Happily, after a 12-month hiatus, the Frenchman has resurfaced to launch a brand new workshop—extreme Pepo. He’s still primarily based in Madrid, however has a greater relaxed approach to commercial enterprise.
In an effort to interrupt far from his past, Pepo has started running on unique platforms. And he’s proved that his ability stretches properly beyond the confines of Ducati. His Triumph speed Triple changed into the start line, however if that unexpected maneuver didn’t stir up some vintage Radical fans, his ultra-modern paintings honestly will.

‘Gabrielle’ is Pepo’s first ever Harley-Davidson build, and it’s a complete departure from his Radical Ducati fashion.
“I want to construct motorcycles using all kinds of engines and types,” Pepo tells us. “I want to expose that I’m no longer without a doubt ‘Mr Radical Ducati.’ I’m also able to ‘XTRemize’ any motorcycle—and what may be farther eliminated from my earlier work than a Harley-Davidson?”
Gabrielle isn’t only a project into a new platform though. In this 2000-version Dyna awesome go with the flow, Pepo has also delivered a sprint of street tracker style.
The build started when a purchaser dropped his Dyna off on the XTR workshop. His best request was that the motorbike need to be capable of carry a passenger, and it ought to have a wide set of handlebars.
Pepo set to work. “I wanted to make a eu-fashion bike with a similar look to a Vincent. I didn’t need to make a typical Harley-Davidson. I’m also very keen on bobbers and dust music bikes—like the XR750—so that they prompted this build as well.”

No XTR Pepo build might be whole with out overall performance tweaks, and Gabrielle isn't any exception. “The engine and braking were optimized, and it’s as mild as feasible—for easy driving on mountain roads.”
To upgrade the Dyna’s front end, Pepo has mounted a fixed of Suzuki GSX-R forks and yokes. The front brakes are a heady mix: Hayabusa 6-piston calipers, custom made 320mm rotors, high overall performance Fren Tubo brake traces, and a GSX-R lever meeting.
The retuned carb breathes freely thru a custom made mesh clear out. It spits out an unashamed v-twin rumble thru custom-made 2-into-1 exhaust headers and a muffler with a removable neighbor-pleasant dB killer. And to make sure all that strength can be accessed with a flick of the wrist, there’s a Gonelli brief-open throttle.
The request for two-up driving intended modifying the rear subframe to aid a changed seat lifted from a Mash 500, a small-volume retro-style motorbike offered in France.
With the rear fender long gone, Pepo fabricated a custom wide variety plate mount to shield the rider from avenue dirt.

To drop some weight, the hefty stock battery has been changed by means of a lithium version; it’s hooked up in a custom field at the back of the race-fashion range plates. Up the front is any other flat-track-style racing wide variety, assisting a custom-made headlight with a yellow lens.
Classic motocross-fashion bars are paired with Gonelli herbal rubber grips. Pepo’s stored them tidy via mounting the speedo and oil stress gauge to the frame, beside the rider’s left thigh. He’s additionally changed the bulky Harley transfer blocks with compact Motogadget units.
To enhance the racing aesthetic, the bulky Dyna fuel tank turned into next to head. In its place, Pepo has positioned a changed Yamaha SR500 tank—with a widened tunnel to sit over the boxy spine. (The lustrous paint is through Artenruta, one of Spain’s top custom motorbike painters.)
The final tweak (and a beneficial weight improvement) comes from swapping the fantastic flow’s solid wheels for spoked rims. They’re now sporting Pirelli’s MT66 route sixty six rubber.
Satisfied with the result, Pepo is now searching at the Harley platform differently. And we might be be seeing extra Harleys from his new assignment.
This Dyna custom may not have the same aggressive racetrack enchantment of the novel Ducati bikes, however we assume Pepo can be directly to some thing. What brand could you want to look him address subsequent?
