SPORTSTER 48 BOBBER WHITE
Today we talk about a custom Harley Sportster, which has been called ‘Sportster Bobber White’ because of its petrol tank and which is a work that has been done in the workshop of Harley Davidson transformations in Spain that Lord Drake Kustoms has in Malaga.
A ‘FORTY-EIGHT’ BASE
The basis for this project was an early Harley Davidson Sportster Forty Eight that came with spoked rims and to which we have fitted the latest generation of XL 1200 Forty Eight models with the most up to date aluminium rims.
Fran Manen (owner of LDK) and all his team at Lord Drake Kustoms; have turned this Harley 48 into a spectacular and above all elegant bobber bike.
MODIFICATIONS
As usual on these custom bikes, the subframe has been trimmed to make it single seater, a single seat fixed to the chassis, 10.5 inch burly shocks,, Harley side arm number plate holder handmade by Lord Drake Kustoms, as well as the rear mudguard.
Drag Bar Handlebar
Single-seat
This ‘SPORTSTER BOBBER WHITE’ has also been fitted with a drag bar with Motogadget Mini odometer integrated in the turrets and LED indicators under the button panels, Biltwell grips, spoiler, etc.
The front mudguard has also been trimmed and a Rough Craft Sportster air filter has been fitted, along with Santee exhausts with anti-heat tape.
BLACK AND WHITE
And as for the painting and finishing of this custom bike… it has been all very simple: As if it were a dinner jacket … All black except the shirt of the suit that has been painted in gloss white (in this case the fuel tank) and that gives the name to this “SPORTSTER BOBBER WHITE” and a small detail of colour with red spark plug keys.
HOMOLOGATION
Finally, all the modifications that can be homologated on this bobber bike have been homologated by Lord Drake Kustoms for the Spain territory and their custom bike modifications and homologations department.
