Fran Manen, explains in this first episode dedicated to the best custom bikes awards by Lord Drake Kustoms how he started in the world of motorcycle customization and what were the first Bike Show where he participated, getting his first awards.
From its beginnings in Spain for various motorcycle festivals to its establishment in the United States where it had its first motorcycle workshop in Miami. Here is a transcription of the interview’s video.
What is a Bike Show
In the world of motorcycle transformation or customization, there are some competitions where the best custom bikes are chosen, or the best motorcycle customization and transformation works, with different categories, different brands and at different levels, from local to global levels.
There are competitions where a selection of judges, who are usually other builders or media journalists specialized in the world of motorcycle transformation, usually determine which work or which motorcycle is more spectacular, or is more beautiful, which has the best painting. And all these types of competitions are usually held at events related to the world of motorcycles.
The first thing I did, as soon as I finished it, was to take it to a Bike Show, because it was something very curious. I was new to this world, I did not dedicate myself professionally to it, but I heard that that same year, one or two months after in Fuengirola, the European Harley-Davidson Rally was going to be held for the first time in Spain.
It means that it is the largest and most official Harley Davidson rally in Europe. And there, in that event, a Custom Bike Show was held where Harley-Davidson chooses the best modified and transformed Harley in Europe.
Then, immediately I registered my motorcycle, and well … I arrived and honestly I was in paradise. But I was in paradise, not because of my motorcycle, but because I was with my camera taking photos of everything I saw enter there.
What was my surprise: it was the first motorcycle I did, it was the first time I competed in a Bike Show, and when they went to deliver the prizes, they say that Europe’s second position in the Harley-Davidson Softail category is Fran Manen. Well imagine … I hallucinated. I mean, I figured this is the beginner’s luck.
From there, with that same bike I dedicated myself to go to others local or national events where the most I got to achieve was the official Spanish Harley-Davidson Rally or Bike Show, where I stayed Champion of the Bike Show of the Softail category and also, I awarded a first prize “Best of Show”, the best of the entire contest.
Bike Shows in Miami
In 2010 – 2011 when I started to make motorcycles fully in my Miami workshop, I already made the first motorcycle with which I believed I could participate in a Bike Show and also, in the United States, in America, where the cradle of this type of events and where the most prestigious Bike Shows in the world are.
The first bike I ever made and brought there was a Harley-Davidson Softail Heritage, and I took it to the Poker Run Custom Bike Show, held in the Florida Keys, at the Key West, and the same thing happened.
I put it in the trailer, the whole family went, some friends and I took it back … it was the second time that I competed in an event of such prestige, and I won the prize for the best Softail, in Miami, Florida, in an event like is the Keys Poker Run.
So, I started participating in various American Riders Bike Shows, in Florida and in the United States because at that time I was working and I only had my workshop in the United States.
In this first episode of LDK TV we talk about one of the most demanded custom motorcycles lately, it is the BMW R100 Cafe Racer / Scrambler.
Lord Drake Kustoms made this BMW in his motorcycle transformation workshop in Malaga (Spain). Fran Manen tells us details about this BMW R100, based on a model from the 80s. Finally, he got a bike with mixed Cafe Race and Scrambler styles.

The m-Lock, which is what this motorcycle keyless start system is called, manufactured by the prestigious German brand Motogadget; It is a contactless digital key with RFID technology and that replaces the contact keys.
The m-Lock allows you to remove the mechanical
lock on your motorcycle and turn it into a motorcycle of the future. It also
does not require a battery for the key, so it is always operational.
The hidden mounting of the m-Lock is usually
done behind non-metallic parts, for example a plastic side panel, which allows
the mechanical lock to be completely removed.
In motorcycle customization work, innovative
elements are usually sought and that give the motorcycle more cleanliness, so
this KEYLESS device for motorcycles guarantees a clean appearance and
various design possibilities, making it ideal for transformed or customized
motorcycles.
You can use the basic key or a micro key (optional) that can be hidden in any non-metallic place and that performs the same opening / closing function.
Installing the m-Lock keyless start system in your motorcycle
At Lord Drake Kustoms we sell the Motogadget m-lock at a price of 130 euros including transportation to the entire spanish peninsula. And if you prefer, you can come by our custom workshop in Malaga and we can install it for you (labor is not included in the price and you can consult us to give you a budget for the assembly that may vary depending on the motorcycle model in which you have than install it)

Diag4bike is currently the software used by the vast majority of official Harley Davidson dealers and many specialized workshops on motorcycle performance improvement and diagnosis.
Now you can remap your Harley and improve its performance without the need to change or install specific cartridges or ECUs as it was until a few years ago.
Why shoud I use a remapping and diagnosis system like Diag4bike?
Remapping is highly recommended especially when exchanging exhausts and air filters. Not only to improve performance, but also to avoid future problems on the motorcycle caused by a bad adjustment of the injection system: for example, lack of gasoline or excess of it.
In addition, you can lower the revs of your injection Harley so that it has that characteristic touch very similar to the carburetor models. You can also erase or find errors by highlighting some of the many functions that Diag4-bike has.
