The Vespa GTS 300 scooter, when infused with the artistry of VTR Customs in Switzerland, becomes a bespoke marvel named ‘Peppone,’ reminiscent of the iconic duo from Don Camillo & Peppone.

This scooter boasts a polished finish, exuding elegance, accentuated by striking red details that amplify its charisma.

One of the standout features of this customized Vespa is its bespoke seat, meticulously crafted to enhance comfort while riding.

Complementing its sleek design and adding an exhilarating touch is the Akrapovic Exhaust, not just an auditory delight but a performance enhancement that elevates the scooter’s experience to new heights.

The fusion of VTR Customs’ craftsmanship with the classic Vespa GTS 300 model results in a unique, personalized masterpiece that pays homage to tradition while embracing modernity.

‘Peppone’ stands as a testament to both innovation and reverence for the Vespa legacy.

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).

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.

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 a Sportster fuel tank type peanut 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.

One of its conditions was that the rear should stand out for the presence of a wide tire. A wide wheel for the Sportster, which could be 240 or 200.

Finally, a 200 wheel was chosen not to be too exaggerated. Another request was that he didn’t want any kind of graphics or airbrushing on the motorcycle: “I wanted everything black, except the Harley gas tank that has to be in pure metal.

Tailor-made Harley exhaust pipes painted with ceramic coat, handmade fenders, Rough Crafts air filter, led headlight, custom fuel tank, and many other details; They shaped this personalized Sportster with Old School style.

As for the finishes, Lord Drake Kustoms has a manufacturing and upholstery service for custom motorcycle seats, which has given a different and unique look to the spring seat for Sportster that has been installed.

Time does not stand still, as much as we would like to – but there is a consolation: even after six decades of Harley customizing, even with the very latest, most technically sophisticated HD models of all time, maintaining the popular and proven custom styles is possible , even though Harley-Davidson is currently looking for new customers, new “climbers” in the saddle of their products – sometimes you have to search for the future in the past. Because a surprising number of “newcomers” in the scene are looking for and even in modern motorcycles, the “old values”: And the team of Thunderbike knows exactly these values ​​in Harley’s most modern models to “wake up” …

https://youtu.be/VhfUTIYErYE

Introducing a “Bolt On and Ride” bike just at the end of the motorcycle season may seem a bit counterproductive – especially if you take the word “Ride” literally. But the motorcycle season at Custom Chrome Europe has always lasted into autumn – and last but not least there’s a not-so-unimportant season: customizing over the fall, winter and spring months. They like to show the latest parts on a complete motorcycle, especially if it is such a successful setup as the “Cross Bob” built by the longtime CCE partner Thunderbike in Hamminkeln. Because it’s based on one of the newest Harley models, the 2018 FXBB “Street Bob”.

The “Cross Bob” premiered at the 2018 edition of European Bike Week: While Harley-Davidson presented their latest Milwaukee-Eight powered piece of jewelery at the Harley-Village, CCE unveiled its newest piece of jewelry at the Arneitz Custom Show on September 3rd. A “New School” Bobber at its best!

The “Cross Bob” premiered at the 2018 edition of European Bike Week: While Harley-Davidson presented their latest Milwaukee-Eight powered piece of jewelery at the Harley-Village, CCE unveiled its newest piece of jewelry at the Arneitz Custom Show on September 3rd. A “New School” Bobber at its best!

The parts list is long and contains prominent names, which makes it hard to be brief: The invisible core of the suspension is the new lowering kit from Müller Motorcycles, which allows the suspension to be lowered to 35 mm, for show purposes even 40 mm! Thunderbike quickly followed with a front fork lowering kit, further downsizing the seating position of the new Softail suspension! For a filigree “New School” look, CCE donated a set of RevTech “Nitro Black” design wheels, of course with matching brake discs and drive pulley – the selected radical tires with Heidenau K60 Scout tires in the lug profile provide the “Cross Over” touch.

The fenders over the two rubbers are “Heavy Metal” by TXT, already finished with the new M8 Softails. The Milwaukee Eight propulsion unit has been completely covered with new EMD covers – also current novelties – and Thunderbike’s “Grand Classic” air filter fits perfectly to the theme. With the Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde equipment, the sound of the new M8 engine comes into its own – and the systems have been homologated since the launch of the M8 Touring models.

The conversion shows new parts of Chopper Kings (handlebars), Rebuffini (hydraulic cylinders and switches), Chopper Kulture (headlights), LePera (seat), Hell’s Kitchen (rear turn signal), TLT (electric box for CAN-BUS adaptation) – and of course Thunderbike , from whose extensive program rest system, side license plate carrier, Gabelverkleidung and many other details originate.
The FXBB “Cross Bob” is the second 2018 “Softail” in the 2018 “BOAR” line-up – and the first one with ancestry from a former “Dyna” model, the FXDB “Street Bob”. A true first for CCE’s 10th anniversary year of “Bolt On and Ride” history – and rolling proof that even with the new chassis and engines from Harley-Davidson the old styles can be maintained and continued in the future. But now it’s time to drive – because the days are getting shorter again …
