Old Stallion: A Fusion of Heritage and Performance
“Old Stallion,” a transformation of the 2008 Honda Unicorn, emerged from a detailed 4-month endeavor by our team, aiming to intertwine the essence of classic motorcycle design with the advancements of modern engineering. Our mission was to breathe new life into the Honda Unicorn, enhancing its legacy with contemporary flair.
Vintage Custom-Made Multi-Spoke Rims: At the forefront of Old Stallion’s distinctive features are the vintage custom-made multi-spoke rims. These rims, reminiscent of classic motorcycles, were carefully crafted to add a layer of nostalgia while maintaining the bike’s original balance and handling characteristics.
Two Brothers Carbon Fiber Exhaust System: A pivotal upgrade to Old Stallion is the Two Brothers carbon fiber exhaust system. Chosen for its blend of aesthetic appeal and performance enhancement, this system not only elevates the bike’s visual profile but also enriches the riding experience with a fuller, more resonant exhaust note.
Striking Green Paint with Black and Chrome Contrasts: Old Stallion’s appearance is defined by its striking green paint job, set off with black and chrome contrasts. This color scheme was meticulously selected to evoke a sense of timeless elegance, giving the bike a distinctive presence on the road.
Classic Round Front Headlamp and Custom Instrumentation: Reflecting on the golden era of motorcycling, the vintage round-shaped front headlamp adds a classic touch to Old Stallion’s modernized aesthetics. The bike’s uniqueness is further enhanced by a customized odometer and fuel gauge, offering both functionality and style.
Performance Enhancements: The installation of a K&N free-flow air filter marks a significant improvement in Old Stallion’s performance, ensuring better efficiency and pickup. This upgrade reflects our commitment to enhancing the bike’s capabilities without compromising its classic appeal.
Practical and Comfort Modifications: Practicality meets style with the addition of a custom-made heavy-duty battery box, ensuring durability. The custom single seat, designed with long-distance comfort in mind, invites riders to embark on extended journeys, supported by an increased 14-litre fuel tank capacity for longer rides.
Enhanced Rear Suspension: The rear setup features upgraded mono shocks, selected not just for their aesthetic contribution but for their role in providing a smoother and more comfortable ride. This enhancement underscores our holistic approach to customization, balancing looks with functionality.
Riding the Old Stallion reveals a motorcycle that honors its heritage while delivering a modern riding experience. This transformation of the Honda Unicorn into the Old Stallion stands as a tribute to classic styling, infused with the advancements of today’s performance features, making it a truly unique and enduring ride.
The rest of the journey through to Lagos was cool. Lucky for us traffic was light and we made very good time. We ended the journey at the Cauldron in Alausa with thanks to the Almighty for journey mercies
