Royal Blood – ‘King of Custom’ MBE 2026

Summary

Royal Blood is an S&S Knucklehead with a 6-speed Baker transmission and Tech Cycle performance chain drive, in an El Lobo Cycles swingarm frame with stainless steel castings. It runs with a narrow front-end, 21” tyre, and a 16” tyre in the rear. Most parts on this bike (handlebars, grips, risers, triples, legs, axles, hinges, gastank, fender, struts, brakes, etc., etc.) are all made in-house by El Lobo Cycles or by one of their craftsman friends. This bike debuts an innovative inboard brake system, front and rear. The idea was to build a ripper of a bike, that almost looks like a chopped factory bike, until you really start looking.
