Saw this bike on Instagram and posted a message that I'd like a few more pictures. Wasn't long later that my inbox got a message with some pics attached. Over to Ben from Zero Drag Customs in Indonesia.
The bike I started with was a 1996 Honda GL Max II. I bought the bike for about $1,000USD from a local Indonesian mechanic. I had always liked the look of the Ecosse Heretic so I used it as my inspiration. I wanted to create a bike that was fun and functional, but with more of a street tracker style.
The frame was extended about 15cm. Motor has been stroked to 230cc. Upgraded to upside down forks and bigger wheels and tires. Custom tank, ZD signature gas cap, and fenders. Custom battery housing. The handle bars & controls are from a Yamaha Byson. Rear hub from Kawasaki Ninja 150. Upgraded to front and rear disc brakes. I hate drum brakes........I repeat.....I hate drum brakes. I always wonder why guys don't upgrade to disc brakes when customizing their bikes. Also the custom exhaust gives off a nice throaty rumble. Not bad for a little 230cc single banger. Hope you like my build.
