SPORTSTER ARMY 48

SPORTSTER ARMY 48

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.

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.

Black 10.5-inch burly rear shocks, single-seat conversion, Rough Craft air cleaner, fender cutouts, front suspension modification, LED lighting and many other details have been shaping this bobber bike.

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.

YAMAHA XVS DRAG STAR BOBBER

YAMAHA XVS DRAG STAR BOBBER

This Yamaha XVS Drag Star Bobber is one of the most recent works of customization of bobber style motorcycles that Lord Drake Kustoms has done in his workshop of motorcycle transformations in Spain, on a custom motorcycle base that is not of the Harley Davidson brand.

A TRANSFORMED JAPANESE

“Japanese also have the right to be transformed… I mean motorcycles!”. That was one of the phrases of Francisco Alí Manén (owner of LDK) when he saw the result of this customization work done on the base of a Yamaha Drag Star XVS 650.

Many people think that to have a nice bobber or custom bike you have to make them on a Harley base; but we forget about some models of Japanese custom bikes that have a softail type chassis very similar to the “big twin” family of the American brand and that if they work well can result in spectacular custom bikes at much more economical prices.

MODIFICATIONS

On this “Yamaha XVS Drag Star Bobber” the process has been the same as on other bobber bikes they have customized at Lord Drake Kustoms… Disassembly of the entire rear and front, fabrication of rear fender and bobber seat for Yamaha, along with matching license plate bracket and front fender.

SUZUKI VL800 BOBBER

This SUZUKI VL800 BOBBER has been a work of transformation of motorcycle in bobber style made in our cafe racer customizations workshop in Malaga (Spain).

In the Lord Drake Kustoms team, we are never closed to work with custom bikes of different brands and models; and in this case it was a very special bike and difficult to find in these times, a SUZUKI VL800.

A NEW LIFE

The owner of this classic SUZUKI, was a customer from Cordoba who already followed the work of Fran Manen (owner of LDK) and his team for quite some time and left in the hands of Lord Drake Kustoms this bike that had been standing for several years and who wanted to give it a new life.

Francisco Alí Manén chose to make a bobber style transformation with it, because for this type of chassis is one of the styles of motorcycle customization that give better results in terms of aesthetics and comfort.

MODIFICATIONS

First, the whole bike was disassembled and mechanically overhauled, because after so many years of being stopped, several components had deteriorated. Subsequently we started with the rear of this SUZUKI VL800 BOBBER where a bobber style rear fender was fabricated, the shocks were changed for lower ones and a handmade license plate holder was installed.

At the front, the handlebars were replaced, the front suspension was modified and the front fender was shortened. All this was completed with a bobber seat without springs and other details such as exhaust with heat tape and custom tails, lighting, rubber fork bellows, digital odometer motogadget mini, etc., etc..

BLACK AND YELLOW

The final touch was a gloss black paint with lines and graphics in yellow, where we must highlight the medical logo or the number 88 that have a great meaning for its owner that he is a doctor.

HOMOLOGATION

As a final result we have this SUZUKI VL800 BOBBER that has been homologated for Spanish territory after its customization at Lord Drake Kustoms, and that currently rolls through the streets of Cordoba from the hands of its owner.
