Hyderabad-based Eimor Customs have transformed the venerable retro roadster into a beautiful vintage-inspired bobber
Eimor Customs from Hyderabad has been known to create some tasteful motorcycle modifications. One such creation of theirs is the ‘Regale’, a vintage-era bobber conversion of the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.
To look the part of a quintessential bobber, the custom house chopped off the subframe to make it strictly a single-seater. Of course, this also meant they had to reposition the shock absorbers, which came with its own set of engineering challenges. The positioning of the rear twin gas-charged shock absorbers encroached upon the battery box and air filter compartment, so they had to be redesigned. In addition, Eimor has also created custom made compartments for tools, which look like vintage ammunition boxes. To go with the nostalgic theme, Eimor used plenty of brass highlights on the motorcycle, along with a wide beach bar fitted with an offset instrument cluster with an integrated custom brass nameplate. Even the stock headlamp has been replaced by an aftermarket one mounted on custom brackets.
It also gets custom front and rear fenders housing aftermarket block pattern tyres. The front fender-mounted brass license plate adds to the retro flair. To ensure minimalism, the tail light has been integrated into the license plate and the bullet type indicators are mounted on the shock absorber mounting points. Oh, and there’s also a pair of retro-looking stainless steel silencers replacing the stock upswept units. To ensure a comfortable riding stance, the motorcycle also comes with custom brackets holding the rider’s footpegs.
The Regale was showcased at the 2019 Rider Mania. Overall, this custom bobber does make us wonder whether Royal Enfield should really consider making one. It may be niche but the road presence that’d come with it will definitely be unrivalled. After all, the 650 twins’ simple, no-frills chassis is meant to be a canvas for an enthusiast’s imagination.
