So this Coleman is now sporting new Biltwell handlebars and grips, with a second set repurposed on the bar bends for reasons unknown. Westy’s approach was simple, yet highly effective: throw a bunch of rad parts at it. So they handed their Coleman over to their “resident R&D nerd,” Westy, to prep for the festivities. When Biltwell got the invitation to throw down on mini bikes, they were instantly keen. “Personally, we think it adds to its charm.” īiltwell Inc. “It’s still covered in some beer from when someone took a keg and sprayed it all over the riders,” the guys tell us. Other bits include aftermarket Grom wheels, EBC rotors, Magura controls, a Vortex sprocket and a Regina chain.Īs for the paint job, that’s straight out of a rattle can. The front end’s off a Ducati Monster (yes, really), and there’s now an actual swing arm out back, hooked up to a Nitron Racing piggyback shock. The seat’s actually the stock Coleman unit, flipped front to back and re-upholstered by Range Needle Work. Half Jack’s tank and fairings look so right, because they’re real aftermarket Katana parts. ICON 1000 Remember ICON 1000’s mental Suzuki Katana build, New Jack? Well, thanks to “a mixture of fan art inspiration and a vodka drink named the Ryobi,” the crew decided to build a tribute: Half Jack. Here’s how five of those six bikes turned out… Icon took one BT200X for themselves, then handed out the rest to Biltwell Inc, S&S Cycle, Performance Machine, The Speed Merchant and LA Choppers.Įach shop was under strict instructions to do whatever the heck they wanted, without removing anything from the frame or motor. They’re powered by a 196cc four-stroke single, weigh less than 140 pounds, and are good for a top speed of 20 mph. They decided to rally their friends in the biz, and organize a no-holds-barred custom challenge…with Coleman BT200X mini bikes.Īrizona-based Coleman jumped on board with six BT200Xs: tiny air-cooled mini bikes that normally cost $799. So when Icon decided to spice up the annual dealer show of parent company Parts Unlimited, things got real weird, real quick. The riding gear they produce is wild, but the bikes they build in their Portland workshop are even wilder. Our friends at Icon Motosports have a few screws loose-and we mean that as a compliment.
