Making a cafe racer with a Triumphis probably one of the motorcycle transformation jobs in Spain that had the least demand until a few years ago; But it is true that the custom motorcycle market is changing and that the new Triumph motorcycle models are making the English brand one of the most demanded brands when it comes to look for a cafe racer motorcycle.
Lord Drake Kustoms, since his beginnings in his custom workshop in Miami, has bet heavily on the modification and transformation of Triumph motorcycles, even in his cafe racer workshop in Spain (which is where he had the least demand for custom Triumph motorcycles)
In particular Francisco Ali Manen (owner of LDK) is passionate about Triumph Bonneville, Thruxton and Scrambler; and this has been the main reason why our company has always defended that making a cafe racer with a Triumph is one of the best choices when it comes to customize a motorcycle.
We have carried out customization work for Triumph cafe racer motorcycles with the Bonneville and Scrambler models mainly. And in the last two years we have noticed how our customers in Spain have increasingly asked us for a Triumph cafe racer.
Our motorcycle transformation workshop in Malaga is specialized in the modification and customization of Triumph motorcycles; and there are many cafe racer, scrambler or brat models that we have transformed for clients in Spain.
When it comes to making a cafe racer-style Triumph, our favorite model is the Bonneville T100 or the T120. Since this motorcycle base to customize or transform, is perfect for building a full-fledged cafe racer, since its geometry and chassis have the necessary characteristics to make a good modification and become a true cafe racer motorcycle.
Specifically, the custom Triumph Bonneville T100 carbureted bikes (along with the Harley Davidson Sportster) are our preferred models when choosing a fun and versatile bike to customize, regardless of whether it is cafe racer, scrambler or brat style.
For example, when our clients have doubts or ask us if we would choose a BMW cafe racer or a Triumph, our answer is resounding: a cafe racer style Triumph … by age, performance, versatility and price.
