Motoraid Bangladesh was looking for the best mods on old school classics. And we have to say, the ones we found sets the bench mark pretty high.

In conversation with the founder and owner of Custom Workshop:

What are the kinds of projects you look for?

Sharfaraj: Every modification is an adventurous journey. I love working with both old school motorcycles.

How much does it cost to do a modification like this?

Sharfaraj: The cost totally depends on the parts used like the fuel tank, seat rims, tires, chassis etc. But for an average size cafe racer project, minimum budget should be 50k just for the modifications.

How long have you been working on motorbikes?

Sharfaraj: I used be in the group Haunt Ryderz where we did stunts. Back then the only options were pulsars and CBZ, so we had to customize those to do our stunts with. After I left the group, I started modifying my own bikes along with the ones belonging to my friends.

Custom Workshop was a dream that came true. I wasn't looking for business when I started, I gathered some friends and came out with some beautiful projects.
