    Harley Davidson Softail Big Ass by Rick’s motorcycles

    The Harley-Davidson Softail “Big Ass” by Rick’s Motorcycles is an impressive custom build that immediately stands out thanks to its aggressive stance and powerful visual presence.

    This motorcycle combines the raw character of the Softail platform with the precision craftsmanship and premium components that Rick’s Motorcycles is known for. The result is a custom Harley that looks muscular, rides smoothly, and delivers pure attitude on the road.

    One of the key elements of this project is the wheel and tire setup, which defines the iconic “Big Ass” look. The bike is fitted with Rick’s Motorcycles custom wheels measuring 10.5 x 18 inches at the rear and 3.5 x 18 inches at the front.

    These wheels are wrapped in Metzeler Marathon tires, with a massive 280/35 18-inch rear tire and a 130/60 18-inch front tire. This combination creates the wide rear silhouette that gives the bike its name, while still offering stability and comfortable handling.

    Performance and sound play a major role in this custom Softail. The motorcycle is equipped with a Vance & Hines 2-in-2 black exhaust system that not only enhances engine breathing but also produces a deep, powerful exhaust note. The setup is complemented by a Rick’s Motorcycles airbox cover, giving the engine area a clean, seamless look that matches the rest of the custom bodywork.

    Much of the bodywork on this Softail has been redesigned using parts from Rick’s Motorcycles. The custom rear fender is perfectly shaped to follow the wide 280 rear tire, while the front fender maintains a clean and minimal design.

    The gas tank has been reshaped to flow harmoniously with the frame lines, and the solo seat sits low, reinforcing the slammed custom look of the bike. The complete paintwork has also been carried out by Rick’s Motorcycles, ensuring a consistent high-end finish across every component.

    To improve comfort and stance, the bike features a Legend Air shock system that allows the rider to adjust ride height and suspension response. A custom swingarm from Rick’s Motorcycles makes it possible to mount the extra-wide rear tire while maintaining structural rigidity and proper geometry. This combination ensures that the motorcycle performs as well as it looks.

    The details complete the transformation. Components such as the handlebars, risers, headlights, brake discs, license plate holder, and many other parts come directly from Rick’s Motorcycles. Each element has been carefully selected to match the overall design concept, enhancing both the visual impact and the functionality of the motorcycle.

    In conclusion, the Harley-Davidson Softail “Big Ass” by Rick’s Motorcycles is a striking example of high-level custom motorcycle craftsmanship. With its 280 rear tire, premium components, and bold design, it represents the perfect blend of performance, style, and exclusivity. This build is not just a motorcycle; it is a statement on two wheels that turns heads wherever it goes.
