Royal Enfield Classic 350 Custom Bobber Is a Representation Of the Bygone Era
Royal Enfield has been the preferred choice of enthusiasts who wish to create a custom bike using it as a base. Until now, this has been the case for workshops in India. However, the models and the zeal to bring something new out of them have now spread to other parts of the world. In this particular case, we will take a look at a custom bobber created by modifying a Royal Enfield Classic 350 by Eimor Customs. While traces of the bike remain, most of the design has been changed to look like a vintage bobber. Called the Shibusa, the vintage-looking bike gets retro looks, credits to the round headlamp. This is complemented by new custom-made girder forks ditching the original forks. It is to be noted that this unit has been created in-house for the motorcycle. Apart from changing the aesthetic appeal of the bike, the forks bring significant changes to the geometry of the bike. The bike also gets 18-inch rims with vintage-looking tires on both ends. To achieve the look, the rims get zinc-plated spokes and brass nipples. When it comes to the bodywork, a handmade fuel tank takes center stage, featuring an ornate brass filler cap on top and rubber knee pads along the sides. Positioned directly behind this beautiful tank is a bobber-style seat base, which is adorned with sophisticated brown leather upholstery. The rear fender is set back, with a cylindrical faux oil tank beneath the seat that serves as an airbox and houses electronics. Further back, the bike features an axle-mounted license plate holder next to a brass-encased circular taillight.

Higher up, there is a handlebar with brown leather grips and brass levers, along with a vintage-style Smiths speedometer, but it lacks mirrors. Engine modifications include a custom exhaust and polished lower cases. Eimor Customs opted for a minimal paint scheme in off-white for the frame, swingarm, and forks.
