BMW R SPRINGER “CHROME”

Lord Drake Kustoms presents the BMW R Springer “Chrome”—a spectacular custom BMW R90 transformed into an exclusive, vintage-style bobber. It features a 1,000 cc engine, a Springer front fork, chrome finishes, and numerous handcrafted components. This is a limited edition, with the first unit now available for purchase and worldwide shipping.

Francisco Manen and his brand, Lord Drake Kustoms, once again surprise us with one of their most exclusive creations: the new BMW R Springer “Chrome”—a motorcycle that blends classic BMW engineering with the boldest aesthetic of the custom world, all brought to life through extraordinary craftsmanship.

This new creation is based on a classic BMW R90 and represents an evolution of the concept that gave rise to the well-known BMW “Survivor”—another of the most unique custom builds by this Spanish builder.

The new Chrome takes that philosophy a step further, incorporating significant technical improvements, an even more refined design, and a striking combination of chrome, handcrafted leather, and aged brass.

But there is something that makes this launch especially interesting: the BMW R Springer Chrome will be a limited edition, and the first unit is already finished, available for purchase, and ready to be shipped anywhere in the world.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE BMW SURVIVOR

The BMW Survivor established a very distinct design direction for Lord Drake Kustoms, reinterpreting classic German boxer-engine motorcycles through an aesthetic that blends vintage, bobber, and old-school elements.

The new BMW R Springer Chrome embraces that heritage and builds upon it through more advanced construction, particularly in two key areas: braking and suspension.

One of the most significant changes is the addition of a dual front disc brake system, designed to provide superior braking performance compared to the previous configuration.

Added to this is an improved suspension system, featuring specific components and solutions developed for this motorcycle.

The starting point for this transformation is a BMW R90, whose signature boxer engine has been modified to increase its original displacement from 900 to 1,000 cubic centimeters.

This modification preserves the mechanical character of classic BMWs, while incorporating an evolution that complements the rest of the build.

The result is a classic BMW transformed into an exclusive custom motorcycle, combining the character of vintage bikes with technical and aesthetic solutions developed specifically for this project.

A CUSTOM-BUILT BMW BOBBER

One of the most notable aspects of the BMW R Springer Chrome is the vast number of components developed and manufactured specifically by Lord Drake Kustoms.

The team built a completely custom subframe, designed to suit the motorcycle’s new proportions and accommodate a rear setup that differs significantly from the original.

A fully bespoke rear suspension system—including the shock absorbers—was also fabricated, representing one of the most complex tasks in this transformation.

The single seat, its leaf-spring support, and the upholstery have been handcrafted, aiming for a combination of classic aesthetics, functionality, and exclusivity.

The rear fender has also been custom-made for this BMW, following the minimalist lines that characterize bobber-style motorcycles.

At the front end, a spectacular custom Springer fork stands out—one of the elements that lends the most character to this creation.

This type of fork, inspired by classic motorcycles, provides a very distinctive aesthetic and reinforces the vintage, “old school” character of the BMW R Springer Chrome.

The front braking system has also required significant engineering and manufacturing work.

In addition to incorporating dual brake discs, a specific configuration has been developed that places the brake master cylinder beneath the fuel tank—a solution that helps maintain a particularly clean aesthetic on the handlebars.

The installation of inverted brake and clutch levers further enhances that minimalist, classic look.

Added to all this are a custom fuel tank, new lighting and turn signal systems, and numerous components manufactured or adapted specifically for this motorcycle.

Each element has been designed to form part of a coherent whole, where aesthetics and artisanal craftsmanship are given as much prominence as the mechanics themselves.

CHROME, LEATHER AND BRASS

If there is one element that visually defines this motorcycle, it is chrome.

On the BMW R Springer Chrome, virtually the entire motorcycle has been given a spectacular chrome finish—from the fuel tank and bodywork elements to numerous structural and mechanical components.

This treatment transforms the motorcycle into an especially striking creation, in which metallic surfaces and chrome reflections take center stage.

However, Lord Drake Kustoms has prevented the overall look from becoming overly uniform by introducing various contrasts.

The wheels and engine block retain dark finishes, while the emblems and certain details on the handlebar grips are crafted from aged brass.

Leather provides a warm counterpoint to the metal.

The seat, the fuel tank strap, and the airbox cover feature handcrafted upholstery in shades of brown, incorporating varied textures and decorative stitching that reinforce the vintage character of the build.

This combination of chrome, black, brass, and leather makes the “Chrome” an exceptionally striking motorcycle, without the need for colorful paint schemes or conventional graphics.

The result is a custom BMW that blends the elegance of classic motorcycles with the distinct personality of the most exclusive bobber-style builds.

A LIMITED EDITION

Just as was the case with the BMW Survivor, Lord Drake Kustoms has decided that the new BMW R Springer Chrome will be part of a limited edition.

This is neither a conventional production motorcycle nor a custom build intended for large-scale manufacturing.

Its complexity, the high number of handcrafted components, and the labor required to achieve its finishes make each unit an especially exclusive creation.

The Chrome is aimed at those looking for something more than just a restored classic motorcycle: a unique machine with a distinct personality and a design that is unlikely to go unnoticed.

Due to its combination of artisanal manufacturing, classic BMW mechanics and old school aesthetics, it can also be especially attractive to collectors and fans of high-end custom motorcycles.

Each BMW R Springer Chrome represents a very distinct take on the concept of a classic custom motorcycle, in which design and exclusivity play a fundamental role.
