Yamaha XV950 Playa del Rey by Matt Black Is a Neo-Retro Jewel - Video, Photo ... - autoevolution
The XV950 is a bike with cool looks and that's ready for almost any type of customization. Matt Black Custom Designs have been asked by Yamaha to take part in the Yard Build movement and deliver their own vision on how the XV950 could look. Old-school racers have been the main source of inspiration for the bike that was baptized Playa del Rey. Since customization is XV950's middle name, Matt Black created the aftermarket bits and pieces as a part of a wide range of custom items that can be bolt on to the bike. They came up with a 21" front rim, but also offer the standard-sized one in the same style. A new rear pulley with cush drive system was designed, alongside Lexan see-through cam gear cover, left side crankcase cover and right side generator cover. CNC machines also delivered the small right side cover and front pulley cover while a Crime Scene Choppers air filter cover can now be equipped on the XV950 thanks to a custom adapter. Hand-hammered parts are part of the Plata del Ray game. Matt Black created and crafted the sweet fuel tank, complemented by side panels and fenders. Source: www.autoevolution.com
