Rider Mania 2017 is just around the corner with Royal Enfield bikers from all over the world ready to converge in Goa for the motorcycle festival.
The 3-day-event will feature a lot of activities like dirt track race, slow bike race and also many motorcycle customisers will be showcasing their Royal Enfield mods.
The Quint will be in Goa for the festival getting you all the action from there. But, before that here’s a teaser of what kind of customisations you can expect from the event.
This mean machine is ‘Jajabor the bobber’ built on the frame of a classic 500. The mod consists of hand made fenders, customised upside down front forks and hand-stitched leather seats.
The handlebars also get a custom touch with handle risers and the custom battery console delivers a clean setup.
The mod on the Classic gets old school headlamp and custom small signal lights.
This 350cc customised Royal Enfield has been developed by Kerala customisers Emperor Motorcycles.
The customisers wanted the bike to have a "Sophisticated Rebel" look and feel.
The gear has a perforated steel mesh applied on it, while the kickstart and brake pedal have been inspired from the heat shield found on rifles and gunmetal from bullet shells.
The bike has a vintage look to it and adds elements like a leather strap on the fuel tank.
Forscher Customs really have a unique style they incorporate when modifying RE (Royal Enfield) motorcycles. The above line-up shows some of the custom bikes from the Mumbai based company.
Jim Morisson ( extreme left ) by Forscher Customs sports a graffiti of the famous American singer and songwriter Jim Morisson and comes in a green-black colour combination.
The company says it’s the country’s first motorcycle with single sided swing arm in spokes rim.
The bike is designed with custom made chassis, tank, silencer, seats, mudguard, electric fitting and lights.
The Red Demon (extreme right) is the most eye catching offering in the line-up. It comes with matte red finish and has everything custom made except the engine.
The Explorer (in blue) has been modified with custom made chassis, tank, silencer, seats, mudguard, electric fitting and lights.
The red customised RE motorcycle is a 2015 Thunderbird 500. It sports custom seats, LED lighting including bar end indicators and a crazy racing exhaust. The cutomisers have named the bike 'Agastya’.
In white (see below gallery) is the 'Whitefang’ based on a Thunderbird 350.
It features the largest set of tyres in the line up to compliment the 140mm front forks.
The black beast (see below gallery) is called the 'Carbon SS’ based on a 2013 Electra 350. The ‘Carbon’ series offers only a single seat and the design is based on a new school Bobber.
