From a stock bike to this gorgeous-looking racer in only six weeks – now that is how you smash deadlines. Built as an entry into Royal Enfield Australia's 'Busted Knuckles Build Off', owner Ric Steele who owns an RE dealership MotoMAX in Perth wanted to enter the contest so he called Billy at Rogue Motorcycles for a team up. And to say the least, the team came up with one hella slick design. (Source: Bikeexif)

The custom-build is riding on Benelli TNT 1130's forks, swingarm, wheels, and brakes. Ric and Billy wanted an endurance-style fairing much like the early 90s Honda CBR250R MC22. They called in Clive from The Hammer Works in Rockingham, who fabricated the fairing from scratch before whipping up a new tail cowl to match. (Source: Bikeexif)

The team got Doug on board to hook up the new Tarozzi rear sets, and to machine some bar end caps and frame plugs. The subframe was shortened too, to match the seat length (unlike the mismatched lengths on the stock bike). (Source: Bikeexif)

Heading into week five, the bike was stripped down for final paint. Jay at Distorted Paint and Restoration in Neerabup laid down a luscious candy teal over the frame and swing arm, while the body parts were treated to a brushed and clear coated finish. (Source: Bikeexif)

Joel at Custom Bike Electrics and Restorations in Willetton had the task of wiring in all aftermarket electrical parts. It included a set of Kellermann turn signals, a Motogadget motoscope mini speedo and SAAS tacho, and new switches. (Source: Bikeexif)

Shane at Graphic Addiction gave the Conti new decals, then the crew spent the rest of that evening prepping the bike for photos. The next day it was dragged into the studio, and the day after that it was off to Lang Park in Woolongong for the Australian Motorcycle Festival. (Source: Bikeexif)
