- Bike Shed editor Ross and CameraDan took a day trip out of the arches to go visit Debolex Engineering HQ to get the full low-down on their last 1/1 custom builds before starting their new ‘Series’ projects.
Their take on this Eddie Lawson inspired Kawasaki ZRX1200R certainly didn’t disappoint their beady little eyes (and ears!).
DeBolex Engineering founder Calum talks us through what went into this striking and beautiful build in the usual detail that goes into their creations.
It’s nearly 27mins of fabrication goodness mind you (you’re welcome). So get that kettle on, kick back, geek out and maybe learn a thing or two on what goes into a deBolex build.
let the man finished his sentences my guy. i want to hear the bike builder story. sheesh
It is hard to tell how I love it, he pulled out this moto straightly from 90s anime... Every details of details are perfect, I love it.
They always have the best finishes on their builds.
Really wish he'd let callum talk us through the bike instead of constantly talking over him and dropping in the "in" brand names that are bolted on the bike!
The build is realy nice, clean and purposeful.
Now that's a custom motorcycle, very nice work , very talented people.
Would have liked the headlamp cover flip up like old muscle cars.
Steve Mahon I was thinking the same thing, like a F40 or Mazda MX-5.
Me too.
Or a guillotine kind of...
As the name says that is de bolex the fit & finish is just a class above most, I like the idea of you guys moving into limited run customs it just make scene form a business & customer point of view.
Outstanding video, I really appreciated your taking the time to show the incredible detail below the surface. This shows just how thoughtful Debolex' team really are. Bravo!
Thanks for this video - this bike is awesome - so well built!! deBolex rock!!
What a beautiful creation and finished to the highest standards. The only thing I would want to change is the shade of green to the old racing mean green. Either that or a black and red gpz influenced scheme.
Im typically not a fan of those washed out 60s/70's style greens, but it works very well on this bike. I love everything about the build! Well done!!
That build is absolute perfection, outside and underneath. 🙌
The only thing I see as a problem is the lithium battery getting hot from the end cans.
As a, sadly, ex ZRX1200R owner. All I can say is........ YUK!!!!!
Beautiful bike
Another lovely build, can I have a katana version ?
Daayymmm. I was expecting the headlights to pop up like a Toyota AE86 but daaayymm nice build.
JMO looks like a half finished cafe racer conversion.
I wish this clown would shut his trap long enough to let the actual engineer who built it talk us through it.

Thanks for saving me 20 min.
I hope debolex make their own on this bike
Let’s talk about the camera man. This looks like an episode of csi. Shaky and zooming in and out for no reason
Absolutely sublime.
I wish I was the customer! It's perfect
The attention to detail is unbelievable! I would very much like to know where I can find the fairing bolts.
Kawasaki man here.
I love it.
Owned 3 zx7r over the years.
Would love to see debolex,do Debollox with a zx7.
The De Bolex engineering is unquestionably of a very high standard, but the elephant in the room is the design/shape of the fairing and tank, I know beauty is in the eye etc, I'm not going to spoil anyones weekend by commenting, but????
Stylings not my cupotea but great engineering
It's fantastic!
My brother in Christ let the man speak
not the best looking
The most amazing build I've seen - this is a mindblast - I love it!
Reminds me of the green thunderbirds ship..
2? 😁
@@oxcart4172 Yes! Two of those bikes for me please ;)
Another masterpiece by Callum and Des. I love all the details on this bike.
It's very cool, and the finish is exquisite, but it does looks like a Z1000 swallowed a 1988 CBR600 and had a hiccup half way down whilst pooping out an RG500.
I'm on same meaning : very great finish and very neat work & great job, but the design and military green color are a little bit...strange. Then, everyone has their own tastes ...😉
that is one spectacular job. talk about attention to detail smh it is perfect
The thought into the design and attention to every detail is phenomenal. Properly impressive!
Excellent 🤩
Absolutely perfect, I'll take it
That’s definitely de-bollox, what an amazing bike, I’m well jell now lol . I also love the geeky bits and pieces too.
Still on the fence about the colour, the new Kawasaki candy green would have looked fantastic, but it’s not my bike and the customer loves it. I love how you went about the different shapes and styles in the metal work, the lines are to die for and are perfect looking, i freaking lurve it. Awesome video guys.
Very beautiful bike! I’ve owned a ZRX since 2005 and it’s a great machine.
It's hideous.
Brilliant thanks for the video you have a fantastic eye for symmetry on every thing and mostly British parts especially the suspension and wheels Maxton beautiful 150 percent the best ever de bolox love it
Love my ZRX and this would be tops in the original candy lime green. I’d be into a fairing kit.
Get yourself a ZRX1200-S... Fairing from the factory.
Man , that is a good looking bike
Ross every interview: “So you just kindof smash a bit of aluminum round and get this?”
Turn on English subtitles, "bollocks engineering" lol.
Amazing bike though, 10/10 for detail.
Beautiful bike
It has me at underseat exhaust
Looks like a Kawa take on an ME 900
Love it
I follow them on insta there bikes are gorgeous
Have a 04 ZRX R with 10,000 miles. She still scares me when I give her some gas and those 4 inline carbs kicks in!
She’s still all stock except I painted all black. Engine still has the gold/bronze color. For a 16 year old she’s still beautiful!
Any chance of releasing the front cowl for purchase? That would be a massive upgrade for my ZRX1200S
What a truly beautiful piece of engineering and design. I love this older Japanese bikes, and this takes it another ten levels.
Interviewer; it would have been better if you let the chap finish what he was saying before interrupting. It comes across as a bit rude when you’ve asked him something but don’t let him finish explaining. Good interview. Just that note. 👍
Amazingly beautiful.
Someone could tell the name of the band who made the MUSIC at the beginning of the video ?
Sorry.....but that front fairing and headlight combo.... is just hideous!
Only thing missing is a racing number
Bikes like this just a target for the cars..But with all the crap on the road, I got to say this bike looks and sound HOT..
As a long term ZRX1200R owner that thing looks awful, someone lock their tools away.
So... they'll be making a Royal Enfield 650 deBolex then...
uhhhhh I will steal this color for my bike :D
The way this guy inhales all heavy is really annoying. He builds amazing bikes though.
Nice bike but he didn't really want to start and warm it up...kinda disappointed
nice .. looks like Ducati Imola or Paul smart ... but looks great ..
Not my cup of tea, but i appreciate the insane talent these guys have. I also like Ross's vlogs because he knows what he's looking at, and talking about. Fascinating build, ta.
Reminds me of an old Z but on steroids 👌
A lot of custom builds are shite. This is 110% quality.
THIS GUY HAS GOT TO STOP BREATHING THROUGH HIS TEETH! EVERY FKING INTERVIEW
I think this is the only zrx that I have ever seen that I Don’t love
I'm not ready for that 3 seconds warning
This is sad but that caliper is anti-wirelocked
Cool bike but that color green is awful !
uhmmmm where is the startup? wtf this one sucked
Guys, what have you done with the clutch? I noticed a master cylinder. Have you changed it completely, or have you gone with a conversion kit? thanks
Nice bike..stupid company name
Rubbish ruined a classic 👎🏻🇬🇧
Good quality work here. Like all the details. Not sure if those carbs are happy to suck in some dirt or whatever the rear wheel is going to throw there. How you manage with the heat when the headlight cover is in it's place and the lights are on?
Just incredible. The level of workmanship from these guys is just insane. Absolutely stunning. 👌
Nice bike; she deserves a set of Yosh cams and head work. I don’t care for the look or the colour but the bike is epic
So amazing
My only gripe here is the color. It looks depressing.
The rest of the build is great.👍
You picked it perfectly, like all the parts fabricated on this bike, there is a match for everything. Your observation on the colour sits perfectly under the English skies, depressing.🚿
😍😍😍😍😍
From a Z900RS Cafe owner... this looks great!
MMmmm cannot fault the Qwalitee of the work,awesome,looks........prefer the zrx,but it's not my bike,hint of a vetter Mysteryship/ and a kr500gp tail-ish to me ,but i am an old git.If only my bikes were as clean.
Ducasaki.
I had a 1976? Fiat 128 that was a very similar color to that.
Absoluteley beautiful
One of the best in the business. I’ve built a couple of bikes, this is impressive.
🤘😎
Perfection
That motorcycle is fkn beautiful.
Where are those RE 650
Kawisatana?
Beautiful bike.....
🇧🇻 Thank You!
Очень красивый и стильный мотоцикл.
how much does it cost to order a custom bike like this.
As a geek I prefer listen to the builder
Beautiful
Nope.
That paint job. Beautiful.
the masters of master craftsmanship
G. i joe ram!
Looks like a tractor...I love it!
