A customer looking for a Harley Davidson workshop
Steven, the owner of this custom motorcycle, was looking for a specialized Harley Davidson workshop near Almuñecar (Spain), which is the city where he currently resides.
But the only thing he found in the area were the typical motorcycle workshop of all time and none of them specialized in Harley Davidson.
Finally, he decided to broaden his search and found a workshop specialized in motorcycle transformation in Malaga, our workshop, the workshop of Lord Drake Kustoms. Steven called us and came to introduce us his motorcycle, in this case a Harley Davidson Sportster Forty Eight.
At first, the owner of this Harley Sportster, doubted to turn this motorcycle into a Cafe Racer or a Bobber style. Finally he decided to transform his Harley into a motorcycle more Custom or Bobber.
The customization process of the Sportster 48
One of its conditions was that the rear should stand out for the presence of a wide tire. A wide wheel for the Sportster, which could be 240 or 200.
Finally, a 200 wheel was chosen not to be too exaggerated. Another request was that he didn’t want any kind of graphics or airbrushing on the motorcycle: “I wanted everything black, except the Harley gas tank that has to be in pure metal.”
Tailor-made Harley exhaust pipes painted with ceramic coat, handmade fenders, Rough Crafts air filter, led headlight, custom fuel tank, and many other details; They shaped this personalized Sportster with Old School style.
As for the finishes, Lord Drake Kustoms has a manufacturing and upholstery service for custom motorcycle seats, which has given a different and unique look to the spring seat for Sportster that has been installed.
In addition, a work of powder painting carried out by Metalcolors.
With our Homologation and ITV motorcycle service, all the reforms made on this were legalized: motorcycle transformed with Bobber style.
