Urban Superhooligan | Honda Fmx 650 Toma#18
Every projection ever starts inwards the same way, a homo who wants a wheel that satisfies his gustation as well as needs as well as someone who tries to position words into a tangible object as well as fifty-fifty Toma Customs does non escape these parameters, inwards fact Thomas tells us almost this projection as well as its evolution.
When nosotros start a project, nosotros showtime want to listen almost the clients’ wishes as well as transformation ideas. It is a smashing chance for us to teach to know our client as well as enables us to visualize what his dream wheel would await like. For this project, the approach was different. We already knew really good our client Bruno as well as his wishes for customization has it is truly the minute wheel nosotros construct for him.
He already ordered a projection inwards the past, also based on a Honda but alongside a smaller engine. Quite aware of Bruno's desires as well as gustation from our past times projection alongside him, nosotros knew he would want to teach for a quite minimalist, sober as well as neat projection alongside a rather route / urban heart use. When he came to the workshop to verbalize over his novel project, he added that for this specific projection he wanted something radical as well as unique ... So nosotros went together to teach a adept java inwards the pub adjacent to the workshop to verbalize over almost the projection as well as chop-chop nosotros agreed on a concept of a urban version of the Superhooligan motorcycles.
We as well as so only had to uncovering the correct base of operations to start the project. After some query nosotros constitute that the Honda FMX 650 was the ideal base of operations for his project, slowly to uncovering minute manus as well as alongside its stock inverted fork as well as 17 '' wheels. We were on the same wavelength for the projection as well as Bruno trusted us, so he got a Honda FMX which would serve equally the projection base of operations without fifty-fifty having defined all the details of the project, entirely the budget make was set.
It is a agency of working that nosotros similar too, to laid the bases of the projection as well as and so allow it evolve piece working on the bike. When Bruno brought us the FMX 2 weeks later, nosotros so completely dismantled the wheel to cash inwards one's chips along entirely the wheels, the frame as well as the engine, as well as from as well as so nosotros imagined everything together.
As Bruno has is part non far away from the workshop, he came regularly to encounter the progress of the projection as well as it allowed us to demo him what nosotros imagined for the adjacent steps at each telephone commutation phase of the project: the type of tank, handlebar, headlight, side covers, exhaust, he fifty-fifty came iii times to drive the saddle as well as the adjustments of the foam so it fits perfectly earlier nosotros sewn the alcantara leather on it. We honey this variety of projection as well as human relationship alongside the customers, to accept their ideas into trouble organisation human relationship as well as drive to attain their dream motorcycle, all this happening inwards the workshop approximately the wheel without going through Photoshop.
It's truly almost this variety of sense that nosotros want to evolve as well as choose our customers to, discussing details, sharing what nosotros do, brand them come upwards to the workshop to alive the projection together, non only buying a product, but alive an sense together as well as construct the motorbike of their dream. Regarding the modifications, nosotros wanted to play alongside the full general delineate of the bike, so nosotros decided to supersede the master copy tank past times a smaller i as well as align / shorten the nurture part of the frame.
We cutting as well as welded a shorter frame loop as well as replaced the master copy huge saddle past times a custom spot base of operations that nosotros as well as so sewed past times our workshop. The goal as well as roofing of the saddle is inwards Alcantara leather. Replacing the handlebar also helped operate on the delineate of the bike. All electronic components take keep been replaced past times novel as well as to a greater extent than minimalist elements (led indicatorlights, speedometer) to brand the motorbike await to a greater extent than modern.
List of modification also includes the construct of an electricity box, bespoke side covers, bespoke exhaust header alongside Supertrapp silencer. In the front end nosotros removed the fairing as well as replaced it past times a tiny led headlight as well as an Aluminum Endurance plate to give the wheel a radical look. The colouring of the tank is the master copy i but nosotros applied a matt varnish coat to brand the wheel await to a greater extent than aggressive.
