Custom-Built Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Is American-Style Heartthrob
Royal Enfield motorcycles have been the subject of interest for modifications for a very long time. The bikes of the brand, like the Bullet 350, Classic 350, Continental GT 650, and others, have undergone treatments that forced them to relinquish their identity completely by transforming their body types. Now, the relatively new bikes of the brand, like the Super Meteor 650 and Classic 650, have also caught the attention of those interested in transforming RE bikes. One such example is the custom-built Super Meteor 650, which has been transformed into an American-style chopper with multiple intricate details. Before we begin diving into the details of the changes, it is worth noting that the modifiers have made lots of efforts to build the bike without altering the frame of the Super Meteor 650. Apart from that, the first thing that catches attention is the round headlamp, which seems to be smaller compared to the one offered on the stock bike. Additionally, the stock handlebars have been replaced by the ape hanger style handlebars. All of these elements embrace a chrome finish for a shiny appearance.

This paint with pinstripes and unique design elements can be seen on the tank, front and rear fenders, and the side panels. The chopper is being called "Reverie" by the modifiers, and the name is highlighted on the tank. Along with this, the side panels have a thin metallic plate with text on it, which is in sync with the metallic plate running through the middle of the tank, which continues to the rear fender.

Adding retro vibes to the whole thing is a sissy bar mounted at the rear end. Meanwhile, there is no mention of mechanical changes in the machine. However, the riding triangle of the bike has changed because of the modifications.
