Ellaspede Yamaha Xt660

Ellaspede create custom motorcycles, apparel and accessories from their base at West End in Brisbane, Australia. The latest creation to roll out of their workshop is this adventure-ready Yamaha XT660R, a build that can be used as a daily city commuter, but capable of crossing swathes of bush at the weekend. The end result is an aggressive, faceted aesthetic with a bold color-scheme, the custom bodywork includes a custom aluminum fuel tank, side panels, radiator shroud, headlight shrouds, belly pan bash plate, rear side panels, license plate mount and swing-arm panels. It was also fitted with off-road luggage, side fuel and water tanks, and a USB power socket for charging a phone and sat/nav equipment when the rider´s far out and about.
