Originally, this transformed motorcycle was a Triumph Bonneville T100 that Lord Drake Kustoms has customized at his Miami motorcycle workshop to make into a true Triumph Scrambler.
This motorcycle was not the first Triumph Bonneville that we worked; It was the third we customized… and also, all for the same customer who is a lover of motorcycles from the prestigious English brand and Scrambler motorcycles. It was built in Miami, although shortly thereafter it was shipped to Hollywood, Los Angeles, where its owner currently resides.
Customizing this Triumph Scrambler “Blacktracker”
Fran Manen and his brand LDKdid a great artisan job in transforming this bike; The fuel tank, the entire Scrambler-style rear seat, and the front seat and fender were manually constructed of metal. The exhaust British Customs and other details such as shock absorbers gave this a very special Scrambler bike touch.
The painting and airbrushing on this bike has been very simple … no airbrushing or graphics and color … all gloss black. No Triumph emblems or side numbers; simply black.
The transformation of motorcycles like this, is usually always very similar and with the same type of elements and aspects, but this time this customized Triumph turned out to be totally different from everything seen so far.
Lord Drake Kustoms always tries to do different and original things on his custom bikes and above all he does not want his works to be clones of the rest of Cafe racer or Scrambler bikes that exist in the market; and even less when it comes to motorcycles that are for a market as exclusive as Miami or Los Angeles.

Harley-Davidson Softail Springer Classic FLSTSCI of the year 2005. A custom motorcycle “Old School”… really. Built by Lord Drake Kustoms in his custom Harley workshop in Miami (USA).
Well, here is the response of the owner of Lord Drake Kustoms to all those questions: A custom Bobber motorcycle, Old School! A real iron! An authentic Harley, American with character! A Softail Springer Classic… The “Springer SDT Vintage”.
This motorcycle customized in the motorcycle workshop of Lord Drake Kustoms in Miami (USA), has a detail to highlight, was commissioned by a regular customer of Fran Manen: “SDT Designs“. Which collaborated with LDK to result in this powerful Harley Old School. “SDT” are the initials of the name of the owner of the motorcycle transformed on this occasion.
The process of transforming this Softail Springer Classic
I didn’t want to use the typical and cheap Springer Aftermarket forks, so it was clear, you had to start with a very simple base to choose from… a Harley Softail. And for the result, to be more radical and authentic, a Softail Springer Classic.
The first thing was to undress the Harley Softail chassis to the point of removing the oil tank along with all the original engine and transmission covers of the Harley Twin Cam. We had to cut the entire rear of the chassis to start shaping this beauty.
The rear fender, the custom oil tank for Harley, in addition to all the connections, the base of the fuel tank, the base and the entire complete seat, the handlebars and the exhaust pipes, all were manufactured by Lord Drake Kustoms. He was also accompanied by aSportster fuel tank typepeanut which was also modified by LDK.
The rest of the engine and transmission covers of this Springer Softail were treated to move from the original chrome to the black textured powder coat. The finishes were very simple: pure steel with the rust that characterizes it and semi-gloss lacquer to protect it in fenders and fuel tank. It was also applied black powder coat with texture or gloss and red color to the rim of the tires.
The upholstery of the spring seat for this Harley was made with the same skin that uses Ferrari for the interior panels and consoles of its cars.
We must not forget the essence and soul in this world of customization and transformation of motorcycles, where this trend comes from. And without “Harleys” and without “Old School”, today we probably wouldn’t know the term “Custom Bikes” and all that it represents today.

This custom motorcycle is made on a Triumph Scrambler at Lord Drake Kustoms motorcycle transformation workshop in Miami. A Scrambler motorcycle totally different from what has been seen so far.
Gerard is the owner of this custom bike, a good friend of Fran Manen, who has a large collection of Triumph bikes. This was the second Scrambler that we did to this client in our custom motorcycle workshop in Miami; and as always we had to follow some very clear ideas.
Modifications for this Scrambler motorcycle
The Scrambler fuel tank used, comes from a Yamaha XT from the 70s, and had to be modified and adapted to the chassis of this transformed motorcycle completely. The seat and the two fenders were handcrafted.
The used exhausts are from the manufacturer British Customs and the Scrambler tires are from the Continental brand. In addition, air shocks were installed, a 7 ”headlight gave a very special touch to this Scrambler motorcycle.
In the transformation of motorcycles of this style, the painting and airbrushing work is usually more elaborate, but on this Scrambler motorcycle, it has been quite simple again. Dark blue color combined with black. The seat is upholstered in natural leather with a cream tone.
This custom Triumph has nothing to do with the typical Triumph Cafe racer or Scrambler that have been made until now. You may like it or you may hate it… but something is clear: it is original and is built in the custom workshop of Lord Drake Kustoms in Miami.
