[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It is the Yin and Yang of our bikes. A sweet and calm machine … but at the same time strong and powerful … But in addition to its reference to the famous sexual position, our Sixty Nine is also a tribute to those classic Harley-Davidson of 69.
Discover all its secrets in the following report that Biker Zone made in its number 258. And if you want to see more photos, do not forget to stop by the Sixty-Nine page in Lord Drake Kustoms.
SIXTY-NINE
The “69”, the truth is that I do not know if this name has it for the year of manufacture or because it refers to the acrobatic amatory posture … perhaps for both reasons.

I choose the second option because it is a motorcycle that as I was working on it seemed more daring, more sexy and perhaps even something rampant and radical Yes, but with elegance!
The year also counts because it does not stop being a reference to the old school of that time but adapted to the moment and tastes of the market now.
“THE ESCAPE IS ALSO A WORK OF LORD DRAKE KUSTOMS, AS WELL AS BOTH GUARDABARROS AND THE COMPULSORY PORTAMATRICLE”
What I did know was that I wanted something that was striking and at the same time simple and elegant. That’s why I combined the luminosity of the white with the classicism of black, with a golden touch aged between the two, but not abused because I did not want to make a vulgar motorcycle or “kani”.
With very casual style and for all audiences (for bikers and non-bikers, for young and younger), something to shoot for any promenade in the purest Californian style, and that people look at you when you pass, with a powerful sound and lively. Of course, the somewhat radical position that encourages you to punch the entrance of a highway! It’s simply “69”. Sometimes it relaxes you, and sometimes it puts you at a hundred. Regarding the changes, the belt has been replaced by a chain kit devised by LDK, something more appropriate to the new style.
“THIS MOTORBIKE HAS BEEN SECOND IN THE” SPORTSTER “CATEGORY OF THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON EUROPEAN BIKE SHOW” EUROFESTIVAL “
The height of the rear suspension has also been reduced by two inches as well as the front one modified. The escape is also a job of Lord Drake Kustoms, as well as both mudguards and the mandatory license plate, also replacing numerous parts such as handlebars, turn signals, cams, grips, footrests, spark plug wires, mirrors …
This bike has been in second place in the “Sportster” category of the Harley-Davidson European Bike Show “Eurofestival” held in May 2014 in Saint Tropez (France). It is the first of a series, of which several units have already been made; so if you are interested, contact us to make an equal or also for those who already have their motorcycle, we can do something similar or similar in a few interesting ranges of prices … you just have to call us and share your ideas and likes that we will try to adapt to your budget.
