Yamaha XSR900 'Alter' Yard Built by Dab Motors

Yamaha unveiled at the 2018 Wheels & Waves show, its latest, one-off ‘Yard Built’ custom project - a heavily modded XSR900 named the "Alter" built by French builder Simon Dabadie of Dab Motors’ based in Biarritz, south-western France.

Here is a brief overview of the build taken from yamahamotorsports.com :

Dab Motors felt an affinity with the XSR900 from the get go with its mix of modern and retro design, and innovative lines. They knew the lightweight body, packed with character, and sporty engine would be more than a match for his futuristic concept. From the very moment that Dab Motors got his hands on the Sports Heritage machine, a powerhouse of customisation, he put his knowledge of technology into high gear. Using 3D modelling, and advanced rendering techniques, he designed a customised bike in an almost entirely digital world. With data built from his modelling techniques and schematics created in a virtual work space, he set the robots to work on forging his mechanical marvel.

Putting to life his designs by using manufacturing machines, he produced high quality, ultra-durable, 3D printed aluminium sub chassis, upper triple tree, risers, and headlight holders. The exhaust is a collaborative creation by Dab Motors and a trusted partner. There’s brand new handlebars, grips, brake reservoirs and mirrors. The bike features ultra-light, sustainable flax fibre body work fresh out of the lab. Even the lighting system is pushing the boundaries, with a smart LED array controlled by an Arduino micro controller board. All of this is wrapped around the finest quality brakes, suspensions from industry giant Öhlins (STX 46 shock absorber and NIX 30 cartridge kit) and other parts making this a high-performance message sent back in time from the 22^nd Century.
