This Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Gets Wild Custom Paint Job

Wondered what a Royal Enfield Meteor 350 would look in highly-customised form? Well, here’s your answer as Indian company Neev Motorcycles has custom-made a beautiful gold and bronze example of the small-capacity classic cruiser, albeit now it’s in a bobber theme.

Royal Enfield bikes have long been used for custom builds, and you can’t blame people for choosing the Indian brand for projects such as this one. Their old school looks, coupled with small- and mid-capacity bikes (read: bikes that are affordable) offer unlimited potential.

The fuel tank’s shape is the same as the standard Meteor 350’s, but it is finished in a gold custom logo and gold pinstriping. The bike’s mainframe, subframe and engine compartment are also untouched from the standard bike, so it’s really in the finer details where this thing forms its identity. 

A custom belly pan, for example, along with front and rear fenders, beefy front fork covers, new handlebars, and a fully custom windshield that is so small it begs the question: is it actually doing anything?

It also appears as though the circular LED headlight is an aftermarket item, along with the alloy wheels. These wheels are housed by tubeless type tyres in block pattern treads often found on scramblers.

Thanks to its many colour options, the Meteor 350 is an appealing bike even as standard. But this bobber-inspired build takes the crown.

As with the chassis, the engine of this custom is untouched, meaning it has the same air-cooled 349cc single-cylinder engine of the standard bike. Royal Enfield claims peak power outputs of 20.2bhp at 6,100 rpm, and 19.9Ib ft of torque at 4,000 rpm.
