Having featured so many custom-built motorcycles on our website, it did get us wondering why was it that we never came across one based on the steampunk era. Looks like our prayers have been answered. This Royal Enfield Bullet 500 built by GDesign is a broad tracker with steampunk-ish elements and to say the least, the black and gold paint theme is working wonders for it. (Source: BikeExif)

Giacomo was going to use aftermarket front forks from India-specific Bullet, but they turned out to be poorly made and rickety. So he pulled them apart to weld, strengthen and rebuild them.

A 2008 Royal Enfield 500 Bullet boardtracker with steampunk style, but it looks as though it belongs to the early 1900s.
