Vlado Dinga and Ales Tomis, the duo behind Earth Motorcycles, have once again proven their mastery of motorcycle customization with their latest creation, the Bakula. Based on a 1991 Honda NX650, this bike is a testament to their dedication to pushing the boundaries of design and craftsmanship.
Starting with a complete teardown, the Earth Motorcycles team stripped away every piece of stock bodywork and several other components. In their place, they constructed a custom subframe that integrates a pair of sleek LED taillights and turn signals from Highsider. A handmade leather saddle and a custom-built fuel tank complete the bike’s striking appearance.
Beyond the visual appeal, the Bakula is also a testament to the duo’s attention to detail. The bike’s clean lines and minimalist aesthetic are complemented by a number of subtle design touches, such as the integrated handlebars and the custom-machined engine covers. The result is a motorcycle that is both visually stunning and mechanically refined.
With the Bakula, Vlado Dinga and Ales Tomis have once again demonstrated their ability to transform a humble stock motorcycle into a truly extraordinary machine. Their dedication to their craft is evident in every detail of the bike, and it is clear that they are passionate about creating motorcycles that are both functional and beautiful.
The Dominator, a classic motorcycle, has undergone a comprehensive transformation at Earth Motorcycles. The cockpit has been modernized with Daytona instrumentation, Motone switches, Domino grips, and revamped control levers, all illuminated by a small LED headlight.
Highsider blinkers and an aftermarket handlebar add to the custom look. The bike now rides on 19-inch wheels with chromed stainless-steel spokes and Mitas E-07 rubber, and the brakes have been upgraded with fresh rotors, pads, and Venhill hoses.
While the factory suspension has been retained and lowered, the Dominator’s single-cylinder engine has received a thorough rebuild with new internals, a refurbished carburetor, and a DNA pod filter. The exhaust system features ceramic-coated headers and a stainless-steel muffler. Modern electronics, including a LiFePo4 battery and a Bluetooth-enabled Motogadget controller, complete the transformation.
The bike’s clean white tank with Earth Motorcycles logos contrasts beautifully with the black powder-coated frame, wheels, and swingarm. The Dominator’s transformation is more than just cosmetic.
The upgraded components not only enhance the bike’s appearance but also improve its performance and handling. The new wheels and tires provide better grip and traction, while the upgraded brakes offer enhanced stopping power.
The engine rebuild ensures that the Dominator runs smoothly and efficiently. Modern electronics add a touch of convenience and sophistication. The Dominator’s transformation is a testament to Earth Motorcycles’ expertise and passion for custom motorcycles. The bike is now a unique and stylish machine that is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.
