This customized Harley-Davidson Softail Fat Boy takes the iconic silhouette of the Fat Boy and transforms it into a radical big-wheel muscle cruiser.

Built with an extensive catalog of Thunderbike parts, it combines bold stance, premium craftsmanship and modern performance upgrades that completely change the character of the motorcycle while keeping its unmistakable Harley DNA.

The transformation is immediately visible thanks to the Thunderbike Big Speed wheels. The setup features a 23-inch front wheel paired with a 21-inch single-sided rear wheel, wrapped in Metzeler Cruisetec 260/35VR21 and Metzeler ME888 130/60B23 tires. The Thunderbike single-side swingarm kit not only exposes the wheel visually, but also gives the Fat Boy a clean, show-bike rear profile. Braking performance is enhanced with a Thunderbike Big Speed 340 mm brake disc, pulley, heavy-duty 1-inch belt, and caliper adapter.

The bike sits lower and more aggressive thanks to a Thunderbike fork lowering kit and Air Ride suspension system. This allows the rider to switch between slammed show-stance and comfortable riding height at the press of a button. Custom steel fenders — a 23-inch front fender and 260 mm rear fender — perfectly contour the oversized wheels and tires, creating a seamless flowing line from front to back.

The cockpit and riding position were upgraded with the Thunderbike Hollywood Light handlebar mounted on an Old Style riser kit, along with Motogadget mo.view Club mirrors. Thunderbike grips, LED stripe turn signals with load equalizer, and multiple axle and swingarm covers complete the detailed finishing touches.

Visual highlights continue across the bodywork with the Thunderbike chin fairing GP Style Long, oval Torque airbox cover, derby and timer covers, ignition coil relocation kit, and tank-to-seat cover. A custom Thunderbike seat base and foam finish off the rear section, giving the Fat Boy a sleek profile while maintaining comfort.

Every element of this build works together to create a high-impact custom Softail Fat Boy that blends big-wheel style, premium Thunderbike engineering, and modern performance parts. The result is a motorcycle built to turn heads whether parked at a show or rolling down the highway — a statement piece in the world of Harley-Davidson custom bikes.

The Harley-Davidson Softail Dragster “Silverstone” by Thunderbike is a stunning example of how far custom craftsmanship can go when performance styling meets premium components.

Inspired by racing aesthetics and muscular dragster lines, this Softail build combines aggressive stance, high-end engineering, and a clean silver finish that fully lives up to its Silverstone name. It is not just a customized Harley – it is a statement of style and precision.

Race-inspired design with Grand Prix DNA

The first thing that stands out on the Silverstone Dragster is the Thunderbike GP-Style bodywork. The Front Fender Thunderbike GP-Style and Rear Fender Thunderbike GP-Style 260mm stretch the lines of the bike, emphasizing the massive rear wheel and low-slung silhouette.

The Chin Fairing Thunderbike GP-Style and Fuel Tank Thunderbike Custom GP-Style continue this flowing Grand Prix look, creating a cohesive racing-inspired design from front to back.

To match the sleek body parts, Thunderbike added the Headlamp Cap Thunderbike, enhancing the compact and aggressive front end. The result is a motorcycle with strong track DNA but unmistakable Harley-Davidson character.

Premium controls and cockpit details

Riding position and control components play a big part in the Dragster look. The Silverstone features the Thunderbike Clip-On Grand Prix bicolor handlebar, which places the rider in an aggressive, forward stance.

This is complemented by the Grip Set Thunderbike Base Satin and Toppers Thunderbike Base, adding subtle visual refinement.

For ultimate control, the bike is equipped with Levers Rebuffini hydraulic set with switch, offering precision feel and premium machining quality. Completing the ergonomics setup are the Forward Controls Thunderbike V-Tech, giving the Silverstone the stretched drag-style riding posture.

Custom intake, airbox, and engine accents

Thunderbike continued the Grand Prix theme into the engine area. A Thunderbike Airbox Baseplate works together with the Thunderbike Air Cleaner Airbox Kit and the stylish Airbox Cover Thunderbike Grand Prix. This combination not only enhances performance but also keeps the visual language consistent throughout the build.

The details matter – which is why parts like the Derby Cover Thunderbike Drilled and Ignition Cover Thunderbike New Custom were chosen. These touches reinforce the custom character and highlight the engine as the true heart of the Silverstone Dragster.

Single-sided swingarm and performance braking

One of the most eye-catching elements of the Silverstone build is the Thunderbike Single-Side Swingarm Kit 21”. This conversion exposes the custom rear wheel completely on one side, giving the bike a premium custom-show look while emphasizing the wide rear tire.

Braking performance is handled by a Brembo Radial Monoblock M4 brake caliper. This component comes directly from the high-performance motorcycle world and fits perfectly with the racing-inspired concept of the build.

Suspension, front end, and chassis components

To control power and improve handling, Thunderbike installed the Front End Thunderbike Radial Kit Grand Prix. This works together with the Triple Tree Thunderbike Grand Prix bicolor, providing stiffness, precision steering, and a distinctive visual signature.

The Seat Plate Thunderbike flows neatly into the rear section, completing the dynamic line of the dragster profile. Thunderbike’s design ensures that every component appears intentional and integrated, not simply added on.

Lighting and visual finishing touches

Attention to detail continues with carefully selected lighting elements such as Thunderbike Front Turn Signals and Thunderbike License Plate Lighting, keeping the rear minimalist and clean while remaining street-ready.

The exhaust note plays a major role in the overall experience, and the Thunderbike Exhaust delivers the deep sound and visual presence expected from a custom Harley-Davidson dragster. Custom Thunderbike Wheels complete the look, adding motion even when the bike is standing still.

A complete custom concept

The Harley-Davidson Softail Dragster “Silverstone” by Thunderbike is not just a list of aftermarket parts – it is a coherent concept motorcycle. Every modification supports the central idea: a drag-inspired, Grand Prix-styled Softail that blends elegance with aggression.

The Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special is already one of the most aggressive models in the V-Rod family, but the Night Rod Special “Carbon Fiber” by Fiber Bull takes it to a new level.

This custom build mixes bold design, premium materials and precise craftsmanship. Carbon fiber parts, a massive 330 rear tire and many handmade components create a motorcycle that instantly attracts attention and looks fast even when standing still.

Carbon fiber plays a key role in this project. It reduces weight and adds a modern, high-performance look, while keeping the iconic Night Rod silhouette. Every part shows careful craftsmanship, reflecting Fiber Bull’s focus on quality custom motorcycles and clean design.

The front end has been redesigned to improve comfort, control and style. It features a handcrafted handlebar with a special diameter that offers a more aggressive riding position.

The Thunderbike RS-O is a great example of how precise German engineering meets bold custom motorcycle design.

It is built on the Thunderbike RS Racing Series Dragster frame and has a very low, aggressive stance that immediately suggests speed and power. Every detail of the motorcycle is carefully designed, and the result is a custom Harley-style drag bike that looks fast even when it is standing still.

Thunderbike is based in Hamminkeln on the Lower Rhine and is one of the best-known custom bike builders in Europe. Their fame grew after they won the AMD European Championship of Custom Bike Building in 2006 with the “Spectacular,” and again in 2008 with “Open Mind.” Even though these bikes were showpieces, Thunderbike follows one clear rule: every motorcycle that leaves the workshop must be rideable. As an official Harley-Davidson dealer and parts manufacturer, they build most components themselves, making them one of the few builders who can truly create motorcycles starting from the frame.

The Thunderbike RS-O is a complete construction based on the RS Racing Series, which is an evolution of the Dragster frame. The goal was simple: create a sporty, flat and powerful line. To achieve this, the frame uses large-diameter tubes for strength, curved 45 mm downtubes, a strong 70 mm steering head with an internal stop, and newly shaped side sections. The result is a compact and muscular motorcycle with a crouched look that seems ready to launch forward.

The RS-O is powered by a Screamin’ Eagle 103 CUI Twin-Cam engine. This engine gives the bike strong acceleration and the classic Harley-Davidson character that riders love. It uses original Harley injection electronics, so it also meets modern exhaust emission standards. Apart from the drivetrain, almost everything else on the motorcycle is made by Thunderbike themselves. Parts are designed, machined, welded and finished directly in their workshop.

The chassis underlines the performance character of the bike. At the front, a TB-RS upside-down fork with 4 degrees of rake gives the motorcycle a compact appearance and precise handling. Thunderbike also produces the handlebars, grips and front fender. A 130 Metzeler tire sits on a TB Vegas Cut 4.5×18″ wheel, and braking is handled by an ABM radial caliper together with a 300 mm TB-Spoke brake disc.

At the rear, a Tricky Air Ride suspension allows the rider to adjust the height and comfort. The single-sided TB RS swingarm holds a massive 10×18″ TB Vegas Cut rim with a wide 280 Metzeler tire. Rear braking is provided by a Nissin six-piston caliper working on a perimeter wave disc. The tank, rear fender and footrests are also Thunderbike in-house creations.

The paintwork gives the RS-O its final personality. The design idea was created by Andreas Bergerforth and airbrush artist Ingo Kruse. The color combination of matte black and orange with racing checkered graphics highlights the drag racing style of the bike. The finish looks clean, fast and very purposeful.

In summary, the Thunderbike RS-O customized Dragster RS frame motorcycle is a true showcase of European custom building. It combines a powerful Screamin’ Eagle Twin-Cam engine, radical dragster styling and a large number of in-house engineered components. For riders and fans who love custom Harley-Davidson motorcycles and full frame builds, the Thunderbike RS-O is an excellent example of what high-quality custom craftsmanship can achieve.

The custom scene continues to evolve, and few names resonate as strongly in the European custom world as Thunderbike.

Their latest creation, the Harley-Davidson Breakout “R v3.0”, is a stunning fusion of brute strength and precision engineering — a build that redefines the aggressive Softail silhouette with signature Thunderbike style.

At its core lies the OEM Harley-Davidson Softail Breakout frame, a solid foundation renowned for its muscular stance and smooth ride. But Thunderbike has taken it much further, upgrading nearly every visible and functional component with their premium custom parts.

The wheels are the unmistakable Thunderbike Unbreakable design — bold, sharp-edged, and impossible to ignore. They perfectly complement the matching Unbreakable front fork (Gabel), giving the bike a cohesive and high-performance front end.

The Thunderbike TBR fender and tank have also been seamlessly integrated, enhancing the bike’s aggressive lines while maintaining its Harley soul.

From top to bottom, the bike is equipped with Thunderbike’s best:

• Foot controls from the Thunderbike Base Alu series
• Phantom Base Alu grips, precision-milled for optimal control and feel

• Lamps from the Unbreakable line, continuing the bike’s unified design language
• A high-performance Unbreakable air cleaner, delivering both looks and power

Every element, from the smallest bolt to the massive wheels, reflects Thunderbike’s attention to detail and commitment to quality. The “R v3.0” isn’t just a custom bike — it’s a visual and mechanical statement built for those who demand more from their Harley-Davidson.

This is not just another Breakout — this is Thunderbike’s R v3.0. A road-dominating machine born from innovation, built to rule.

The Harley-Davidson V-Rod “Flyin’” by Rick’s Motorcycles is a striking custom bike with a low stance, wide rear tire, and a bold blue finish.

Its clean lines and aggressive proportions give it a powerful presence on the road. This V-Rod blends modern custom design with the unmistakable DNA of Harley-Davidson.

From the rear, the “Flyin’” shows its character. The Rick’s Motorcycles 300 swingarm allows the massive wide tire installation, creating a drag-style look. The 280 Short Cut GFK rear fender follows the tire perfectly and keeps the design tight and compact.

The bike features Rick’s Motorcycles V-Star wheels, 10.5 × 18 inches at the rear and 3.5 × 18 inches at the front, combined with matching V-Star brake discs. This setup not only improves handling, but also adds a strong visual highlight that defines the bike’s custom style.

The muscular engine is combined with a Force 2-in-2 black exhaust system that delivers deep sound and strong performance. With the Harley-Davidson air cleaner, the bike breathes better and responds quickly to throttle input, making every ride exciting and lively.

At the front, the Rick’s Motorcycles Good Guys headlight and the Streetfighter airbox cover give the V-Rod a modern and aggressive expression. The Harley-Davidson fork and sleek front fender complete a clean, performance-oriented look.

The cockpit is minimalist and purposeful. It uses Rick’s Motorcycles riser and V-Rod 1″ handlebar, combined with Harley-Davidson levers and Kellermann turn signals. Arlen Ness grips and pegs add comfort and a premium finishing touch for the rider.

The custom paintwork by Rick’s Motorcycles makes the “Flyin’” instantly recognizable. The bright blue body contrasts with the blacked-out engine and chassis parts, highlighting the curves and proportions of the bike. Every detail reflects precision, craftsmanship, and true custom spirit.

The Harley-Davidson Night Rod “Phoenix” by Rod Squad is a striking example of how the V-Rod platform can be completely reborn through custom craftsmanship.

This build takes the muscular Night Rod Special and transforms it into an aggressive, low-slung custom motorcycle with a radical stance, premium components, and meticulous attention to detail. The name “Phoenix” reflects the concept behind the project: a machine reborn from the ashes, more powerful and more dramatic than before, combining performance tuning with artistic design and flawless engineering.

This custom Harley-Davidson Night Rod stands out immediately thanks to its chassis and wheel conversions. The motorcycle is converted to 2014 Night Rod Special wheels, with a rear wheel widened to 9.5 x 18 inches and wrapped in a massive 280 Metzeler tire, giving the bike its unmistakable drag-bike posture.

The front fork is lowered by two inches and completely faired using caps and sleeves from Speed Demon, creating a streamlined and aggressive front profile. An Arnott Airride system allows adjustable ride height, giving the rider the option of a slammed show stance or a more practical riding position, while maintaining the muscular look of the V-Rod platform.

Rod Squad also focused strongly on the electrics and cockpit area, ensuring a clean, minimalist design. The MT06 headlamp is modified and paired with M-Blaze Pin micro indicators. ’89 drag bars are mounted on modified risers and all lines, including clutch line, brake line, throttle cable, and electrical wiring, are routed internally through the handlebars.

A Müller internal throttle system is used, and the grips from Speed Demon are modified to match the overall style. The motorcycle features a completely rebuilt wiring harness, with the engine control unit moved to the front, and all main functions are controlled through four discreet buttons. A hidden starter button and a speedometer converted to red illumination enhance the sleek custom appearance.

The engine and performance upgrades complement the visual changes. The engine is painted matte black to contrast the matte red frame and body components. An Akrapovič exhaust system is installed with a specially manufactured CNC bracket designed specifically for mounting the Akrapovič silencer on this bike.

Power Vision mapping is used to optimize the engine’s performance characteristics. Braking is upgraded with complete steel braided brake lines and Galfer Wave brake discs at the front and rear combined with Galfer sintered pads, delivering enhanced stopping power to match the motorcycle’s aggressive performance potential.

A large part of the Phoenix’s appeal comes from its custom-painted bodywork and handcrafted details. The frame and attachments are painted matte red, while the front fender is made of real carbon and finished with elaborate airbrush work. The airbox cover and rear fender are also modified and decorated with highly detailed airbrush graphics and hand-painted lines, turning the motorcycle into a rolling piece of art.

The bike is finished with a custom-made Alcantara seat, engraved engine covers and swingarm cover, a Speed Demon license plate holder with hidden cable routing, and Kellermann rear brake, tail, and indicator combination for a clean rear-end look. Machined components such as the milled rear pulley, pulley cover, and 26-tooth drive wheel complete the drivetrain transformation.

Overall, the Harley-Davidson Night Rod “Phoenix” by Rod Squad is a complete reinterpretation of the Night Rod Special. It combines radical visual presence with technical precision, from its 280 rear tire conversion and lowered fork to its Akrapovič exhaust, Arnott Airride, carbon components, and complex airbrush artwork. This custom Night Rod is not just a modified Harley—it is a statement machine, built for riders who want exclusivity, craftsmanship, and the unmistakable power of a fully customized V-Rod.

The dark finish ties in with the rest of the components, reinforcing the stealthy “Venom” personality.

For suspension, the bike is equipped with an Arnott Airride shock system. This allows the rider to adjust the ride height at will, dropping the bike extremely low for shows and photos, and raising it to a comfortable and practical height while riding.
