▷ Harley-Davidson FXDR Racing owned by Schnulli Fitlifestyle

In the world of motorcycle customization, the artistry lies not only in crafting from scratch but also in creatively reimagining existing models. This truth is exemplified by the remarkable transformation of a Harley-Davidson Softail FXDR, now proudly bearing the signature of Thunderbike, a renowned German custom motorcycle builder. Owned by Schnulli Fitlifestyl e, this Softail FXDR has undergone an astonishing metamorphosis into a sleek racing-inspired machine that demands attention.

The Thunderbike team has masterfully showcased how even a relatively straightforward approach can yield stunning results. The Racing Series aesthetic, characterized by its bold and muscular appearance, was ingeniously achieved using an array of bolt-on components.

The most striking elements of this conversion include a rear fender, seat, and front spoiler – all seamlessly integrated to create a cohesive and aggressive design. Adding to the visual impact is the sporty paintwork by Ingo Kruse, which beautifully accentuates Thunderbike’s conceptual vision.

What makes this project all the more remarkable is the demonstration of Thunderbike’s ethos – that with the right combination of bolt-on parts, one can elevate an already impressive motorcycle to an entirely new level.

The custom modifications are extensive, with key molded components being replaced to achieve the desired look. Both the front and rear fenders, as well as the seat shell, front spoiler, and side covers, underwent meticulous transformation.

Technical innovation is at the heart of Thunderbike’s work, and this Softail FXDR is a testament to that commitment. The handlebars and upside-down fork have been skillfully lowered, enhanced with new bridges and brake caliper adapters to accommodate the striking 23″ wheel from the New Digger Series, complete with 340mm brake discs.

The pièce de résistance lies in Thunderbike’s proprietary single-sided swingarm, which elegantly showcases a 21″ wheel fitted with a discreetly labeled cover on the central locking system.

The bike’s visual impact is further enhanced by Ingo Kruse’s matte lacquer design, which accentuates the bike’s sporty silhouette. Under the hood, the Screamin’ Eagle Stage II Torque Kit reflects Thunderbike’s commitment to optimizing performance without compromising aesthetics.

In this transformation, Thunderbike’s Single-Side Swingarm Kit, Triple Tree GT, Rear Fender GP-Style, Front Fender GT, and a plethora of other components played pivotal roles. The collaboration with Metzeler, the use of a custom exhaust system, and the Screamin’ Eagle Stage II Torque Kit underscore the bike’s holistic enhancement.

Schnulli Fitlifestyle’s Harley-Davidson Softail FXDR, reborn through Thunderbike’s craftsmanship, is a testament to the art of motorcycle customization. This project vividly demonstrates that even a masterpiece can be evolved into something truly exceptional with the right blend of innovation, creativity, and well-designed bolt-on components. As this awe-inspiring machine roars through the streets of Germany, it symbolizes the harmonious marriage of form and function that defines Thunderbike’s legacy in the world of custom motorcycles.
