RXZ Twin Boss wins at Yokohama Hot Rod Custom

Proudly flying the Jalur Gemilang in Japan, the RXZ Twin Boss V2 won two awards at the 2024 Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show. Dubbed “Balik Kampung”, the RXZ Twin Boss V2 won the “Cool by Mooneyes” as well as the “Rough Craft Pick” award.

Taking two Yamaha RXX engines displacing 135 cc, builder Irwann Cheng of FNG Works based in Ipoh, Perak, constructed a twin engine monstrosity bearing no resemblance to the original bike. ow displacing 270 cc, Twin Boss was chromed wherever possible, with the swingarm bearing Irwann’s signature “Swiss Cheese” engineering style.

Fitted with two stinger exhaust pipes exiting to the left and right, Twin Boss is a snarling beast that is styled as a “muscle dragster”. The front tyre, sans any sort of braking, is a spoked affair measuring 21-inches in diameter.

The rear wheel, finished with chrome spokes and black rim, stopped by a single RCB calliper and disc brake. Everything is held together in Irwann’s custom-built frame, finished in a shade of metallic bronze. The fuel tank is a minimalist peanut unit, painted black while the seat is similarly minuscule, showing off the Twin Boss’ chrome and metal to maximum effect.
