5 Royal Enfield motorcycles transformed into Harley Davidson lookalikes [Video]

Royal Enfield and Harley Davidson brands were launched only a few years apart in the early 1900s. Both the brands now have a global presence and have made a cult following around the world. The Royal Enfield brand majorly caters to the buyers looking at affordable bikes, while the Harley-Davidson serves the premium customers. Many Royal Enfield owners put their machines under the knife to make them look like Harley-Davidson bikes. Here are five such Royal Enfield to Harley-Davidson transformations.

Bright Blue

This Royal Enfield to Harley-Davidson job looks inspired by the modified Harley-Davidson bikes. The owner says that it took five months for the transformation and many changes have been done to the bike. It gets a new custom tank and a V-Twin engine cover that gives an impression of a dual-cylinder engine.

It also gets a 1-into-2 exhaust system that adds a more Harley-Davidson effect to the bike. The bike also gets 140mm cross-section front tyre and 200mm rear tyre that add most of the bulk to the custom bike. It also gets disc brakes on both the wheels. The chrome blue colour on the bike makes it look very attractive.

It also gets a bright red paint job that highlights it even in a sea of vehicles. The bike also gets alloy wheels with tubeless tyres and disc brakes on both the wheels.
