YAMAHA VMAX NEORACER

YAMAHA VMAX NEORACER

YAMAHA VMAX NEORACER

This YAMAHA VMAX NEORACER is a new v4 beast created by Lord Drake Kustoms in his workshop of transformations of café racer motorcycles in Spain that has left everyone surprised, because it is a totally different work to what we usually do in our custom workshops.

With more than 30 years behind it, this fully customized Yamaha V Max 1200 has resurfaced with a new look thanks to the work of Fran Manen and his team at Lord Drake Kustoms with facilities in Malaga (Spain).

A BEAST V4

Despite being a historic bike, it has never ceased to be a V4 acceleration beast and when it came into the hands of the LDK team it presented a fairly acceptable mechanical condition, but its owner wanted to give it a new life, a more modern look and that’s where Fran Manen decided that in this project in addition to changing the aesthetic appearance, could improve some of the performance of the bike such as suspensions and brakes. At the time of making this bike transformed, the style was not very clear and as they say in Lord Drake Kustoms; it is neither a cafe racer bike or a sport bike, or a scrambler bike … is a Yamaha transformed Neoracer style as they usually define this type of customization of motorcycles that have a mixture of customization styles and a modern and more naked look.

MODIFICATIONS

The first thing that has been done with this custom Yamaha, which has been called “YAMAHA VMAX NEORACER” has been to disassemble it completely, then the first thing that was done was to install in the front a new inverted fork with two brake calipers and a new rim with improved brake disc, which has improved the braking of this beast without any doubt, not to mention the new aesthetics that has been achieved to the front of this custom bike.

Next, a tracker type handlebar and an LED headlight, somewhat different from those usually seen on current modified motorcycles, were installed. As final details at the front, a metal face shield and a minimalist front fender were installed; both handcrafted by LDK.

In the rear has been carried out a great job. It has been cut the entire subframe and has been handcrafted a spectacular tail with integrated seat that is also removable thanks to the original opening systems that has this bike to access the fuel tank.

Odometer detail

Finally, new Ohlins shock absorbers, a handcrafted license plate holder made by LDK, LED turn signals, new modified exhaust tails and the Motogadget digital odometer are just some of the details.

MATT GRAPHITE GREY

As for the finishes, the bike had to be simple and not have a very flashy paint job, as it had to highlight the muscles and lines of this powerful Yamaha VMax Neoracer by itself. For that reason, the entire bike has been painted in matte graphite gray and black and the seat has been upholstered in imitation alcantara.

A HISTORIC MOTORCYCLE

The result speaks for itself … a historic bike, which has gone from being a V4 beast with an old and perhaps somewhat outdated look, to be a new YAMAHA VMAX NEORACER 1200 with the air of a naked bike, cafe racer and above all a beastly bike.

GEICO SCRAMBLER

GEICO SCRAMBLER

GEICO SCRAMBLER

GEICO SCRAMBLER: You either love it or hate it! But it won’t leave you indifferent; that’s the spectacular work of the Spanish customizer Fran Manen and his company Lord Drake Kustoms. The GEICO SCRAMBLER is the result of taking to the highest level the new line of scrambler motorcycles based on Harley Davidson Sportster for two people that the Spanish motorcycle builder Francisco Ali Manen (owner of Lord Drake Kustoms) has recently created and that are known as the “DRAKER 2”
This “DRAKER 2” is a scrambler motorcycle that, in addition to being able to be used to ride on dirt tracks and roads full of curves in the mountains; it could also be used on the highway, the streets of a big city… and why not? to ride along the beaches of California due to its casual, urban and fresh look.
The GEICO SCRAMBLER was built in Lord Drake Kustoms’ Harley and custom bike conversion workshop in Malaga (Spain) using a carbureted Harley Davidson Sportster 883.

BASED ON A HARLEY 883

Fran Manen received this order from Igor, a client from Holland who, after following LDK’s motorcycle customization work for a long time, finally decided to put himself in Fran’s hands to make his dream on two wheels come true. Igor, accompanied by his wife Dorina, visited Lord Drake Kustoms’ facilities in Malaga and after the first visit everything became very clear and the project began to flow. Igor was in no hurry, as his priority in this project was to have one of the best Harley Scramblers for two people that Fran Manen could design following a series of instructions; and the result has been this DRAKER 2 called “GEICO SCRAMBLER” … and it goes without saying that it speaks for itself.

Throughout this process, Fran has had practically total freedom to customize this Harley 883 scrambler; although always respecting the range of colours and graphics that his client and now friend Igor indicated to him.

MODIFICATIONS

On a technical level, it should be noted that this Harley Davidson scrambler is one of the first units of a new production line of sportster scrambler motorcycles that Lord Drake Kustoms has created under the name of “DRAKER 2” (because these models have been created for two seats) in which a new rear has been used consisting of a seat base subframe and mudguards all incorporated in a single piece and built in metal.

Handlebars and tank

In this Sportster scrambler we can highlight components such as Ohlins shock absorbers, custom rims, brake discs, exhaust pipes, front mudguards and an endless number of details that will not leave anyone indifferent.

THE FOUR ELEMENTS

The paint job of this Harley scrambler is quite striking, combining metallic turquoise, cream, gold and red with graphics such as the elements earth, sea, air and fire. In addition, the owners’ names have been placed on the tank along with a gold GEICO that gives its name to this custom scrambler-style motorcycle

READY TO ORDER

This series of motorcycles that are already being produced and are called “DRAKER 2” can now be ordered from the motorcycle customization company Lord Drake Kustoms, who once finished, will be responsible for sending them anywhere in the world… You just have to choose your colors, finishes or even the theme as is the case with this “GEICO SCRAMBLER” and they will take care of building it and sending it to your home, wherever you are and anywhere in the world.

BMW K1 RACER 1.2

Introducing the second unit of the K1 RACER series… The BMW K1 RACER 1.2, a custom bike with a very sporty look that breaks away from the styles used to transform motorbikes such as the BMW K100. This project has been carried out at Lord Drake Kustoms, a customisation and transformation workshop for BMW motorbikes in Spain (Malaga).

ELEGANT AND AGGRESSIVE

Francisco Alí Manen (owner of LDK), was commissioned by a customer who had already seen the first BMW K1 RACER, a NEORACER style transformation as defined by Fran himself.

This customisation work on a BMW motorbike is one of the most impressive that has been done on a k100 model to date in LDK’s motorbike modification workshop.

Transformed from start to finish, it is not the usual modified BMW K100, it is an elegant, aggressive and above all unique custom bike.

Ask for a budget without commitment

MODIFICATIONS

Following in the footsteps of the first unit of this series of custom bikes, Fran and his team at Lord Drake Kustoms the first thing they did as soon as they arrived at their custom bike workshop was to completely dismantle it.

The work on the BMW K1 RACER 1.2 started with the installation of an upside-down fork, the rims were kept as original, then came the tyres, discs and brake calipers. Of course it had to be fitted with half handlebars and then we proceeded to remove the entire subframe and cut and modify part of the chassis to begin to shape what would be the new rear of this spectacular BMW K100 transformed.

The fuel tank has also been kept original. A new rear shock absorber with WP air bottle has been installed, a new subframe has been manufactured and a new rear pillion including seat with custom upholstery has been installed.

All this work has been accompanied by a Motogadget Pro digital odometer and set back foot controls for BMW K100.

The modified exhaust, the whole central exhaust manifold handcrafted with a stainless steel tailpipe gives a brutal sound to the BMW K1 RACER 1.2.

In addition, and like its predecessor, it is fitted with a V-Rod headlight, Motogadget front turn signals and 3:1 rear turn signals and other details in all the endless modifications that this custom bike created by Lord Drake Kustoms with a BMW K100 base has.

VROD 260 ARMY

VROD 260 ARMY

“Elegant and aggressive” are the two best words to describe the “VROD 260 ARMY”, a bike customised by Lord Drake Kustoms in his custom bike and Harley Davidson workshop in Malaga (Spain).

BASED ON A NIGHTROD SPECIAL

This time the owner of this Harley Davidson Nightrod Special, is a regular customer of Francisco Alí Manen (owner of LDK); who this time went from having ordered a BMW R65 bobber scrambler previously; to ask for this custom Harley marvel.

The idea is that this custom bike, as well as being spectacular, should not be too uncomfortable to ride as happens with these models when they are fitted with a wide rear wheel kit of 300 or more for VROD, Nightrod or Muscle models… so it was decided to fit a wide rear wheel of 260 and no more… hence the name “VROD 260 ARMY”.

MODIFICATIONS

Airbox, rear mudguard, front mudguard, handlebars, turrets, odometer relocation, number plate bracket, LED indicators and lights, seats, horn covers, spoke covers, exhaust tailpipes, are some of the parts of this custom bike that have been modified or manufactured for this Harley Davidson.

MILITARY STYLE

As for the colours chosen for the paintwork of this transformed VROD, they have been chosen by its owner, who had them very clear from the beginning and so he let Fran Manen know, who together with his work team at Lord Drake Kustoms thought it was a good choice of colour for its military aspect and not very seen in the works of Vrod transformations with wide wheel kit, which are usually mostly black.

On the airbox of this vrod, “HARLEY DAVIDSON” is simply airbrushed in military style lettering and a few small red details (such as the thread on the seat upholstery) have been included to make the whole thing stand out.

Painting detail

WORLDWIDE SHIPPING

Surely, this “VROD 260 ARMY” will not leave indifferent the people who see it passing through the streets and roads of Galicia, where it will have its new home after being sent by Lord Drake Kustoms with its service of shipping and transport of motorbikes all over the world.

BMW R100 GRAY BROWN

This bobber scrambler style bike is called BMW R100 “GRAY BROWN” and is another of the customizations of BMW motorbikes that Lord Drake Kustoms has made in his workshop in Malaga (Spain).

A STYLISH SCRAMBLER BOBBER

The team at LDK have once again excelled in their work with classic BMW motorbikes, and with this R100, they have once again transformed a BMW into a stunning and elegant scrambler bobber.

This time Francisco Alí Manen, owner of LDK, has chosen to make a BMW transformed with very common elements in this kind of motorbike customizations, but the result has been brutal thanks to the combination of elements and colours used.

MODIFICATIONS

The motogadget odometer, together with the branded LED indicators on the ends of the Biltwell grips, give the bike a contemporary feel and the Continetal TKC 80 tyres give it that scrambler look.

SPORTSTER S 1250 RH

This is another unit of the new Harley Davidson Sportster S 1250 RH customized by the team of Francisco Ali Manen, owner of Lord Drake Kustoms in his Harley conversion workshop in Malaga (Spain) from where they export custom motorcycles to customers all over the world.

A NEW AIR

Coming from a customer near Lisbon, Portugal, where LDK picked up the bike with its own pick-up and delivery service, this Sportster S arrived totally original and its owner wanted to give it a new look and restyle it to get more out of the features of this Harley Davidson..
Ask for a budget without commitment

MODIFICATIONS

The first idea was to modify the rear, especially the license plate bracket, and to put some kind of screen or dome on it. Fran Manen got to work with his team and the result was a restyling in this Sportster S 1250 RH which has been fitted with a café racer bike screen, a new tracker handlebar, new minimalist LED turn signals and a round LED headlight.

OTHER FEATURES

In terms of performance (in addition to aesthetic changes) it should be noted that in this custom bike, the Lord Drake Kustoms team has installed a spectacular complete 2:1 exhaust system from the brand Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde homologated, for the Harley Davidson Sportster S 1250 RH, which in addition to sound regulation has a beautiful carbon fiber manifold protector.
