MonkeeFist

Back in 2012 we did our first Yamaha Yard Built rebuilding an XJR1300. With the XJR we were determined to showcase what you could do with the bike, how cool it could look with a café racer style. We really wanted to push the boat out and make something inspirational for XJR fans while keeping the identity of the bike. We therefore decided to leave the tank, engine and major parts of the frame unmodified and modify around that base.

The MonkeeFist has since 2012 been featured i The Ride, visited countless contries, been exhibited in a museum and now it's on display at the Wrenchmonkees Apparel store at Wilders Plads 15C, Copenhagen. Feel free to stop by to have a closer look. We are open every Thursday and Friday from 14-18.
