Again, as usual on these custom BMW bikes, the entire original subframe has been removed and left single seater by fabricating a new subframe to support the black Biltwell diamond patterned BMWbobber hanging seat.
Other highlights include a Biltwelltracker handlebar with downward position, a Motogadget Mini odometer, LED indicators, BMW R number plate holder, auxiliary headlight and custom-made mudguards.

Of course, a pair of Continental TKC80scrambler tyres complete the scrambler look of this BMW R and together with some Lord Drake Kustoms logos on the front suspension bottles, modified exhausts with black heat tape and minimalist tails or round cafe racer style mirrors on the handlebar ends give this BMW R the look it deserves as BMW R100 “CANDY RED”
The end result of the bobber scrambler style transformation on this custom bike has been spectacular; largely due to the candy red colour used on the fuel tank and front wing, which gives this custom bike its name… BMW R100 Candy Red!
On this BOBBER SCRAMBLER motorbike, Francisco Alí Manén (owner of Lord Drake Kustoms) in addition to choosing the beautiful candy red colour for the bodywork, has used a combination of different shades of black applied with electrostatic powdercoating in the Metalcolors company.
HOMOLOGATION
Finally, our homologation department at Lord Drake Kustoms has been in charge of homologating the modifications made on a converted motorbike for the Spanish territory like this BMW BOBBER SCRAMBLER.
A Harley Sportster XL 883 R that came into the hands of Francisco Alí Manén (owner of Lord Drake Kustoms) and that had to be done with a very retro and elegant style; so he decided to make a Harley bobber with a very classic and vintage colors.
The first thing a bobber rear fender fitted to the wheel with side supports all completely handmade and made of metal that has been installed after cutting the entire subframe. A license plate bracket with side arm for Harley, also made by LDK and of course a Biltwellbobber seat with custom made anchors.

At the front the front fender has been modified and the fork travel has been embellished with rubber bellows and metal covers for the seatpost area. A front spoiler made of metal and a small handlebar mini ape form the set of this Sportster Bobber BabyBlue.

The exhausts have been custom made at Lord Drake Kustoms, which together with the minimalist air filter, have left the engine exposed. We have also installed lower shocks and all this transformation of Harley bobber has been completed with details such as biltwell turrets, mini odometer, LED turn signals under the button panels, mirrors grips, etc…
However, the most important thing to highlight in this customized motorcycle by Lord Drake Kustoms; is its painting…, a combination of babyblue and creamy white with antique gold accents that has given the Sportster Bobber BabyBlue an impressive look and that has been finished off with the upholstery of the seat in brown leather.
HOMOLOGATION
All the work done on this custom Harley Davidson has been homologated for the territory of Spain … and then this bike transformed, has been delivered to its owner to enjoy riding through the streets of a beautiful Harley Davidson Bobber.
It is not the first time that this local television invites Lord Drake Kustoms to participate in their broadcasts, always showing a great interest in the work that Fran Manen and his team do in the province of Malaga.
In the world of custom motorcycles, Lord Drake Kustoms is a brand that has always stood out for its unique style and attention to detail. In 2022 our company has released some seriously impressive bikes that we are excited to share with you all.
So, once the year is over, we are going to review the 21 best custom motorcycles that LDK has manufactured throughout all of this 2022.
BOBBER ARMY
First on our list is the Sportster Bobber Army. This has been one of the bikes that our fans liked the most this year. It is a motorcycle that came directly from a Harley dealer to our customization workshop. The base model was a 2021 Sportster 48 Forty Eight and we have turned it into a nice Bobber with a “retro” feel, in the style of the old military Harleys used in the war.
This BMW R18 “BOBBER STEEL” has been the first R18 that we have modified but not the last because we have already worked on customizing two other motorcycles of the same model from the German brand.
YAMAHA XT BLUE
This Yamaha Scrambler is the third XT 600 that Lord Drake Kustoms has recently transformed in Spain and this time they have achieved an authentic scrambler motorcycle with a mythical base with the Yamaha XT 600 from the late 90s.
VROD 330
The used base used for this 330 VROD was a 2014 Harley Davidson Nightrod Special.
BMW R BRASS
This new convertedBMW R “BRASS” has a mix of scrambler, bobber and cafe racer motorcycle styles. The base model is a BMW R45 and stands out for having its own identity that is given by the combination of colors used and by the combination of motorcycle transformation styles it represents: Cafe Racer for its clip-on handlebars, Scrambler for its knobby tires and Bobber for its your seat and back.
SPORTSTER GULF
This Sportster Bobber has been carefully modified from start to finish. A shorter handcrafted front fender, bobber rear fender for Harley Sportster fitted to the wheel with highly detailed handcrafted brackets have been installed.
BMW BABY BLUE
BMW “BABYBLUE” is the name we have given to this mix of BMW cafe racer and scramblercustomized. The motorcycle transformed in this case has been a BMW R100 that mixes components from very different custom motorcycle styles, such as the cafe racer and the scrambler.
SPORTSTER GRAYRACER
The base transformed motorcycle has been a Sportster Iron 883. As for the style of customization of a bike like this, basically we can say that it is a cafe racer motorcycle modified on a Harley Sportster.
BMW R18 BOBBER BLACK
Lord Drake Kustoms received this BMW R18 from its owner, to be a completely modified motorcycle. But with one condition; and it is that it had to maintain the original black color, with white lines and chrome components.
SPORTSTER BOBBER 02
This custom motorcyclecame to us from the North of Spain and its owner wanted an authentic Harley Davidson bobber, but with more spectacular looking and size rims… and above all he wanted to keep thecolors and graphics of the original Sportster penaut gas tank. The base model is a 2002 Harley Davidson Sportster that we have done a real Bobber bike modification job on.
BMW R SPORT EDITION
The BMW SURVIVOR broke the mold when it was presented to the public and proof of this is that several units of the limited edition have already been sold in just 8 months. But we realized that the motorcycle is very successful but it is a cafe racer motorcycle for a very small audience due to its exclusivity and high cost; It is also a custom bike more for a museum than to ride with it. For this reason, we decided to release a cheaper version and, above all, more versatile and for the street… that’s where the new BMW R SPORT EDITION was born.
SPORTSTER BOBBER GREEN 69
Lord Drake Kustoms received this previously customized Sportster 1200in an artisanal and very precarious way from a Madrid client. Its owner wanted to keep the original rims and engine chrome and also wanted the bike to be green. The rest was basically left to Lord Drake Kustoms.
BMW K100 M SCRAMBLER
This BMW K100 “M SCRAMBLER” has been dressed in the colors of the “M” edition of the cars of the German brand. Its owner wanted it to be a scrambler-style motorcycle but as low as possible, with country tires and above all the seat had to be red and the fuel tank in the colors of BMW M.
VROD BLACK WIDOW
For this VROD Black Widow , a Harley Vrod Street has been used as a base,a custom model of the American brand that is somewhat different from the rest of the first Vrods and that was also characterized by being taller and having intermediate foot controls and by having a nice inverted hairpin.
FATBOT AIRWHITE
Lord Drake Kustoms was commissioned by a client who already had this 2011 Harley Fat Boy and who wanted to give it a touch of an exclusive and transformed motorcycle but with a very important premise… it had to keep the two seats and be as comfortable as possible for the rider. passenger.
VICTORY HAMMER
Lord Drake Kustoms does not usually say “NO” and this time we have shown it with the customization of this Victory Hammer 8 Ball that his client was about to sell because he thought that it could not be modified or transformed into something more attractive.
SPORTSTER BOBBER GLOSS BLACK
This Sportster bobber has been customized on a 2007 Harley Davidson Sportster Low that had been in an accident. Its owner wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to repair the damage and keep it original; turn it into a single-seater bobber bike.
SOFTAIL BOBBER STANDARD
The exact model that we have used for this bobber style motorcycle modificationhas been the new Harley Softail Standard of the year 2020. A powerful beast from the American motorcycle brand with a Milwaukee-Eight engine and a displacement of 1750 cc… in addition to the new chassis with a damping system different from that of the classic softail models.
BMW 1150R SCRAMBLER
On this occasion, we have achieved a brutal, strong and tough looking BMW Scrambler. All this, despite the fact that the R1150R models and their little sister the R850R, are perhaps somewhat complicated motorcycles to use as a basis for a good motorcycle transformation, (due to their fuel tank and front suspension system).
Canal Sur, the Andalusian television program “Los Repobladores” has made an in-depth report on Fran Manen. This program seeks Andalusians who have returned to their homeland to continue developing their activity or a new one. These are people who have succeeded in other parts of the world and decided to return to their roots.
The report covers Fran’s life and also shows the people close to him in his life, such as his family, his workers and his friends, as they travel through picturesque places in his region.
The program aired on January 1, 2023 and can be viewed below.
This DUCATI S4R “NEORACER” is not the first motorcycle of the Italian brand that Lord Drake Kustoms has customized in his motorcycle transformation workshop in Spain, although it is one of the most striking modification jobs on a Ducati motorcycle that he has done so far.
A MODERN AND SPORTY CAFE RACER
To carry out the work on this custom bike, Fran Manen (owner of Lord Drake Kustoms) has chosen a 2004 Ducati Monster S4R with its characteristic and beautiful single-sided swingarm as a base.
The first idea was to make a Ducati cafe racer in the purest classic style, but it was decided to change it for something less classic with an air that combined the style of cafe racer motorcycles with more modern and sporty airs.
Once completely disassembled, the first thing that has been done has been to modify the entire subframe and the rear part of the motorcycle. Subsequently, a license plate support with a side arm has been manufactured and both the front and rear suspensions have been modified.Handcrafted seat
License plate support and rear suspension
A completely handmade seat has been manufactured and clip-on handlebars have been installed to give this DUCATI S4R “NEORACER” a more radical look and position.
Handcrafted seat
Motogadget M Blaze turn signals at the ends of the Biltwell grips, led headlight and custom exhaust are other details to highlight. Although the icing on the cake are the impressive spoked wheels for Ducati, custom made for this Monster S4R custom.
The front suspension legs have been anodized in gold, the chassis and other components have been painted in matt black (with baked electrostatic powder coating).
And finally, the tank and fenders in matt graphite gray to give the brutal and elegant appearance to this modification work on a Ducati Monster.
Homologation
Finally, and all this in Lord Drake Kustoms; We have carried out the homologation of the reforms for Spain of a cafe racer motorcycle or rather “Neoracer” as we call this DUCATI S4R NEORACER.

This beautiful SPORTSTER BOBBER GOLDBLACK is the result of a Harley Sportster 1200 transformation by Fran Manen and his team at Lord Drake Kustoms.
BASED ON A SPORTSTER 1200
Some people think that the base of this beautiful bobber bike is a Harley Davidson Forty Eight 48, but it’s not… it’s actually a Sportster 1200customised at the Lord Drake Kustomsmotorbike workshop in Spain.
Highlights include the 200 Sportster rear wheel fitted and the Harleybobber mudguard fully bonded to the tyre. The 16-inch front wheel with 130 tyre between wide seat posts and the original Sportster Forty Eightfuel tank complete the overall line of this Harley Bobber.

Drag bar handlebars, a small spoiler keel, a Sportster bobber seat, LED indicators, front mudguards, exhaust pipes and air filter are some of the other components that make up the final look of the Sportster Bobber “GOLDBLACK”.
The paintwork is very elegant and simple… all gloss black with a few small gold details such as the graphics on the fuel tank and the pintriping on the mudguards or the headlight rim. Many of the parts have been painted in gloss black but using powdercoating at Metalcolors.
HOMOLOGATION
The end result is a very stylish and attractive Harley Davidson Bobber, which, with the wide rear wheel exposed and the silhouette of a modified Sportster Forty Eight, will leave no one unseen as it passes through the streets.
Finally our homologation department at Lord Drake Kustoms has been in charge of homologating the modifications made on a bobber bike for Spanish territory like this Sportster Bobber “GOLDBLACK”.
On this occasion, we present the Sportster Bobber Black Cream, a Harley Davidson customised with the unmistakable style of Lord Drake Kustoms. This project, developed in the workshop in Malaga, Spain, represents more than 10 years of experience transforming motorbikes into true works of art.
Based on a Sportster 883 R
Fran Manen, founder of Lord Drake Kustoms, was given a fuel injected 2007 Harley Davidson Sportster 883 R along with a general customisation idea that evolved as the work progressed. From the start, there was a clear goal: to fit a 200mm rear wheel combined with thick spoke rims, ideal for Harley motorbikes.
The Sportster Bobber Black Cream features a classic bobber design that incorporates unique details. A ‘hangman’ style handlebar was installed which, along with a Sportster Forty Eight tank and 21-inch front wheel, gives this Harley an unmistakable vintage feel.
Although the two-seater was retained, the rear wing was shortened to accentuate the bobber character, with the addition of 10.5-inch Burly shocks and a handmade side-arm number plate holder from the Lord Drake Kustoms team.
Other details include a relocated side-mounted odometer, LED turn signals under the button panels, Biltwell grips, spoiler, and a Sportster-specific air filter. Custom exhausts, wrapped in anti-heat tape, complete the functional and attractive design.
Handlebars hangman
Every element of the Sportster Bobber Black Cream was selected and fine-tuned. Major modifications include:
Cut-out front mudguard, which reinforces the minimalist character.
Installation of a 200 mm rear wheel and thick-spoke rims.
A handcrafted number plate holder, designed specifically for Harley Davidson.
10.5’ Burly shocks for a lower profile.
Handlebars with a retro and daring touch.
These improvements not only transform the appearance, but also optimise the driving experience.
The finish of the Sportster Bobber Black Cream is a true work of art. The paintwork combines a gloss black with a cream tone that is separated by delicate gold pinstripes.
The tank features classic Harley Davidson lettering and graphics, creating a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. This colour scheme not only stands out for its elegance, but also reinforces the unique identity of this custom bike.
A Unique Bobber Style Transformation
If you’re looking for a Harley Davidson that combines classic bobber styling with unique details, the Sportster Bobber Black Cream is the perfect example of the art of customisation.
