The first Yamaha Scrambler coming out of the workshop customizing motorcycles LDK in Spain. On this occasion, we have not chosen a Harley Davidson, nor a BMW or Triumph motorcycle.
“I want to customize a motorcycle, which can be corporate and I want to do it with a Fazer 98.” This is what José (owner of Sixtino Design Labs) told Fran Manen of Lord Drake Kustoms. The customer was clear that he wanted something Scrambler, with taco wheels and the matte green fuel tank. From there, LDK had total freedom to build this project.
How the Yamaha Fazer was customized into a Scrambler
A transformed motorcycle, simple, but well made (less is more) and with very special details; as the rectangular motorcycle headlight and the mask, a touch that has given the motorcycle a lot of personality and with which we have also managed to escape the boredom of the typical 7-inch round headlights or the round headlights with grille.
The rear turn signals have been incorporated into the tubes of the subframe itself, once it was modified. The front and rear suspensions were modified to give a more stylized line to the project.
Regarding the finishes and the paint, this motorcycle has acquired a green military-type tank, with the matte black predominantly in the rest. The brown seat and the detail of the light tinted in yellow have made this motorcycle a very attractive combination that is surprising to people who see it in person. Its own creators did not expect this Scrambler result with a motorcycle like the Yamaha Fazer.
On the Sixtino Design Labs website, there is a phrase that says: “We are passionate about combining innovative ideas with designs that please the eyes.” This phrase has been the basis for this project; It has been innovated using a motorcycle not very common until now in the world of motorcycle customization and has been combined with a design with bases Scrambler and Street Tracker style that has resulted in a Yamaha Scrambler very striking facing to the fans and people who have seen it.

In the purest style, without this Yamaha Cafe Racer losing the classic touch and doing something different at the same time. Especially elegant, very elegant … a custom motorcycle to admire.
For this, he has chosen a very special motorcycle like the Yamaha XS650. But, in addition, to give it more exclusivity, he chose the Triple USA Custom model. It is one of the limited three-cylinder models of these XS that was only marketed in the USA; and where this unit came from.
The transformation process of this Yamaha Cafe Racer “Cream”
The Cafe Racer style rear tail is made of metal and hand-made in the image and likeness of the fuel tank. The rear turn signals have been embedded in the bars of the chassis, which was cut and the front suspension was shortened to give the general line to this motorcycle.
Firestone Deluxe Champion tires were usedto give it a more retro look. For the painting and airbrushing of this motorcycle, cream color for the base has been chosen (hence its name “CREAM”) that has been applied with powder coating on the chassis and other elements of the motorcycle by the company Metal Colors.
The base color has been combined with other elements painted in copper candy and also by applying powder coating on elements such as tires, controls, engine covers, etc.
The result was this beautiful Yamaha Cafe Racer that has led to the LordDrake Kustoms workshop, make changes to their concept to adapt to the market of custom motorcycles in Spain. A challenge for the inauguration of its second Cafe Racer workshop in Spanish lands, since in Miami where it has its headquarters, the style and market is totally different.
