Cyclewerx Custom: 1983 Yamaha XV920
The new project arrived at the shop in December 2022 as a stock 1983 Yamaha XV920R — and left as a full Cyclewerx Custom cafe build. Stripped to the frame, polished, and rebuilt around carbon fibre bodywork, dual high-mount exhausts, inverted forks and upgraded brakes. Finished in August 2025 with a studio reveal.
The teardown
Every build starts the same way: strip it down to nothing and see what you're working with.
The build
Polished frame, carbon bodywork, and a full rework of the running gear — this is where the bike becomes something new.
The reveal
Carbon tank and tail, dual exhausts, and a stance that means business.
