Extreme drag-bike modification for Hero Xtreme: Turbocharger and streamliner fairing!

Custom bike scene in Persian Gulf may be small for now but that didn't stop it from churning out an 'xtreme' build. The Dubai custom shop Bikers Cafe gives three new motorcycles every year to local customisers for an annual build-off. One of these was a Hero Xtreme 150, amusingly called the Thriller in the UAE.

Custom bike builders may turn their nose up having been told that a 150cc commuter is the base bike for a build but this one by Marc and Alan at VR Customs turned it into the winning entry. They build a hard tail retro drag bike out of what essentially is a pizza delivery bike. (Source: Bikeexif)

It may still not be a 10-second quarter mile muncher, but it is the most extreme modification on an Xtreme we've ever seen. The boys tweaked the frame for strength, gave it a hardtail rear end, fitted a turbocharger, custom-built the exhaust, and added a streamliner. (Source: Bikeexif)

As per the rules, Marc and Alan left the motor’s internals alone—but plugged in a few go-faster goodies. These include a PE30 Keihin carb, and a turbocharger designed for smaller bikes. Peripherals like a silicon intake pipe, and a new oil tank and pump, were added too. (Source: Bikeexif)

The Hero rolls on a veritable smörgåsbord of borrowed parts. The front forks and brake caliper are from a Suxuki GSX-F750, with a 17” Honda CRF supermoto front wheel. The rear wheel’s a combo of a Honda CRF supermoto hub and an 18” CRF MX rim. (Source: Bikeexif)

The fairing is a modern replica of a 1950s MV Agusta design. It needed a little trimming to help it fit the bike, and the lads had to figure out a way to mount it. “We used 2mm stainless plate inside the fairing, and then 10mm stainless tubing from the fairing onto the bike,” explains Marc.
