Steel Bike Concept, a French workshop specializing in custom motorcycles, has once again showcased its exceptional craftsmanship. Their latest creation, a stunning street tracker based on a Honda VT750S Shadow, is a testament to their ability to transform ordinary bikes into extraordinary works of art.
Starting with a 2010 model, the SBC team stripped the Shadow down to its bare essentials, removing all the factory bodywork, suspension, brakes, and other components. The frame was then extensively modified, with the middle and rear sections rebuilt to achieve a more aggressive tracker geometry.
A custom subframe and swingarm were fabricated to replace the original parts, and the bike’s twin shock absorbers were swapped out for a single adjustable unit from EMC Suspensions. To further enhance the front end, the standard forks were replaced with inverted units from a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, held in place by modified triple clamps from a Z1000.
The braking system was also upgraded with four piston Tokico calipers from a Suzuki GSX-R1000 and floating aftermarket brake rotors. These modifications transformed the once-ordinary cruiser into a sleek and powerful street tracker that is sure to turn heads. The custom-built ER-6N boasts a unique blend of style and performance.
Its forged aluminum wheels, wrapped in Heidenau K 73 rubber, are at home on any terrain. A Motogadget controller with Bluetooth connectivity manages all the electronics, while a digital Motoscope Pro dash provides vital information. The cockpit area also features a new handlebar kit with grey rubber grips, Kellermann bar end turn signals, and a billet aluminum brake fluid reservoir.
Tiny dual-function LEDs mounted beneath a custom made tail section provide rear end illumination. A new saddle, featuring two different types of upholstery and honeycomb pattern stitching, replaces the stock seat. Handmade side covers flank the saddle, with the rearmost parts acting as number plates.
A third number plate surrounds an LED lighting bar at the front, and custom made fork guards protect the lower forks. CNC machined rearsets and a metal plate covering the subframe’s underside enhance the bike’s functionality.
Steel Bike Concept fitted a custom intake with K&N air filtration technology and a two into one exhaust ending in an HP Corse muffler for increased power. The bike’s striking paintwork, featuring blue, polished metal, and black detailing, complements its aggressive stance.
