This HD Sportster Cafe Racer, has been one of the most successful motorcycles transformed byLord Drake Kustoms, so we had to make two equal units: one for the dealer Harley Davidson Siebla Malaga and one for the dealership Harley-Davidson Capital Brussels.
The Stormracer is one of the first Cafe Racer motorcycles made byLDK, inspired by racing cars John Player Special. The first unit, once finalized at the Harley workshop in Malaga by Lord DrakeKustoms, went to Belgium, specifically to the dealer Harley-Davidson Capital Brussels who soon had been sold to a customer.
A short time later, when Fran Manen began transforming Harley motorcycles for the dealer Harley Siebla, he had to make a second unit, since the owner of the official dealer wanted another one to display and sell it at his Malaga Harley store.
The transformation of this Sportster Cafe Racer
Without any doubt, this Sportster Cafe Racer stands out for its elegance. The impressive paint and airbrushing job of this custom bike inspired by John Player Special colors hasIt been of a high level that has been able to combine different types of black to give it more detail to the work, without losing elegance.
A black gloss has been combined with black with gold pearl and all this darkness has been highlighted and detailed with pinstriping and logos of the fuel tank in gold. Another element to highlight in this Harley Davidson Sportster 883 custom is the modification made on a Sportster Custom fuel tank.
Harley sprung seat, permanentlyinstalled and springless, upholstered in black leather. Sportster R wheels, air filter and exhausts, handlebars, rear fenders, pilot and other elements make up this spectacular Harley Cafe Racer “Stormracer” .

This Sportster Scrambler Flat Track is the first Harley transformed by Lord Drake Kustoms in tribute to the famous Evel Knievel. Although this motorcycle has been transformed into the Harley workshop in Malaga, it has gone to the roads of France.
A man from France contacted Fran Manen (owner of LDK) almost a year ago; Just out of the Sportster Scrambler “Soulbreaker”. The man was interested in that type of Scrambler motorcycle and the work of LDK.
Meanwhile, in Lord Drake Kustoms they tried to do something new. A Harley Scrambler or Flat Track type but with a motorcycle airbrush more striking. One day, Fran Manen was sketching several ideas and graphics to make a Sportster Scramblertribute to Evel Knievel (to the great American legend).
An important detail is that, as in other works of LDK, in this transformed motorcycle the son of Fran (Álvaro Manén with only 9 years) was the main designer of all the painting and airbrush work on this motorcycle.
As always, he sent it to his contacts, clients and/or potential clients interested in the project he had just put on paper … and then the luck appeared … Michel (the famous French lord) saw the drawings and said: “That is the bike I want! the one you sent me in drawing, the tribute to Evel Knievel“.
As he said, the current owner of the motorcycle, got on a plane to fly from France to meet Fran Manen and his Custom and Harley workshop in Malaga. Of course, the details were finalized to begin the project that would be carried out on abase Sportster 1200 custom from 2005.
After the meeting and the meticulous study of the 3 paper sketches that were initially made, the final sketch that would have to become a reality was obtained. And that was what happened two months later: the new “Evel Knievel” motorcycle, a Scrambler motorcycle manufactured by Lord Drake Kustoms, was released.

The “SPORTRACKER” is a Harley Davidson Scrambler with V-Twin core and HD Sportster 1200 custom base. Manufactured by Lord Drake Kustoms in his Harley Davidson workshop in Malaga and which is probably one of the best motorcycle transformation workshops in Spain.
After the success obtained with the Sportster Scrambler “Soulbreaker” (a Harley Scrambler made on another Sportster 1200), the owner of LDK, Fran Manen, decided to make a new version of this bike but somewhat less sophisticated.
The process of creating this Harley Davidson Scrambler “Sportracker”
The base chosen is a Sportster of carburetion 2005. It began using very simple wheels, 40 spokes in black gloss and kept the odometer on the handlebars like the oldest motorcycles, with nothing of digital elements as in the previous Scrambler.
All the graphic design and the work of painting and airbrushing of this motorcycle is very simple. The colors (white, black and orange details) were chosen by his eldest son (who was born in 2005) and hence the number “05” of the side plates.
The rear fender with the integrated pilot, as well as the front fender and the side numbers are handmade by Lord Drake Kustoms.
Next Sportster Scrambler Kit
Fran Manen tells us that soon they will start offering a Scrambler kit for Sportster and parts manufactured by LDK, so that any owner of a Sportster can turn it into a Street Tracker, Scrambler or Flat Track motorcycle.
The “Sportracker” is a custom motorcycle that has been built in the new motorcycle transformation workshop in Spain that is newly opened by Lord Drake Kustoms to cover its customers in Europe.

A long time ago, Fran Manen (owner of Lord Drake Kustoms) listened to his good friend John talking about his idea to do a Harley Evel Knievel in his LDK motorcycle workshop transformation in Malaga.
One afternoon they were chatting about the new electric bicycles and suddenly the “Evel Knievel” spark that had been out for some time jumped. “It’s time to do something with more gas” and that was when John commissioned Lord Drake Kustoms to begin shaping Daredevil from Evel Knievel, a Scrambler motorcycle tribute to the famous American jumper.
This is how the return trip from “DAREDEVIL” to earth began!
The base would be a Sportster 1200, but this time the acronym HD did not mean Harley Davidson… they said “Harley Daredevil” … that fits like a glove.
To give an air Sportster Scrambler more retro, the modified Peanut-style tank was combined with a 21″ front tire. The graphics and colors were very easy to choose: the helmet and cape served as inspiration.
As always, there were three requirements by LDK in its motorcycles: Simplicity, Elegance and Class … “Less is More”.
Currently, this Harley transformed with Scrambler style and perfectly reminiscent of an Evel Knievel motorcycle, is located in Belgium where its owner has sent it to attend various events related to the world of two wheels.
