Making a cafe racer with a Triumphis probably one of the motorcycle transformation jobs in Spain that had the least demand until a few years ago; But it is true that the custom motorcycle market is changing and that the new Triumph motorcyclemodels are making the English brand one of the most demanded brands when it comes to look for a cafe racer motorcycle.
Lord Drake Kustoms, since his beginnings in his custom workshop in Miami, has bet heavily on the modification and transformation of Triumph motorcycles, even in his cafe racer workshop in Spain (which is where he had the least demand for custom Triumph motorcycles)
In particular Francisco Ali Manen (owner of LDK) is passionate about Triumph Bonneville, Thruxton and Scrambler; and this has been the main reason why our company has always defended that making a cafe racer with a Triumph is one of the best choices when it comes to customize a motorcycle.
We have carried out customization work for Triumph cafe racer motorcycles with the Bonneville and Scrambler models mainly. And in the last two years we have noticed how our customers in Spain have increasingly asked us for a Triumph cafe racer.
Our motorcycle transformation workshop in Malaga is specialized in the modification and customization of Triumph motorcycles; and there are many cafe racer, scrambler or brat models that we have transformed for clients in Spain.
When it comes to making a cafe racer-style Triumph, our favorite model is the Bonneville T100 or the T120. Since this motorcycle base to customize or transform, is perfect for building a full-fledged cafe racer, since its geometry and chassis have the necessary characteristics to make a good modification and become a true cafe racer motorcycle.
Specifically, the custom Triumph Bonneville T100 carbureted bikes (along with the Harley Davidson Sportster) are our preferred models when choosing a fun and versatile bike to customize, regardless of whether it is cafe racer, scrambler or brat style.
For example, when our clients have doubts or ask us if we would choose a BMW cafe racer or a Triumph, our answer is resounding: a cafe racer style Triumph … by age, performance, versatility and price.
But above all, the demand has not stopped growing, thanks to the officially licensed Harley mechanics with more than 15 years of experience that we have incorporated into the Lord Drake Kustoms staff in Spain.
Until now, many people thought that we only make transformations of Harley Davidson motorcycles in our workshop in Malaga, but it is not like that.
Remapping and diagnosis of Harley Davidson with DIAG4BIKE, repairs, revisions, maintenance, painting, chrome, upholstery, collection, parts and accessories, homologations or home delivery of motorcycles are some of the specialized Harley workshop services that we offer in our facilitiesin Malaga .

The growth of the motorcycle customization sector in Spain has been so great in recent years that not only are custom motorcycles or Harley transformed; But any motorcycle, whatever style it is, is valid to be modified or transformed into a cafe racer … even the “performance bikes” famous for their great power and to which until now only modifications related to performance were made.
Proof of this is that in our motorcycle transformation workshop in Malaga, we see the number of large displacement sports bikes increasing every day to be customized and transformed without a defined style at times, but with a unique and personal aesthetic. “I don’t care if it’s a cafe racer or scrambler modification, I just want to customize and give my bike a different touch,” many customers who own these performance bikes tell us.
For example, we have carried out modification and customization work for large-displacement motorcycles on models such as the Yamaha MT01, BMW R1200S, Ducati 999, BMW R NINE T or Buell 1125 R; To name a few of the performance bikes that we have turned into cafe racer bikes even with touches of scrambler.
In 2019, the total number of motorcycles in Spain was 3.1 million units, of which just over 14% were motorcycles with more than 84 hp of power or also called high-performance motorcycles or performance bikes. In Malaga, we are the fourth city in Spain with the highest number of motorcycles of this type, behind Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.
These data make it clear that at the moment motorcycles enjoy a good acceptance throughout the country, and at Lord Drake Kustoms, after studying the sales statistics, we have again verified that in coastal areas and large cities, they are where the more acceptance motorcycles have.
It is for this reason that the transformation of high-performance motorcycles or performance bikes in Malaga and other cities such as Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia will not stop growing in the future …
So do not be surprised when you see real beasts on two wheels with the appearance of beautiful custom motorcycles or cafe racer … In the end the beasts have also chosen to take care of their image and become beautiful!

This post that we publish today is not to talk about customizing a motorcycle. It is a post aimed at all of you who are parents, uncles, grandparents … or simply think that children are the essence of life.
Today has been a very big day for Francisco Alí Manén and our company Lord Drake Kustoms, because after several months we have managed to make the start of a GREAT PROJECT a reality…. probably one of the most important projects that we will do in our career both personally and professionally… and also in Malaga where we have one of our motorcycle transformation workshops.
It is not about transforming a Harley Davidson for a world championship, nor about winning a prize, nor about making a famous motorcycle … it is something much simpler and that cannot be paid with money or with prizes … “The best and most beautiful of this life cannot be seen or touched, it must be felt with the heart”
Almost a year ago in the midst of a pandemic, a friend and client (thank you David) told us about the difficulties that the OLIVARES FOUNDATION dedicated to supporting children with cancer and sponsored by singer Pablo Alborán and to study the possibility of seeing some way of collaborating with them and meeting Andrés Olivares, their president and founder.
A few days later we met, talked and after learning about the history of the foundation and, above all, knowing how hard the day-to-day life of these children with cancer and their families can be, we shaped a campaign that begins today.
Today finally, Fran Manen shook hands with Andrés Olivares, president and founder of the Olivares Foundation to kick off a project in which we are going to customize a unique motorcycle, but not unique because of the motorcycle itself, not because it is a Harley or because it has very nice rims … It will be a unique custom motorcycle for what it is going to represent.
This bike, once finished, will be raffled off and will be the flagship of a great campaign of events that we are going to carry out jointly by the “Olivares Foundation” and our company “Lord Drake Kustoms”.
All the funds raised in the raffle for this customized Harley Davidson and from the rest of the activities will be donated entirely to the foundation, so that they can continue their work to support children with cancer and their families.
In our workshopswe have a giant poster of a man almost flying on a motorcycle that says: “4 wheels move the body … 2 wheels move the soul!” … I hope that the two wheels of this motorcycle that we are going to make move the souls of many people and we manage to raise as much money as possible to help these great fighters who take care of our children … Yes, we say ours, it is a problem that you it can touch you, me or anyone….
So fasten your seat belts because we are going to take off in this project transforming and modifying an impressive motorcycle, which we hope will arouse the admiration of everyone and above all that it touches the soul so that we make sure that children suffering from cancer do not lose their childhood.
Fran Manen
PS: Before starting the project, we want to thank Andrés Olivares, Paula and the rest of the Fundación Olivares team for the trust you have placed in us, for the great work and good you do … and above all, MANY THANK YOU for everything you have taught us during the visit to your facilities….
What we have seen today cannot be seen with the eyes… it can only be seen with the heart!
