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.

    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????

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.

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. 👍
