Robert is a SPA receptionist by trade but he has a deep fascination
for naked bikes and the European street fighter bikes. Once he got
his Rouser 220 he had a lot of ideas he wanted to integrate into his
bike. There were no ready made aftermarket parts and accessories for
the Rouser so he had to make everything custom made and custom machined
based on his drafted out specifications. He really wanted the bike
to look aggressive and he wanted it to be agile. Eventually he pursued
the street fighter naked bike look, the bike is still a work in progress
the custom front fender is still being made and he is already on the
planning stages for the Ducati styled chassi tubing under the tank area.

Robert is open for any inquiries about his bike and its modifications
he is more than happy to share his ideas on how he built his bike to
fellow Rouser enthusiasts. You can contact him at 09165935036, he would
also like to acknowledge Fenrose Bikeshop of Dawis Talisay and Toto
Mati for helping him build his bike.

The original seat design was carved out to give more emphasis on the tank,
this makes the bike much bolder and aggressive looking.

The pro-taper motocross handle bars makes the bike more aggressive looking
and it improves the handling a lot making it much more agile compared to the
stock version. It enables you to perform quick and accurate sudden changes in
direction like a dirt bike.
