With shops in Miami, Florida, and Málaga, Spain, Lord Drake Kustoms builds unique café racers, scramblers, bobbers and street trackers, specialising in Harley-Davidson builds.

What inspired Seventy?

Manen was inspired by the designs of the race cars and rallies of the 1970s. Martini was one of the most famous sponsors at the time and gave vehicles a stylish-look with its three-band colour designs: blue, light blue and red.

Manen, of Lord Drake Kustoms, decided to adapt them to this Harley Scrambler.

“The transformation was done in record time, since once the project started we came up with the idea of presenting it to the AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building in 2020,” Manen said.

Unfortunately the bike show was cancelled because of COVID-19, so Manen decided sell the bike and start a limited production of 10 units.

A handmade flat track rear tail, a custom modified fuel tank and a custom front fender were installed.  Spoke wheels with Continental tyres, installed Vance and Hines RSD trucker, K&N air filter, BMX type handlebar, etc.
