Rajputana Customs have created quite the CV for themselves with some really neat custom-builds based on Royal Enfields, Harley-Davidsons and now the latest one on a KTM 390 Duke. The 43 hp streetfighter is incredibly popular in India mostly because barely anything else offers over 40 hp at its price range. This project being a private commission, had Rajputana build a cafe racer based on the KTM and make it look less like one. (Source: Bikeexif)

“The design started as a wireframe model using welding wires, and when the design and proportions were finalised, we made the new subframe using mild steel pipe,” founder Vijay Singh. “We didn’t use the stock mounting points—instead, we used a CNC machine to make new ones.” (Source: Bikeexif)

The metallic paint is low-key and subtle, with hints of gold elsewhere on hard parts. The team got rid of the 17-inch alloys in favour of spoke rims from a Bonneville. The tyres are Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SC slicks, 140 section at the front and 190 at the back, which get up to temperature fast in the hot climate. (Source: Bikeexif)

The excellent stock brake rotors and calipers remain, but Rajputana have added their own clip-ons, and upgraded the master cylinder to a Brembo radial unit. Rajputana have delivered one of those tricky ‘best of both worlds’ bikes: a complete restyle that doesn’t compromise the dynamic qualities of the original. We've never seen spoke wheels on a Duke and it certainly adds a lot to its character. (Source: Bikeexif)
