When it comes to the world’s raddest modified rides, the moto magicians over at Unikat Motorworks mean business. The reputed workshop is based in Wroclaw, Poland and its ambitious mastermind goes by the name of Grzegorz Korczak. Over the years, his talented crew never ceased to amaze the two-wheeler realm with their surreal works of mechanical art.

As you navigate through Unikat's portfolio, you’ll run into several drool-worthy pieces of machinery that’ll have just about any rider lost for words, such as a unique Moto Guzzi V7, an otherworldly KTM Duke 640 and one handsome Kawasaki ZR550. In the past, we’ve also explored their accomplishments on an ominous BMW K1100LT, which houses a Superduke’s fierce headlight unit.

One thing’s for sure, each and every one of these bad boys does a spectacular job at looking the business! To be frank, it goes without saying their outstanding ventures managed to capture the custom scene’s full attention. The firm’s remarkable creations earned them a reputation as a force to be reckoned with, ultimately leading to an array of tasty collaborations.

For instance, their magnificent Triumph T100 body kit is one such exploit. The manufacturer’s Polish branch teamed up with Unikat to develop a stunning visual enhancement package that’ll leave you wanting for nothing. To give you a clear demonstration of these folks’ superior level of craftmanship and sheer dedication, we’ll be taking a minute to examine this delicious undertaking a little closer.

Let me tell you, the stock T100 is definitely no toy. It is brought to life by a menacing four-stroke SOHC parallel-twin powerplant, with four valves per cylinder head and a respectable compression ratio of 10.5:1. The liquid-cooled leviathan prides itself with a two-into-two stainless-steel exhaust system and a colossal displacement of 900cc. At approximately 5,900 rpm, this nasty animal is capable of generating up to 55 hp, along with 59 pound-feet (80 Nm) of fierce torque output at 3,200 revs. Power travels to a chain final drive via a five-speed gearbox.

Up front, suspension duties are handled by 41 mm (1.61 inches) KYB forks, joined by fully-adjustable dual shocks on the opposite end. Braking power is supplied by a 310 mm (12.2 inches) floating rotor and a Nissin two-piston caliper at the front, coupled with a single 255 mm (10 inches) disc and a two-piston floating caliper at the rear.

Now, Unikat’s staggering kit hosts a blend of hand-crafted components and aftermarket modules, including clip-on handlebars, a new front fender and a neat subframe that supports T100’s majestic leather saddle.

Furthermore, you will find a Monza-style flip-up filler cap, LED turn signals and 18-inch Takasago Excel wheels, hugged by Bridgestone tires. The team went as far as installing chromed reverse megaphone mufflers and tweaking the bike’s triple clamp to match the desired aesthetic.

Lastly, their customers are given the option to have this machine’s fuel tank and side panels finished in a color that'll suit their individual preferences. In this fashion, each of these creatures will stand out as a genuine one-off entity.

If you’re digging this masterpiece as much as I am, then you may want to consider paying Unikat a visit on their Instagram and Facebook profiles. Oh, and while you’re at it, show them some damn love for their praise-worthy efforts, will you?
