Here's the brother from (not) another mother, Jarrod Del
Prado. “The customer on this build was, as usual, a very cool guy to work with.
He shares our passion for motorsports in a big way. Vintage, current, all of
it... so we decided to incorporate some of the colors of the 70's Elf F1 cars
into this bike - blue, black and white.”
“His only specific requirements were that he wanted a
rocker shifter and pipe wrap, otherwise he was cool with us doing what we do.”
Dream customer? Check.
In typical Del Prado fashion, the colours were chosen for
maximum impact. “We kept everything with the paint scheme simple and bold, and
finished it with matte clear. We built the rocker shifter and had it coated in
black to subdue the extra length.”
“It's based on a 1995 1200cc Evo
Sportster. We modified the frame with a stretched and lowered
hardtail. We tweaked the look of the motor by powder coating the primary
cover, cam cover and rocker boxes in matte black. Then we improved the performance
by adding a Crane Single Fire ignition and coil, and a Big Sucker
intake. On the exhaust side, Justin built a tidy equal length custom
exhaust finished in white.”
“Braking performance was improved dramatically with
Brembo rotors and calipers. We wrapped the 19" front and 17"
rear in Pirelli Night Dragon tires. As always, Justin proves that clean
wiring is an art form - everything flows beautifully. We used Biltwell's
aluminum throttle, Tracker handlebars, and Mushman foot pegs. The bike
looks really mean, really sharp, and my bro and I couldn't be happier with how
it turned out!”
