Iconic Kawasaki Binter Merzy Chopper: Standing Out from the Crowd

KustomGaras x Yora Racer

This motorcycle I bought from sam_custom, a workshop located in Sukabumi, West Java. Initially, I bought this chopper in a fully rusted/rustic condition, and thankfully, it now shines bright!

Make, Model, and Year of the Motorcycle:

Kawasaki Binter Merzy 200 CC, 1982

Why Did You Decide to Customize the Motorcycle?

To make it stand out from the crowd. While there are many chopper concepts in Indonesia, not all choppers look the same because it depends on the owner's individual customization choices.

What Was the Concept and Inspiration?

The chopper concept is inspired by Harley Davidson motorcycles.

What Parts Were Customized, and What Are Their Specifications?

All items are handmade (custom) except for the engine and the original front shock absorber from the manufacturer.

Rear wheel: 16-450 custom full chrome

Rear drum: Original KLX 150

Rear tire: Firestone brand, size 16-500

Front wheel: Original Suzuki TS ring 21-160

Front drum: Triumph Chonical custom

Front tire: Avon Speed Master MKll size 21-300

Exhaust: Freeflow full stainless

Headlight: TT&CO brand, original Japan

Triple tree: Custom handmade

Handlebars: Ape hanger, custom handmade

Front footpegs: Custom handmade full chrome

Front shock absorber (telescopic): Original Scorpio

Peanut tank with a capacity of 4.5 liters

What Part of the Motorcycle Do You Like the Most, and Why?

The handlebars and footpeg position. Because with these two component positions while riding, I feel very majestic and elegant from any angle (just gotta be confident, haha) 😁✌️

Tell Us About the Ups and Downs of the Customization Process?

Mostly the engine rebuild, as this engine had been handled by several workshops before finally finding a satisfactory one.

Are There Any Other Modifications You Want to Make to the Motorcycle?

I want to install a Harley Davidson type WL springer.

Describe Your Motorcycle Creation in 3 Words?

Asphalt may be the same black, but the motorcycle still needs to have its own unique characteristics to stand out and become iconic for the rider.
