Kawasaki ZRX1200R custom by deBolex Engineering
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Bike Shed editor Ross and CameraDan took a day trip out of the arches to go visit Debolex Engineering HQ to get the full low-down on their last 1/1 custom builds before starting their new ‘Series’ projects.
Their take on this Eddie Lawson inspired Kawasaki ZRX1200R certainly didn’t disappoint their beady little eyes (and ears!).
DeBolex Engineering founder Calum talks us through what went into this striking and beautiful build in the usual detail that goes into their creations.
It’s nearly 27mins of fabrication goodness mind you (you’re welcome). So get that kettle on, kick back, geek out and maybe learn a thing or two on what goes into a deBolex build.

They always have the best finishes on their builds.
let the man finished his sentences my guy. i want to hear the bike builder story. sheesh
Another masterpiece by Callum and Des. I love all the details on this bike.
Kawasaki man here. I love it. Owned 3 zx7r over the years. Would love to see debolex,do Debollox with a zx7.
It is hard to tell how I love it, he pulled out this moto straightly from 90s anime... Every details of details are perfect, I love it.
Daayymmm. I was expecting the headlights to pop up like a Toyota AE86 but daaayymm nice build.
The thought into the design and attention to every detail is phenomenal. Properly impressive!
The most amazing build I've seen - this is a mindblast - I love it!
The De Bolex engineering is unquestionably of a very high standard, but the elephant in the room is the design/shape of the fairing and tank, I know beauty is in the eye etc, I'm not going to spoil anyones weekend by commenting, but????
Really wish he'd let callum talk us through the bike instead of constantly talking over him and dropping in the "in" brand names that are bolted on the bike!
Very beautiful bike! I’ve owned a ZRX since 2005 and it’s a great machine.
Would have liked the headlamp cover flip up like old muscle cars.

Just incredible. The level of workmanship from these guys is just insane. Absolutely stunning. 👌
Outstanding video, I really appreciated your taking the time to show the incredible detail below the surface. This shows just how thoughtful Debolex' team really are. Bravo!
The build is realy nice, clean and purposeful.
Thanks for this video - this bike is awesome - so well built!! deBolex rock!!
Man , that is a good looking bike
Now that's a custom motorcycle, very nice work , very talented people.
That paint job. Beautiful.
That’s definitely de-bollox, what an amazing bike, I’m well jell now lol . I also love the geeky bits and pieces too. Still on the fence about the colour, the new Kawasaki candy green would have looked fantastic, but it’s not my bike and the customer loves it. I love how you went about the different shapes and styles in the metal work, the lines are to die for and are perfect looking, i freaking lurve it. Awesome video guys.
Absoluteley beautiful
Absolutely perfect, I'll take it
Stunning job! 👍
Beautiful bike
As the name says that is de bolex the fit & finish is just a class above most, I like the idea of you guys moving into limited run customs it just make scene form a business & customer point of view.
Not my cup of tea, but i appreciate the insane talent these guys have. I also like Ross's vlogs because he knows what he's looking at, and talking about. Fascinating build, ta.
I wish this clown would shut his trap long enough to let the actual engineer who built it talk us through it.

Let’s talk about the camera man. This looks like an episode of csi. Shaky and zooming in and out for no reason
Really a clean job well done
Brilliant thanks for the video you have a fantastic eye for symmetry on every thing and mostly British parts especially the suspension and wheels Maxton beautiful 150 percent the best ever de bolox love it
the masters of master craftsmanship
Absolutely sublime.
From a Z900RS Cafe owner... this looks great!
One of the best in the business. I’ve built a couple of bikes, this is impressive.
Oh my, I love that bike
JMO looks like a half finished cafe racer conversion.
Im typically not a fan of those washed out 60s/70's style greens, but it works very well on this bike. I love everything about the build! Well done!!
It has me at underseat exhaust Looks like a Kawa take on an ME 900 Love it
Another lovely build, can I have a katana version ?
stunning man!
🇧🇻 Thank You!
Magnificent bike!
That build is absolute perfection, outside and underneath. 🙌 The only thing I see as a problem is the lithium battery getting hot from the end cans.
What a beautiful creation and finished to the highest standards. The only thing I would want to change is the shade of green to the old racing mean green. Either that or a black and red gpz influenced scheme.
It's fantastic!
So amazing
Beautiful
Bloody gorgeous.
Love my ZRX and this would be tops in the original candy lime green. I’d be into a fairing kit.

Get yourself a ZRX1200-S... Fairing from the factory.
As a, sadly, ex ZRX1200R owner. All I can say is........ YUK!!!!!
Beautiful bike.....
That motorcycle is fkn beautiful.
Perfection
Excellent 🤩
Looks like a tractor...I love it!
I wish I was the customer! It's perfect
Ross every interview: “So you just kindof smash a bit of aluminum round and get this?”
amazing.... amazing
What a truly beautiful piece of engineering and design. I love this older Japanese bikes, and this takes it another ten levels. Interviewer; it would have been better if you let the chap finish what he was saying before interrupting. It comes across as a bit rude when you’ve asked him something but don’t let him finish explaining. Good interview. Just that note. 👍
Reminds me of the green thunderbirds ship..

Have a 04 ZRX R with 10,000 miles. She still scares me when I give her some gas and those 4 inline carbs kicks in!

She’s still all stock except I painted all black. Engine still has the gold/bronze color. For a 16 year old she’s still beautiful!
Nice bike; she deserves a set of Yosh cams and head work. I don’t care for the look or the colour but the bike is epic
Очень красивый и стильный мотоцикл.
uhhhhh I will steal this color for my bike :D
Good quality work here. Like all the details. Not sure if those carbs are happy to suck in some dirt or whatever the rear wheel is going to throw there. How you manage with the heat when the headlight cover is in it's place and the lights are on?
That headlight though.
Bikes like this just a target for the cars..But with all the crap on the road, I got to say this bike looks and sound HOT..
My brother in Christ let the man speak
Reminds me of an old Z but on steroids 👌
🤘😎
The attention to detail is unbelievable! I would very much like to know where I can find the fairing bolts.
😍😍😍😍😍
Amazingly beautiful. Someone could tell the name of the band who made the MUSIC at the beginning of the video ?
that is one spectacular job. talk about attention to detail smh it is perfect
It's very cool, and the finish is exquisite, but it does looks like a Z1000 swallowed a 1988 CBR600 and had a hiccup half way down whilst pooping out an RG500.

I'm on same meaning : very great finish and very neat work & great job, but the design and military green color are a little bit...strange. Then, everyone has their own tastes ...😉
Guys, what have you done with the clutch? I noticed a master cylinder. Have you changed it completely, or have you gone with a conversion kit? thanks
BLEAHHHHHHH
I follow them on insta there bikes are gorgeous
Any chance of releasing the front cowl for purchase? That would be a massive upgrade for my ZRX1200S
As a geek I prefer listen to the builder
Turn on English subtitles, "bollocks engineering" lol. Amazing bike though, 10/10 for detail.
nice .. looks like Ducati Imola or Paul smart ... but looks great ..
I had a 1976? Fiat 128 that was a very similar color to that.
Ducasaki.
Stylings not my cupotea but great engineering
G. i joe ram!
MMmmm cannot fault the Qwalitee of the work,awesome,looks........prefer the zrx,but it's not my bike,hint of a vetter Mysteryship/ and a kr500gp tail-ish to me ,but i am an old git.If only my bikes were as clean.
how much does it cost to order a custom bike like this.
I'm not ready for that 3 seconds warning
I think this is the only zrx that I have ever seen that I Don’t love
Forgot to put “ de Bolex” on the tires 😖
Kawisatana?
Only thing missing is a racing number
The devil is in the details. 😉
My only gripe here is the color. It looks depressing. The rest of the build is great.👍

You picked it perfectly, like all the parts fabricated on this bike, there is a match for everything. Your observation on the colour sits perfectly under the English skies, depressing.🚿
Bike porn. Love it!
Where are those RE 650
So... they'll be making a Royal Enfield 650 deBolex then...
This is sad but that caliper is anti-wirelocked
Nose looks like the old BMW touring bike... r1100rt but with a popup headlight :/
Nice bike but he didn't really want to start and warm it up...kinda disappointed
