Star Wars-inspired Royal Enfield Meteor 350 leads a tide of custom builds

Heritage bike brand Royal Enfield are aiming to kick off a new wave of custom builds with this brand new, one-off, Star Wars-influenced version of their Meteor 350.

Called ‘The Starship Meteor’ it was commissioned from Dutch customisers Ironwood Motorcycles using a yellow example of MCN’s recently crowned Retro Bike of the Year as the starting point.

Ironwood’s Arjan van den Boom and his team then modified it with blacked out components, a floating bobber seat, hand-upholstered saddle, Akrapovic silencer, special paint job and more.

The result is now set to be shown by Royal Enfield on the show circuit in a bid to encourage owner-customisations of their bikes.

But it’s not just Royal Enfield looking to inspire customisers and US brand Indian has just announced details of its 2022 Indian Riders Fest. 

Set to take place in the Czech Republic next June, it will include a major custom show inviting custom Indians in six different classes. For more details, head to the website now.
