Resident Deus Camperdown head mechanic Jeremy Tagand is becoming quite well known for his tracker rendition of the Kawasaki W650. With the Midnight Rambler, the brief was to create a dirt-tracker with an urban assault feel, all with Jeremy’s special sauce. A rich blend of ingredients work together to offer a once street-based rig the ability to head to the bush. From raised adjustable suspension to a low maintenance engine, frame and swingarm with a ceramic-coated exhaust system.

Up front is a Bates style headlight, Tomaselli motorcross bars (for that old-school feel!), and Velona digital speedo/tacho, joined by hand-rolled alloy front and rear fenders, as well as a neatly recessed custom LED taillight.

The airbox has been removed, the re-jetted carbs now breathing through twin K&N filters. Exhaust gasses erupt through custom two-into-one headers, which are ended with a gorgeous reverse cone stainless Steel muffler, all black ceramic coated.

The motor has been stripped and painted in high-temperature black, with the fuel tank and side covers flavoured with a custom color scheme – Midnight Blue hiding a very subtle charoal Deus logo on the tank.

Custom length rear shock and a progressive front unit, both by ICON, are accompanied by revised fork internals and adjustment for pre-load, while the braided brake line offers assurance when reining in the extra grunt of the dyno-tuned engine.

The wheel set – including the hub, spoke and rim – is finished off in black powdercoat, and wrapped in Metzeler Karoo 3 tyres.

A factory Kawasaki W800 seat offers comfort for both rider and pillion.
