Gorilla on Steroids: HONDA GORILLA Custom by Chama works
Chama Works' GORILLA
A GORILLA with two LED headlights, commonly used in models like the ZOOMER, installed one on top of the other. The wide stem is by G-Craft, and the front forks are adapted from the KSR and shortened. The fender is a one-off.
The customization is truly extreme. The rear area is remarkable for its double chain and 8.0 J wheel. The concept of US feel sets it apart from the others.
Bodyworks
The only part that lets you identify the machine as a GORILLA is the fuel tank. The cap is also processed and installed.
The tank is made of FRP and chop-processed. Since custom machines are often viewed from all angles, the pattern is also applied to the bottom plate of the tank.
The painting was done in a simple tent in the yard. Painting outdoors can be quite nerve-wracking, as it is affected by weather and temperature, but the result is stunning.
The seat cowl is SOLID UP's R Spec Seat Cowl TYPE-S ASSY for the Monkey. This is a very popular item for full customization, with a street specification that can accommodate the tail light.
Engine
The engine is 124cc using SP Takegawa's Superhead 4V. The lower half features a dry clutch, but take a look at how well the cover is made and how the punching is done.
On the left is the already machined generator cover made by SP Takegawa. The buffed finish on each part has a wild feel.
The oil cooler is a curved type used in Ducati. However, it is not simply attached as is. There is attention to detail, such as changing the hose outlet to the side.
Intake & Exhaust
The twin ported and triangular shaped silencer is by Blue Flame, normally used for naked bikes. It was shortened and installed.
Chassis
The rear has been fitted with a thick 8.0J wheel. The tire reads '15 x 6-50-8' and has vertical grooves. These tires seem to be used for agricultural equipment or golf carts, but they are said to grip surprisingly well!
The front wheel is 6.0J and the tire is 110/70-8 size. It houses radial-mounted 4-pot calipers.
On the left side of the engine, there is a chain to drive the shaft, and on the right side, there is another chain to drive the relocated sprocket. Consequently, brake-related parts are located on the left side.
