BCR's Canyon Carver
Re-designing motorcycles is i of the projects the BCR Team await frontward to. The planning process, the inventiveness involved together with the grind of creating something from an owner’s vision energize the entire BCR Team. It’s that creative unloose energy that brand us come upward to the doors of the BCR store every solar daytime amongst enthusiasm together with zest for what nosotros do.
We receive got been late commissioned to upgrade a beginner run a endangerment bike, a 2013 Ducati Hyperstrada, into something to a greater extent than aggressive, but lighter amongst similar riding position, a cycle that volition last ridden regularly inward canyon vogue route courses together with metropolis rides.
The cycle possessor is an avid passenger together with got tired of the stock await of the Hyperstrada. An upgrade inward functioning is the telephone commutation to re-designing this bike.
The await of the cycle is an of import aspect of the design. The possessor wants subtle, understated beauty but nevertheless stands out, i of a sort – something bystanders volition milkshake their caput inward amazement because they wouldn’t recognize the cycle together with last totally surprised to larn that it is a Hyperstrada.
The build begins amongst the subframe
When nosotros got the bike, it was completely stock except for the exhaust together with a dyad of bolt pocket-size parts. In whatever build, nosotros start past times removing the trunk panels together with exit the cycle to a rolling chassis. Once nosotros receive got the cycle to its bare bones, nosotros unremarkably start designing the tank. However, amongst this project, nosotros had to start amongst the subframe. The subframe would last the guide to brand the bottom of the tank business upward amongst the bottom of the seat. We used stainless steel to brand the sub frame together with so nosotros could exit it raw together with unpainted. To tuck the bike’s electronics, ABS pump, together with battery, nosotros made a box out of aluminum together with tucked it within the subframe.
Making the tank: the oculus slice of whatever custom cycle build
We dearest this business office of the procedure because nosotros acquire to create something magical.
After the subframe’s done, nosotros started making the tank. For us, the tank is the oculus slice of whatever custom cycle build. The gas tank dictates the overall await together with mental attitude of the bike. The gas tank definitely defines the bike.
Since what nosotros had inward heed for the cycle was to a greater extent than of a modern look, nosotros designed the tank to receive got a to a greater extent than angular stealthy await to it together with so that it would blend nicely amongst the stock trellis frame. We constructed it from aluminum together with used a modern keyless gas cap. We too added an air intake vent on the confine side of the cycle together with so that the cycle could suck air freely. We unremarkably exit the tank bare aluminum, but since the cycle volition last used a lot, nosotros designed the tank to receive got a depression maintenance outside finish. We painted the tank matte black, but amongst our signature gloss-black amongst aureate pinstripe highlight.
To blend amongst the shape of the tank, nosotros designed the topographic point angular every bit well, amongst scallop shape graphics on the side, but made it out of Carbon Fiber. To fit the modern Carbon Fiber material, nosotros used dark Alcantara cloth for the topographic point together with role aureate run upward to fit the aureate highlight on the painted scallop graphics that were on the tank together with seat. Since nosotros couldn’t discovery an aftermarket tail low-cal to fit the depression profile stealthy seat, nosotros decided to brand the tail low-cal out of metallic framing amongst LED bulbs.
This cycle was create to political party inward style!
Designing the Eyes of the Bike
The source affair you lot meet when the cycle pulls inward is the front end of the bike. Therefore, for this build nosotros decided to create something different. We shaped the lay out fairing apartment but amongst angular cuts to fit the overall trunk panels off the bike, together with decided for a to a greater extent than oval LED headlight together with off oculus the topographic point to a greater extent than to the left side. The front end fender hugs the front end wheel amongst a muscular Beffy Fender bracket.
Making the Exhaust
Just similar whatever cycle builds nosotros do, nosotros wanted the exhaust for this cycle to last different. We decided to create segmented headers, together with staggered the topographic point of the drinking glass packed mufflers. For the fuel arrangement of the cycle to adjust amongst the exhaust ready nosotros made, nosotros installed a ability commander PCV system.
Designing our ain Pegs together with Foot Controls
Since this was a total solid set down upward build, nosotros didn’t desire to merely role the stock pegs together with pes controls. We wanted to role something that nosotros created, together with so nosotros made our ain behavior trap vogue pes pegs, together with pes controls amongst gusstes amongst speed-holes out of stainless together with machined aluminum knurled ends.
Designing the Suspension custom-fit to the owner’s riding style
The stock Hyperstrade recess had real express adjustment capabilities. The front end is measure USD ready without adjustments, together with the dorsum entirely had compression together with preload summit adjustments. The shocks were ready for unproblematic ride to a greater extent than or less highways together with unproblematic crude oil roads. However, for this bike, the possessor wanted more. He wanted to receive got the recess custom-fit to his riding style. He wanted something to ride to a greater extent than or less twisty canyons amongst ease, together with too receive got it ready for weekend race track. We ready the recess amongst MUPO Race Suspension bring upward daze together with front end fork cartridges amongst variable adjustments.
Putting the Bike on a Diet
Before nosotros started on this build, the possessor requested to lay the cycle on a diet. So other than removing the over engineered stock brackets, subframe together with stock aluminum wheels, nosotros lay inward Carbon Fiber wheels past times BST. The weight savings is to a greater extent than than half, together with the raw CF await volition await dainty on the bike.
Seeing the destination design
Transforming this cycle was a lot of fun. This was i of our dream build. In re-designing this bike, nosotros were given creative freedom: nosotros were able to pattern it based on our imagination together with squad effort, together with nosotros were able to role race spec parts together with modifications. The cycle had a beautiful together with positive transformation - a totally unique look, an aggressive sound, together with race functioning upgrades.
