronze, and petrol blue are gaining ground. We’ll also see more textured finishes, such as rough metals, rust effects, or chameleon paint, which change color depending on the light.
5. Extreme customization
Personalization isn’t new, but in 2025 it’s being pushed to the limit. From custom-made parts to hyper-realistic airbrushing, to digital components that allow customers to interact with their bike. Bikes aren’t just unique, they’re now smarter too.
At Lord Drake Kustoms, we create the trends
At our motorcycle customization workshop in Malaga and Miami, we don’t just follow trends, we create them. We approach each project as a work of art on wheels, adapting to each client’s style without losing our core: quality, innovation, and passion for motorcycles.

The world of custom motorcycles continues to grow, and more and more two-wheel enthusiasts are choosing to customize their bikes to make them unique. But have you ever wondered which are the most modified motorcycle brands in the world?
At Lord Drake Kustoms, with workshops in Malaga and Miami, we’ve been working with all types of models and styles for years. From café racers to bobbers, scramblers, and brat-style bikes, we’ve customized motorcycles from a variety of brands. However, there are some that, due to their design, mechanics, or history, have earned their place in the world of customization.
1. Harley-Davidson
Harley-Davidson is undoubtedly the most iconic brand in the custom world. Its simple mechanics, robust chassis, and classic aesthetic make it the perfect base for any type of transformation. From Sportster to Softail to Dyna, Harleys dominate the custom world in their own right.
2. BMW
In recent years, BMWs have become the kings of the café racer and scrambler style. Models like the BMW R100 and the BMW R NineT are highly prized for their retro design and versatility in modifications without sacrificing reliability.
3. Triumph
The British brand Triumph is another favorite among custom bike builders. Its Bonneville, Thruxton, and Scrambler models perfectly combine a classic look with great performance, making them ideal for vintage or neoclassical projects.
4. Honda
Particularly in the classic Japanese motorcycle segment, Honda CBs (such as the CB750 and CB550) are some of the most modified in the world. More modern models like the Rebel and Shadow are also gaining ground in the bobber world.
5. Yamaha
Yamaha, with its famous XS650 and the modern XSR700, also occupies a prominent place. Their simple design and mechanical reliability make them perfect candidates for those looking for a retro-style custom or street tracker.
6. Ducati
Although not as common as other brands, Ducati has also entered the world of custom motorcycles, especially with models like the Ducati Scrambler, which has been designed to be easily customizable. Its unique aesthetic and sporty character make it ideal for more daring projects.

At Lord Drake Kustoms, we’ve been customizing Harley-Davidsons for clients around the world for years. Throughout this time, we’ve created unique, daring motorcycles with a striking personality. Today we want to present our Top 5 most radical Harleys, authentic gems on wheels that have marked a before and after in our workshop.
1. ENVY – A Softail that arouses envy
The ENVY isn’t a motorcycle, it’s a statement. This Harley Softail Deluxe has been transformed into a rolling work of art, where the metallic green color and multi-component gold trim live up to its name. Air suspension, custom wheels, ape-hanger handlebars, and a low, aggressive stance make this one of the most striking bikes to ever come out of our shop.
Inspired by the old-school bobber style, the SOULBREAKER is a Harley Sportster 1200 converted into a dark, minimalist, and powerful machine. Clean lines, a matte finish, and details evoke a bygone era… but with a 21st-century attitude. It’s been one of our most admired bikes at trade shows and on social media, and for good reason.
The RED BARON takes its name from the legendary World War I pilot, and it’s no coincidence. This Harley Dyna Street Bob has been redesigned as a combat bike: rugged, imposing, and with a modern military aesthetic. Its matte red paint with black accents, headlight grille, solo seat, and short exhaust make it a true urban beast.
The Springer Bobber Blue is a perfect fusion of retro and contemporary. Based on a Harley-Davidson Softail Springer, this bike blends the distinctive springer-style front end with an elegant and refined bobber style. Its pearlescent blue paint and chrome finishes stand out on a bike that pays homage to the past while still looking to the future.
5. URBANTRACKER – The scrambler that conquered the city
The URBANTRACKER is proof that a Harley can also be a modern, functional scrambler. We took a Sportster 883 and transformed it into a motorcycle ready for any terrain, with dual-cowl tires, a raised exhaust, a flat seat, and tracker styling. Its aggressive and versatile design has made it one of our most popular bikes among those looking to break the rules.
Every motorcycle that leaves Lord Drake Kustoms is unique. Behind every project lies a story, a dream, and a handcrafted process that we carefully curate from the very beginning. Want to know how we work and the steps we take to transform a motorcycle into a work of art on wheels? We’ll tell you step by step:
1. First contact
It all starts when a client writes or calls us with an idea: sometimes clear, sometimes just a desire for a different kind of motorcycle. From there, we begin to shape the project.
2. Chat and brainstorming with Fran Manen
Fran Manen, founder of Lord Drake Kustoms, personally speaks with the client. This conversation is crucial: tastes, references, styles are shared, and a brainstorming session begins that sets the course for the transformation.
3. Closed budget
Once the concept is defined, a detailed, transparent, and straightforward quote is presented. This is where the type of motorcycle, finishes, colors, parts, and level of customization are specified.
4. Acceptance of the budget
With the budget approved, the adventure begins! We get to work making your dream motorcycle a reality.
5. Motorcycle search or customer pickup
If the client already has a motorcycle, we’ll pick it up. If not, we’ll find and source the ideal base for the project, whether it’s a Harley, a BMW, a Triumph, or any other brand.
6. Start of the transformation (with graphical tracking)
This is where the real magic begins. Throughout the entire process, we provide comprehensive visual monitoring with photos and videos, and maintain direct contact with the client to show progress, make joint decisions, and ensure everything is to their satisfaction.
7. Finishing and final approval
Once the bike is finished, the customer reviews every detail. Only when they’re completely satisfied do we consider the project complete.
8. Professional report
We produce a professional photo and video report to capture the result. Each motorcycle deserves to be captured for what it is: a unique piece of design and customization.
9. Shipping to the customer
The motorcycle is delivered or shipped directly to the customer, wherever they are. We’ve worked with clients all over the world, and we take care of every delivery as if it were our own.
10. Publication on social networks or the web
Depending on the model, the project is posted on our social media or the Lord Drake Kustoms website. And many of our bikes have been featured in international media!
This is our process. This is how we work at Lord Drake Kustoms: handcrafted, friendly, and passionate. Because we don’t just transform motorcycles… we transform dreams into metal, paint, and power.
