“The 2015 XJR1300 has been influenced by recent custom builds and is designed to be easily customizable,” he continues. ‘This new build reinforces this philosophy showing that you can create truly unique motorcycles with the XJR as a base with no major alterations to the frame, opening up many possibilities and inspiring owners that don't necessarily have the skill for a full custom build to personalise their own machines.”
Winston’s custom building process is unique, having designed the bike virtually, he then works with a select number of artisan craftsmen to hand make every custom part and finish for the build. Making use of traditional metal workshops, painters, anodizers and fabricators on the streets of Taipei, the final result truly reflects the Rough Crafts ideal, ‘Handmade in Taiwan’.
