Walz transformed the rear end of the XV950 with a modified swing arm and a custom rear sub-frame. Mini LED rear lights integrate into the frame. A custom fuel tank was added along with a custom headlamp cowling and tail unit topped with a hand stitched leather seat. The ride gets a full work over with the stock front-end suspension unit modified and lowered with prototype progressive springs whilst the rear gets fully adjustable Öhlins shocks. Hand-cast magnesium wheels by Marvic are fitted with custom adapters made in house. Custom rear sets change the ride dynamic giving a sportier sitting position. The café racer look continues with LSL clip-on bars holding a quick throttle system, custom switchgear, LSL master cylinder and LSL adjustable clutch and brake levers all topped off with custom bar-ends. Sitting in the middle of the action is a Moto Gadget ‘Tiny’ tachometer.
