Eimor Customs is back with another motorcycle that
converts a standard Royal Enfield into an appealing package. This time, the
folks at Eimor took a Royal Enfield Desert Storm 500 and gave it an elegant, yet
a rugged look. The motorcycle, christened 'Europa,' sheds the stock panels for
custom-built units.
The fascia retains a round headlight design although
the stock blinkers have been traded for compact, aftermarket units. The
redesigned front fender gets retro-style mounting points and a black finish
with golden and blue coloured stripes. Both, the front and the rear feature
wider section tyres that add a muscular look to the package.
An aftermarket, twin-pod instrument console follows
the fascia and gives the cockpit a refreshed look. The larger dial on the
console displays the speed and odometer along with telltale lights while the
smaller pod is occupied by fuel gauge. Steering duties are performed by an
aftermarket handlebar that offers more upright ergonomics. The handlebar grips
come in the tan-leather coloured finish while the bar-end weights feature
integrated lights and a glowing Royal Enfield logo. Another addition to the
handlebar is the extra switch that controls the crash guard mounted LED auxiliary
lights.
Following the cockpit is a custom fuel tank that
features a chrome filler cap on top and Royal Enfield printed on the sides. The
asymmetrically mounted fuel filler cap adds a refreshing look to the package.
The custom-made saddle gets a tan leather finish with a diamond stitch pattern
that gives the Europa a neo-classic look. Do note that unlike the stock
motorcycle, the seat on the Europa is a single-piece unit that sits on a
redesigned sub-frame. The area under the saddle gets a mesh design.
Similar to the front, the rear fender gets a black
finish with gold and blue coloured stripes. The fender at the back also mounts
an aftermarket tail light and blinkers. The side panels and battery cover get a
black finish with highlights of gold colour. The golden coloured finish is also
visible on the engine cover. Lastly, the motorcycle comes with an aftermarket
exhaust that should offer enhanced sound to the thumper.
The stock covers for the front forks have been
replaced by gaiters that add a rugged look to the motorcycle. The hardware
specs remain identical to the stock motorcycle. Conventional telescopic forks
at the front and twin-sided springs at the rear perform shock absorption
duties. Stopping power comes from a disc brake at the front and a drum unit at
the back.
