"GOLDFINGER", a Sportster 883 Cafe Racer

This Harley Davidson Sportster 883 Cafe Racer, on a motorcycle transformed in the Harley Davidson workshop in Malaga by Lord Drake Kustoms. But it could have been the very custom motorcycle of James Bond 007; hence its name “GOLDFINGER”.

The model used to build this Cafe Racer motorcycle has been a Sportster 883 R from 2005. The first thing that has been done is to install a Cafe Racer fuel tank. This tank originally belonged to a Sportster 1200 custom, and in LDK we have modified it especially on the sides to give it the Cafe Racer look.

Transforming this Sportster Cafe Racer

Cafe Racer rear tail and spoiler Sportster is fiber and the seat is manufactured using traditional methods and has been upholstered in perforated leather to give a more racing. The exhaust has been handcrafted using the original Harley Davidson Sportster manifolds.

An air filter Roland Sand Designs for Sportster models, intermittent kellerman, Lighthouse Harley Davidson V-Rod, conversion kit chain Sportster, air springs, handlebars and many other details are what give image to this beautiful and elegant Sportster Cafe Racer.

The painting and airbrushing of motorcycles like this must be something very elegant and simple. In this case we have used a pearly white color combined with gloss black parts that have been highlighted with pinstriping gold and the airbrushing of emblems in the same color on the sides of the custom fuel tank.

For its part, Metalcolors has done a great job of painting powder coating gold and black on the rims, various engine parts, seatposts, fork, etc.

Shortly after the transformation of this Sportster Cafe Racer and after testing it on the road, its owner told Fran Manen that he was delighted with this custom motorcycle, but wanted even more speed, so they put it back in the LDK Harley Davidson workshop in Malaga to install a kit for Sportster 1200cc.
