Gasoline Motor Company, based in Sydney Australia offers custom motorcycles built with originality and precision. On this build, we worked closely with the customer to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that meets their needs and expectations.

A motorcycle built for a modern adventurer who is based in Melbourne, made his way over to the Sydney custom workshop to discuss his dream Dominator roadster. The donor or should we say donor’S, Yes there were 2 x NX650’s purchased from some hillbilly on a farm in Albury Wodonga and out of the two machines, we created one custom roadster using all of the good clean parts and one bush basher for some off road adventurers utilising what we had left over so that he could smash it out through the countryside, dirt roads and beyond.

The engine was up for a full re-build, no matter which way you tackle the upgrade. So Gasoline cracked on with a complete revamp and It now runs fresh oversize piston & rings, valves, a new timing chain and bearings, an upgraded clutch, every internal engine component was reconditioned or replaced, new rod, all new valve train, every bearing, seal & gasket. Gasoline Vapour blasted all engine cases, covers, cylinder & head. Painted outer engine covers, cylinder head & valve cover. Skimmed back cooling fins & RFVC for contrast.

Electrical and a custom build wiring harness, Once you start to incorporate the Moto Gadget M .Unit blue, its best to start from scratch and create a completely brand new and innovative wiring harness, these harnesses are one off and are equipped to handle all of the latest electrical technology components and elegant small fittings to really keep the minimalism alive during the design process. Motogadget switch gear & dash. Kellermann Lighting Package, Flush mount Kellermann tail light, LED Moto Headlight w custom mounts.

The Domy is a unique combination of art and function. . Additional performance was a deal breaker for the customer so we opted to incorporate some high performance flat slide FCS carburettors with new custom DNA filters. An Early R6 front suspension - Cognito Moto laced wheel conversion w twin disc, custom offset triple clamps & steering stem, Yamaha R6 ceracoated brake callipers & hand controls, Custom mounted CG125 fuel tank, flush fuel cap modification.
