CAFÉ RACER 76: THE WARRIOR – HARLEY DAVIDSON SPORTSTER XL1200 ’02

Written by Donny Ariyanto

You might have already seen our earlier features on Studio Motor’s, but really this is totally different!. THE WARRIOR is one of our latest ventures, based on 2002 Harley Davidson Sportster XL1200. Unlike most owners who slap on bits and bobs from the parts catalogue, Mr. Onny Hendro wanted to go the custom way, and make his ride stand out and different than others. Maybe you don’t know about this bike’s owner? Yup, Mr. Onny who got the nick name “Kaji Edan” ever made public shocking with his Toyota Alphard “Metromini” style. Back to topic, unsurprisingly, he approached us with the intention of crafting something inspired by Scrambler look. With the exception of the engine, he wanted everything to be custom-made, and so it was.

We added a custom frame looks like an original frame and Showa Upside Down front end, along with spoke wheels sized 19X2.50 inch at the front and 16X3.50 inch for rear, fitted with 4.00-19 and 5.00-16 Firestone ANS Military respectively. Khrome Werkz fatbar handlebar is joined by Billet Specialties hand control, custom headlight with 2 lamps, offset aftermarket rear light, custom solo seat and bag rack at the top of rear fender, Avon handgrip, EMGO bar end mirrors and Dan Moto 2 in 1 competition exhaust system. Post a stunning paint job and airbrush by Komet Studio (it almost catchy look, doesn’t it?), this custom Harley-Davidson Sportster XL1200 is Scrambler style, with a hint of modern touches here and there, and speaks volumes about satisfaction, as well as the owner’s desire to make a personal statement. Have a nice ride Mr. Kaji Edan, one day we will trying this bike for long trip. Gotcha!!!
