Rajputana Custom Cycles’ Harley-Davidson Street 750 “Makku” trades the factory cruiser’s urban proportions for a stripped-back custom silhouette. Its visual identity comes from the combination of a compact solo seat, oversized tires, gold-finished upside-down forks and a simple round headlamp, while the familiar 750 V-twin remains fully exposed.

A shorter, sharper profile

The biggest change is behind the fuel tank. The original rear seating arrangement has been removed and replaced with a single, slim saddle that flows into a sharply pointed tail section. Beneath it, a dark mesh side panel carries the “750” mark, giving the otherwise open frame area a deliberate visual finish rather than leaving the battery housing exposed.

That tail treatment also changes the way the Street 750 reads from the side. The bike now has a strong horizontal line from the tank to the rear cowl, with the large rear tire filling the space below. It looks compact without relying on extensive frame surgery.

Minimal bodywork, deliberate details

The stock fuel tank has been retained, but its new matte-black finish gives it a more purposeful presence. A narrow light-colored stripe cuts diagonally across the tank and carries the Harley-Davidson logo, adding just enough contrast to prevent the dark finish from becoming visually flat.

At the front, the original lighting arrangement has given way to a standalone round headlamp. Its straightforward shape suits the bike’s café-racer influence, while the gold fork tubes provide the clearest flash of color on an otherwise monochrome motorcycle. The fork treatment and spoked wheels also contrast nicely with the blacked-out engine, exhaust and frame.

Chunky tires set the stance

The broad, block-pattern tires are among Makku’s most distinctive choices. They give both ends of the motorcycle a substantial footprint and make the narrow seat and abbreviated tail appear even more compact. The spoked rims preserve a traditional custom-bike touch, but the tire proportions push the design toward a tougher, more contemporary interpretation of a brat-style machine.

Rajputana described the build as a “bratty cafe racer with a minimalist aesthetic approach.” The description fits the finished visual recipe: limited bodywork, a single seat, a round lamp and uncluttered surfaces, balanced by the visual weight of the tires and exposed V-twin.

A restrained Street 750 transformation

According to the supplied project description, builder Vijay Singh said the frame received minimal structural changes and that most of the work involved bolt-on components. That approach is evident in the result. Makku does not attempt to disguise its Street 750 foundation; instead, it reorganizes the surrounding details so the engine, tank and chassis become parts of a cleaner, more focused composition.
