The Royal Enfield Customs
Royal Enfield motorcycles are built to be simple and accessible to the rider. It is this very same accessibility that opened the floodgates for customisers who wanted to give the motorcycles their own personal touch. Here are some of the best examples of motorcycle customisation from around the world
‘The Musket’ by Hazan Motorworks
Written by Andrew
‘Maxwell Hazan’ is a name that needs no introduction. As a two-time winner of Pipeburn’s “Bike Of The Year award”, he’s one of the few builders globally that could lay claim to the title of ‘World’s Best’. So what does a guy with so much raw talent, fabrication ability and vision do next? Magic two 500cc engines into a 1000cc V-twin and construct ‘The Musket’ around it.

Royal Enfield motorcycles make a great platform for building custom bikes. Old school Brit styling, reliable single cylinder engines and factory spoke wheels. This is exactly what New Delhi-based Bull City Customs have done with their latest build, putting their skills to work on a Royal Enfield AVL 350cc, and producing something far removed from your everyday Enfield.

Royal Enfields. Is there nothing they can’t do? Whether it’s carrying yaks around Tibet, or ferrying riders on trans-continental journeys, it seems that there’s not a thing on god’s green Earth that can stop them. And now we can add another notch to the bike’s belt – that of beach cruiser. The beach is just what Canada-based MotoVida Cycle Inc., used as inspiration for this simple yet impressive build.

Here’s a little piece of motorcycling trivia for you. Do you know why riders in the ’40s and ’50s ended up wearing flying jackets and aviator goggles? Give up? It’s because many of the English and American guys who’d flown planes in WWII took up motorcycling as something to do after the war was over. In many ways, the biking culture that we all enjoy today was a product of the flyboys. And what better way to acknowledge this than to build a bike that’s a lot more khaki canteen than it is café. Here’s the ‘Fox’, Old Empire Motorcycles’ latest build.

We have just begun to scratch the surface of Royal Enfield’s potential as a donor bike for single cylinder custom bobbers. A few changes in the frame, metal fabrication of the tank, toolbox, extending the swing-arm etc really make a big difference to the overall look without having to spend extensively on a custom build.
