SPORTSTER “HAND ON THE TORCH”

SPORTSTER “HAND ON THE TORCH”

SPORTSTER “HAND ON THE TORCH”

This SPORTSTER “HAND ON THE TORCH” is a fast paced scrambler bike customised by Francisco Ali Manen and his team at Lord Drake Kustoms in Malaga (SPAIN).

BASED ON AN ALBUM COVER

At the request of his client, Fran Manen (Owner of LDK) was commissioned to make this Harley Davidson scrambler, but on this occasion, inspired by a very special theme… The cover of a jazz rap band’s album.

The name of the chosen album is “HAND ON THE TORCH” (hence the name of this Sportster Scrambler); an album belonging to the jazz and hip-hop fusion group Us3 and sporting a colourful cover on a cream or beige background. And it was precisely at this point that the client indicated that, instead of cream or beige for the background, he preferred white.

MODIFICATIONS

This Harley Davidson Sportster “HAND ON THE TORCH” is a custom bike built on a XL 883 low and has been based on the transformation of the famous BULTRACKER and SOULBREAKER models that Lord Drake Kustoms usually uses in their customisation work of Harley bikes with scrambler style.

The 2 in 1 exhaust RSD tracker together with Harley BIG SPOKE rims are as usual some of the characteristic components of these models and of course the BMW 1 inch handlebars, the Motogadget Mini odometer integrated in the handlebar turrets.

The mudguards, number plate holder and spoiler are handcrafted by LDK. And the front suspension has been modified and fitted with top covers (on which the name “HAND ON THE TORCH” has been painted) and the rear has been fitted with nothing more and nothing less than a pair of OHLINS shock absorbers for Sportster.

MULTICOLOR

Finally, a spectacular paint job inspired by the album cover with different colours such as blue, orange, red and green on a white background has been used on the two mudguards, fuel tank and also on the number holders. The GMR graphics and the number 411 are two other details airbrushed on the fuel tank and number holders at the customer’s request.

Other parts of the bike are painted in black and white with gold details, such as the front suspension cylinders and the rear swingarm.

ROLLING AT FULL SPEED

This Harley Davidson Sportster “HAND ON THE TORCH” once it was finalised by Lord Drake Kustoms, has found its way into the hands of its owner and is now probably rolling through the streets at full speed thanks to the brutal sound of its exhausts that are music … although not exactly jazz or hip-hop!

TRIUMPH DARK TRACKER

TRIUMPH DARK TRACKER

TRIUMPH DARK TRACKER

In this post we present the transformation of a Triumph Bonneville T100 motorbike that has been done in our Triumph motorbike customization workshop in Malaga (Spain) which we have called “TRIUMPH DARK TRACKER”.

ALL BRAT

It is neither a pure Scrambler style custom bike nor does it have anything to do with the Cafe Racer style; perhaps its best definition would be a Brat style bike which is something Lord Drake Kustoms has been doing for quite some time with the Triumph Bonneville T100.

This “TRIUMPH DARK TRACKER” is a fun, light and funky bike that you can use every day on streets, roads and lanes… hence the idea of the owner of Lord Drake Kustoms (Fran Manen) to do a Triumph Bonneville T100, which is one of his favourite bikes to do this style of transformations.

MODIFICATIONS

At the front, there is an upgraded braking system with a larger diameter brake disc and Brembo brake caliper for Triumph, a Vrod headlight, Motogadget M-blaze disc indicators, Motogadget Pro odometer and Biltwell enduro-style handlebars.

At the rear, the subframe has been shortened and modified, a small rear mudguard has been made with an LED light, a seat upholstered with black diamonds has been added and a new number plate holder with side mounting has been added.

To finish the modification and transformation of this Triumph motorbike, some mixed tyres were installed, new shock absorbers with air bottle, and a lot of details in the engine area such as the crankcase cover, engine guards, side covers, carburettor covers, pinion covers, etc.

MATTE BLACK

The colour is very simple… all matt black except for the Triumph lettering on the tank which has been painted in gold. Many of these black finished parts have been electrostatically powder coated by Metal Colors.

HOMOLOGATION

After completion of the “TRIUMPH DARK TRACKER”, a completely modified motorbike for Spanish territory has been homologated in our own vehicle modification homologation department.

SPORTSTER S 240 DRAKER

The SPORTSTER S 240 DRAKER is the new Harley Davidson Sportster S 1250 with 240 rear wheel that motorbike customiser Francisco Alí Manén and his team at Lord Drake Kustoms have transformed in their motorbike customisation workshop in Málaga (Spain).

Lord Drake Kustoms, with facilities in Miami (USA) and Velez Malaga (SPAIN), is currently one of the leading companies in the transformation of custom Harleys and part of this is because they always try to innovate when it comes to the way they customising motorbikes. This time they have done it again, as they are probably one of the first customisers in the world to have fitted a 240 rear wheel on a Sportster S 1250 1250 with custom rims.

A WHEEL OF 240

The owner of this Harley bike asked Fran Manen (owner of LDK) from the very beginning if this bike could be fitted with a much fatter rear wheel. Fran didn’t hesitate and got down to work and was very motivated, as he had it on very good authority that to date only one other company had installed a 240 rear wheel on a Sportster S worldwide… And he would be and has been the first to do it with spoked rims, in this case big spokes… And that’s how the “SPORTSTER S 240 DRAKER” came into being.

MODIFICATIONS

Handlebars, cut and modified front mudguard, indicators, a small mask over the headlight are some of the components that have been modified on the front of this custom Harley bike.

On the rear a brutal 2 in 1 exhaust finished in black, modification of the subframe, modification of the seat with custom upholstery, handmade Sportster 1250 license plate holder, LED lights and indicators and much more.

And finally, two spectacular BIG SPOKE wheels, with different sizes from the original ones and with a rear wheel measuring 8.5 x 18 to house a 240 Avon tyre on this Harley Davidson Sportster S; with new front and rear brake discs.

HARLEY ORANGE

The icing on the cake was the striking Harley orange paintwork combined with pearl white and black and magnesium brown detailing and pinstriping. The paintwork is particularly noteworthy, with magnesium brown spokes and orange rims with 1250 graphics on the rear rim in black.

HOMOLOGATION

Finally, we proceeded to carry out the homologation and ITV of all the reforms made on this brutal Harley Davidson “SPORTSTER S 240 DRAKER” (with the exception of the exhaust pipe) so that it can roll through the streets of Madrid in the hands of its owner.

BMW R NINE T (M EDITION)

The new beast from Lord Drake Kustoms is a BMW R NINE T which they have called “M EDITION” and which they have customized at their facilities in Vélez Málaga (Spain)… A transformed and totally new motorcycle, which was directly from the BMW dealer to the famous Fran Manen customization workshop.

A NEORACER STYLE

This BMW R NINE T, which Francisco Alí Manén (owner of LDK) has defined as a customized motorcycle with NEORACER style, is a 2023 model, which its owner decided to customize before going out on the street with it for the first time.

MODIFICATIONS

As soon as we arrived at the motorcycle transformation workshop in Malaga, the entire rear part began to be disassembled to modify the subframe and the entire seat, which was upholstered in perforated leatherette with red thread stitching.

A new license plate support with lateral arm has been installed that incorporates the rear turn signals with position and brake light; and a wider rear tire than the original to make a much more aggressive rear.

The spoiler or lower engine cover has been another of the touches that have given a new, more aggressive air to this BMW R NINE T “M EDITION”, together with the conical air filters and the minimalist exhaust pipe and a specialty of Lord Drake Kustoms.

The handlebar has also been replaced by clip-on handlebars, with new mirrors on the grips and the two clocks have been removed to install a new digital odometer with a black screen for the BMW NINE T, finally the front headlight has been smoked.

MATT GRAPHITE GREY

And of course, finally, a spectacular paint in matt graphite gray with the colors of BMW “M”, in addition to painting in matt black almost all the components of the bike that originally came in aluminum color.

The result is a totally transformed BMW motorcycle that, more than a cafe racer motorcycle, is a NEORACER beast, which combines brutality, strength and elegance… and which is called the BMW R NINE T “M EDITION”.

VROD 260 BG

This Harley Davidson Nightrod which has now become the “VROD 260 BG” is a customisation work carried out by Francisco Alí Manén and his team at Lord Drake Kustoms in their Harley motorbike workshop in Spain.

A MOTORBIKE FOR BERTRAND GACHOT

This custom bike was commissioned by Fran Manen (LDK) from a very special and demanding customer (especially when it comes to the motor world). He is none other than former Formula 1 driver and winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Bertrand Gachot.

Anecdotally, it was Michael Schumacher, the Formula 1 driver who was to take Bertrand Gachot’s place at the Jordan team when he had to retire for the season. Currently, Gachot is active in the marketing of Hype energy drinks.

MODIFICATIONS

A 260 rear wheel has been fitted along with a Harley Vrod air suspension and a custom rear mudguard.

SPORTSTER BOBBER RSD

This custom Harley known as “SPORTSTER BOBBER RSD” is a new work of Francisco Alí Manén owner of the motorcycle customization company Lord Drake Kustoms in Vélez Málaga (Spain) and Miami (USA).

CUSTOM RSD RIMS

At first sight it might look like just another bobber bike, built with a Harley Davidson Sportster Iron 883 base… but it’s not.

Several details make the difference in this spectacular work and one of them and perhaps the most important is the black and aluminum RSD custom rims for Harley that have been installed on this custom bike. In addition, the rear is 200 wide and 18 inches in diameter, to give the rear end a more brutal look.

MODIFICATIONS

The LDK team has manufactured the license plate holder, the front fender, the single seat rear fender for Sportster and other details such as the support and bobber seat base.

Half handlebars, a small keel, an LED headlight, turn signals or Santee LAF exhausts are other details to be highlighted together with elements such as the Sportster bobber seat upholstered with diamond design.

MATTE BLACK

The paint has been a simple matte black color throughout the bike except for the graphics of the fuel tank that are white and a small red detail that are the spark plug wires.

DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Fran Manen tells us: “Sometimes a converted bike with a very plain and simple style, can become a very spectacular custom bike, just with a few details that make the difference from the rest… and this is one of those cases… and all thanks to the wheels and the elegance in putting all the parts together in this “SPORTSTER BOBBER RSD”.

This bike can be ordered from anywhere on the planet, Lord Drake Kustoms, has a worldwide motorcycle shipping service… so don’t wait any longer and order yours!

SOFTAIL DELUXE BLACK

SOFTAIL DELUXE BLACK

SOFTAIL DELUXE BLACK

This Softail Deluxe Black, also known as Deluxe “OM TIBETAN” is a new Harley Davidson customised by Lord Drake Kustoms in the motorbike workshop in Malaga Spain.

“OM TIBETAN”

This custom bike was originally a Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe, which has now undergone a radical custom transformation with a beautiful paint job combining different shades of black and dark grey and above all we must highlight the emblems and graphics that have been placed … the OM symbol … hence its name. “OM TIBETAN”

For the owner of this custom bike it was essential for the OM symbol to be present on the bike, as it is one of the most important symbols in the manifestation of our personal protection and has the spiritual power of being the sacred symbol of the universe… among other very important characteristics.

Fran Manen (owner of Lord Drake Kustoms) in collaboration with the owner of this Harley Davidson, has followed a pattern in terms of design to obtain the final result, which will leave no one indifferent.

MODIFICATIONS

Custom wheels with 240 rear tyre, Legend hydraulic softail suspension, modified and extended 2″ inch fuel tank, custom fabricated rear wing with built in LED.

Seat detail

Custom-made exhausts with Vance and Hines Mini Grenades tails, Harley Davidson air filter to match the rims or a custom-made tie rod… these are some of the highlights of this Softail Deluxe Black “OM TIBETAN”.

Detail of the fuel tank

Motogadget blaze disc LED turn signals on the grips, an almost 3″ thick handlebar, custom-made number plate holder, custom-made seat, MMB odometer and lap counter are some of the other components.

GRAPHITE GRAY

The base paint of this Harley customised at Lord Drake Kustoms España, is dark graphite grey almost black combined with gloss black and matt black; to which several red details have been added such as the brake calipers or the spark plug wires.

On the engine, front suspension, front end and other elements, all chrome plating has been removed with electrostatic powdercoating by Metalcolors.

And the finishing touch is the OM symbols placed on the petrol tank and other points. They say that chanting the OM mantra has cardiovascular benefits as through the vibration the body relaxes, blood pressure is reduced and the heart beats at a regular rhythm… but we think that people who see this bike passing by will find the opposite to be true and will either gasp for breath or their heart rate will accelerate!

VROD 300 BLACK&RED

The best words to define this bike are probably “Elegant and Brutal” … and so is the new VROD 300 BLACK&RED customised by Lord Drake Kustoms in his workshop located in Malaga (SPAIN).

BASED ON A NIGHT ROD SPECIAL

Francisco Ali Manén (owner of LDK), received a call from a client from Portugal, who wanted a customised Harley Davidson Vrod and after a while of conversation the decision was made that it would be a Night Rod Special with a wide rear wheel kit that started with a 260 and ended up with a 300 wheel.

MODIFICATIONS

First of all, Fran Manen chose a Vrod Nightrod Special from the last year of production, a perfect base for this job, which also comes standard with an upside-down front suspension fork and a powerful 120 hp engine.

After deciding that a 300 wheel would be fitted in the end, a Harley Davidson wide rear wheel kit with custom rims and a 300 wide rear tyre and all the necessary modifications to the chassis and subframe, transmission, rear suspension, etc. was installed.
