DUCATI S4R NEORACER

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.

Ask for a budget without commitment

MODIFICATIONS

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.

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.

GRAPHITE GRAY

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

SPORTSTER BOBBER GOLDBLACK

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 1200 customised at the Lord Drake Kustoms motorbike workshop in Spain.

Ask for a budget without commitment

MODIFICATIONS

Highlights include the 200 Sportster rear wheel fitted and the Harley bobber mudguard fully bonded to the tyre. The 16-inch front wheel with 130 tyre between wide seat posts and the original Sportster Forty Eight fuel 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”.

GLOSS BLACK AND GOLD

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”.

Triumph 120 Brat

Triumph 120 Brat

TRIUMPH 120 BRAT

The Triumph Bonneville 1200 is a favorite base for retro-style transformations, and this time the team at Lord Drake Kustoms has created a spectacular Triumph 120 Brat, a motorcycle that combines classic British aesthetics with the urban and minimalist character of the brat style. The result is an elegant, compact machine with a strong visual personality.

Classic style with an urban attitude

In this project, the goal was to transform the original Bonneville into a lower, cleaner motorcycle with a continuous visual line from the tank to the rear. To achieve this, unnecessary elements were removed and several components were redesigned, resulting in a sportier and more minimalist silhouette while maintaining the classic DNA that characterizes Triumph Motorcycles.

Ask for a budget without commitment

MODIFICATIONS

The transformation focuses primarily on the rear of the motorcycle. A new, modified subframe has been installed, adapted to mount a completely straight brat-style seat that extends the line of the tank and provides a much cleaner, more horizontal aesthetic.

The seat has been hand-upholstered with diamond-pattern stitching, adding a handcrafted and elegant touch. Wider profile tires with a mixed tread pattern have also been fitted, reinforcing the motorcycle’s robust appearance.

Integrated turn signals

In addition, minimalist turn signals, a more compact lighting system, and satin black details have been added to enhance the dark and modern character of the whole.

The exhaust system has been redesigned with black headers and mufflers, giving it a more aggressive look that’s consistent with the brat style. The riding position remains comfortable thanks to a clean, minimalist handlebar and brown grips that perfectly complement the seat.

Ask for a budget without commitment

Metallic Orange

One of the most striking elements of this Triumph 120 Brat is its spectacular tank painted in an intense metallic orange color, a warm tone that contrasts perfectly with the rest of the components in black.

The glossy finish of the tank highlights the classic lines of the Bonneville, while the side panels and other parts maintain a more understated look. The classic Triumph logo has been retained to reinforce the bike’s vintage identity, creating a perfect balance between tradition and personalization.

The brown leather details on the seat and grips add a warm, handcrafted touch that perfectly complements the color of the tank, resulting in a motorcycle with a carefully crafted and coherent aesthetic in all its elements.

Painting detail

A brat with her own personality

With this Triumph 120 Brat, Lord Drake Kustoms once again demonstrates its ability to transform iconic motorcycles into unique pieces. The result is a motorcycle that respects the essence of the original Bonneville, but with a more aggressive, modern, and urban aesthetic.

A perfect build for those looking for a classic motorcycle, but with a strong custom personality and a style that doesn’t go unnoticed on the road.

SPORTSTER BOBBER BLACK CREAM

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.

Ask for a budget without commitment

Modifications

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.

BLACK AND CREAM

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.

BMW R18 BOBBER BROWN

BMW R18 BOBBER BROWN

BMW R18 BOBBER BROWN

The “BOBBER BROWN” is the new BMW R18 customised by Lord Drake Kustoms in his workshop in Velez Malaga (Spain).

Francisco Alí Manén, owner of LDK, received this BMW R18 from its owner and directly from the BMW dealer.

A BOBBER WITH A BOXER ENGINE

The idea was for it to be a fully modified Bobber style bike, but with one condition… it had to keep the original black colour with white lines… and chrome components.

Called “BOBBER BROWN”, this BMW R18 is quite a beast (aesthetically speaking) as, except for the original fuel tank, components have been touched on almost every part of the bike to turn it into a bobber with a boxer engine.

Ask for a budget without commitment

MODIFICATIONS

The rear, consisting of a mudguard attached to the wheel with metal tube side supports, a side-arm number plate holder made by LDK that locates the plate just behind the wheel and minimalist 3-in-1 lights with built-in Kellerman indicators.

The brown diamond-finish single seat, which gives the bike its name, and the seat mount for BMW R18 are also handcrafted at Lord Drake Kustoms.

SPORTSTER ARMY 48

On a Harley Davidson XL 1200 Forty Eight base, this bobber motorcycle called “SPORTSTER ARMY 48” has been created and modified by the Lord Drake Kustoms team in their motorcycle customization workshop in Spain.

A MILITARY HARLEY

The owner of LDK, Francisco Alí Manén, wanted to modify this Sportster Forty Eight keeping its essence and giving it a touch more retro and inspired by the old military Harleys… The result is a current version of what could be a Harley Army bobber style in these times.

Ask for a budget without commitment

MODIFICATIONS

In keeping with the spirit of the Sportster 48, the original wheels and fuel tank have been retained. The rest of this custom bike has been modified and transformed to a lesser or greater extent until this “SPORTSTER ARMY 48” became the bobber bike it is today.

MILITARY GREEN

For the finish Fran Manen, decided that the bodywork should be painted in matte military green; which has been accompanied by a combination of gloss black and matte black in the rest of the parts and components of the bike and a brown leather seat with diamonds. Elements such as the impressive exhaust with grenade-like tailpipes, the chrome engine covers or the classic Harley Davidson emblems on the fuel tank have given this Sportster Bobber a brutal look.

HOMOLOGATION

The “SPORTSTER ARMY 48” has been fully homologated for Spanish territory (except for the exhaust and air filter) before being delivered to its owner who now enjoys this elegant two-wheeled military steamroller customized by the Lord Drake Kustoms team.

BMW R45 ARMY SCRAMBLER

The BMW R45 ARMY scrambler, is one of the works of customization and modification of a BMW that we have done in our cafe racer and scrambler workshop in Spain and that without being a work of high-level motorbike transformation, has given spectacular results.

AN UPGRADED MOTORBIKE

Fran Manen (owner of Lord Drake Kustoms) received this bike from a customer from Alicante, who initially wanted to do something very very basic, but little by little the level was raised and in the end this classic BMW R45 has become a beautiful scrambler motorcycle scrambler bike, part of it due to the elegant colour combination that combines black with glossy military green and brown seat.

Ask for a budget without commitment

MODIFICATIONS

The first thing that was done was to dismantle the whole bike to get it ready, sandblast the parts and then paint them with electrostatic powder coating. The front suspension was then modified and the two-seater scrambler subframe for BMW R was produced. A Biltwell tracker handlebar and Harley Davidson shock absorbers formed the frame of this BMW R scrambler.

Seat detail

Handcrafted seat

For the BMW R45 army scrambler, the seat base was made and then upholstered in brown leatherette with rhombuses and a handmade number plate holder.

Odometer detail

Motogadget Mini Odometer

The front mudguard has also been shortened and shorter BMW R exhaust tailpipes have been fitted along with the typical black heat tape on the tailpipes.

LED turn signals, motogadget mini digital odometer, biltwell grips, mirrors and other details such as the ignition key on the side or the air handles, have completed the customisation work on a scrambler bike that used to be a modest low-displacement BMW and now looks like one of its big sisters the BMW R100 or R80 scrambler.

Ask for a budget without commitment

MILITARY GREEN

The paintwork is all black except for the fuel tank, which was originally intended to be matt military green as is usual on military vehicles, but in the end it was decided to leave the finish glossy, which has given it a touch of superior elegance.
