EIMOR Customs turned it into this mighty Neelkantha. Symbolizing
power and attitude in its own way, Neelkantha has undergone a complete
transformation from a street specific design to a perfectly balanced cruiser.
The modification is so intense that guessing the
bike is not possible without looking having a loot at its engine. The front
section now comes with retro round headlight without any Royal Enfield specific
cover for both suspension and light. This results in an impressive first look
with a full sized front fender. Wide tyre with thick tread and chrome finish
alloy wheels completes this section.
The fuel tank is designed in such a way that overall
stance of the bike gets lowered through its flowing design. It merges properly
into the cruiser specific split seat that ends into a backrest. Rear fender is
also custom designed and hosts a wide tyre.
The stock exhaust was replaced with this chrome dual
exit unit with black heat insulation tape on the first half. Handlebar used
here is sourced from Thunderbird 350 while side panels are also custom designed
for perfect placement. A rear disc brake as added for better braking while a
change in wheelbase was avoided on Neelkantha.
The Metallic Blue shade is further complemented by
stone engraving inspired Lord Shiva’s picture on the fuel tank. One can also
spot owner’s name being painted on one of the fender. Royal Enfield Classic
Desert Storm comes with a 499cc, single cylinder engine producing 27.2 BHP at
5250 rpm and 41.4 Nm at 4000 rpm.
The engine comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Not
even a single element from Desert Storm can be guessed on Neelkantha as overall
stance of the motorcycle was enhanced for a premium cruiser feel.
