Time and place are important when you’re considering a bike build. Take custom shop Moto Exotica, for example. It’s based in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India, which is not far away from the foothills of the Himalayans. Is that what led shop founder Arjun Raina to carefully craft what he calls the Ultimate Himalayan for Royal Enfield? Perhaps.
As we’ve previously discussed, the words “custom bike” can mean all kinds of things, and it all depends on the builder. From lightly customized creations that use off-the-shelf components and perhaps a new lick of paint, a vinyl wrap, or some new graphics, to all-out creations with a load of custom fabrication involved, the world of custom bikes is a diverse one, for sure.
