Built using the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 platform, Roland Sands and his team wanted to strip away the bike’s stock cruiser identity and transform it into a high-performance street tracker that looks aggressive but remains perfectly approachable for everyday riders.
They achieved this by leaning heavily into a retro-modern hot rod aesthetic, utilizing a striking gloss black paint scheme highlighted with clean gold pinstriping.
This Custom Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 Is So Darn Cool
Mechanically, the RSD team significantly upgraded the bike’s stance and handling by swapping out the stock wheels for a pair of gold performance wheels wrapped in grippy street tires.
They fabricated a custom tail section that completely redefines the rear end, replacing the standard cruiser seat with a tucked, tracker-style saddle. Up front, the cockpit was overhauled with specialized low-rise handlebars, minimalist controls, and custom-mounted gauges to give the rider a much more connected, aggressive position.
To top it all off, they ditched the bulky factory exhausts for a beautiful, hand-welded stainless steel exhaust system that curves tightly against the parallel-twin engine, shedding weight while unlocking a much rowdier growl.
