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.

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.
