Custom conversion of an Indian FTR into a pure Flat Tracker
The initial design sketches and renderings were first translated into a clay model to find the form in 3D in preparation of the metal work. The team of artisans then worked their magic and formed and tinkered the actual parts out of metal. The speedometer screen got integrated into the tank cover and made it inlay and flush, so handlebar design is more pure and racing, without the gadgets.
To substitute the original plastic tank under the seat, the bike got streamlined and equipped with an aluminium flat track racing tank and tail section from Roland Sands.
Additional cool details like the Jetprime’s all-black racing control buttons and footpegs from Gilles give reference to the machine’s successful racing DNA.
The small tail light as well as the two small high tech headlights are from Highsider Germany which shine brightly the way in the dark.
The technically machined Synto Evo brake/clutch levers and brake fluid reservoir, as well as number plate holder are from ABM Fahrzeugtechnik and are equipped to match the color scheme of the bike.
The golden and black spoke wheels are from Kineo and are fitted with Michelin Anakee Wild knobby tires to give that fine snotty appearance.
The exhaust system is a special titanium version made by Zard and gives the amazing blue tint. The slip-on is a SC-Project exhaust and gives a round note to the two cylinder engine.
The saddle is a special custom upholstery by Zwahlen NIZ.
The paint is a rare mixture of “scrubbed” and high gloss shine in deep midnight blue with golden details. The trellis frame is painted pearl white to make it stand out and show its special beauty and gives amazing reflections in the sunlight.
