Zen WLT45: a breathtaking custom bike

This custom motorcycle is the brainchild of Laurent Dutruel from Zen Motorcycles.

It was started with a Harley-Davidson WL 45 cubic engine(built in 1942), a HD Sporster gearbox plus an adapted turbo and of course, the aluminum made frame, fork, fuel tank, handlebars, levers, foot pegs. And “voilà”: one custom motorcycle that is out of this world in terms of design, looks and specs.
