Royal Enfield Bullet 500 custom-built cafe racer by Kromworks: Unique, retro but futuristic

We're a month and some change into the new year and have already gawped at some interesting custom-builds but the one we're featuring today definitely takes the crown. A Royal Enfield Bullet 500 custom-built by Kromworks, based in Jakarta, Indonesia, is unlike any cafe racer design with a mix of retro and futuristic styling. Photo: kromworks/Facebook

Andika Pratama and his team have built themselves quite a reputation over the years and not much needs to be said about them with marvelous builds like this on their CV. Royal Enfield Indonesia approached the custom house for this build, handing them a brand new Bullet 500. Photo: kromworks/Facebook

Andika and the team came up with a cafe racer design but as you can see, it's no typical cafe. With the Bullet 500 clearly presenting with a 1950s design, it was quite a task a task to inject a futuristic appeal but is exactly what Kromworks did. And how.. Photo: kromworks/Facebook

The team custom-built the frame, swingarm and fork assembly, and replaced the rims with skinny 21" ones. Nothing from the original Royal Enfield remains. The exhaust is quite a work of art as it runs under the stainless steel seat pan behind the fuel tank which was handcrafted, as was everything else on this build. Photo: kromworks/Facebook

Kromworks also retrofitted the Bullet with a carburettor to keep the lines clean. It took the team only about five months to finish this elegant built. This just proves their work is worth bookmarking on your browser and keep an eye out for more. Photo: kromworks/Facebook
