This Harley-Davidson V-Rod custom by DD Designs (USA) is a perfect example of how raw power and minimalist design can merge into a truly aggressive muscle bike. Built in the United States, this V-Rod abandons flashy excess in favor of a dark, brutal aesthetic that highlights the bike’s massive proportions and unmistakable presence.

From the side view, the first thing that dominates the scene is the ultra-wide rear tire, giving the motorcycle a drag-inspired stance that screams performance. The lowered profile, combined with the stretched geometry, reinforces the V-Rod’s reputation as one of Harley-Davidson’s most radical platforms. DD Designs has taken full advantage of this foundation, pushing the bike into extreme custom territory.

The all-black finish plays a key role in the visual impact of this build. Matte and satin black tones cover the engine, exhaust, wheels, and bodywork, creating a stealthy, industrial look. Subtle contrasts in textures prevent the design from feeling flat, while carefully selected components add depth without breaking the bike’s dark identity.

Up front, the aggressive stance continues with a low-mounted headlight, beefy front forks, and oversized brake hardware that underline the bike’s performance-oriented nature. The handlebars and controls are kept clean and minimal, enhancing both ergonomics and visual flow. Every element feels intentional, with no unnecessary parts distracting from the overall design.

At the rear, the custom tail section and integrated lighting keep the silhouette compact and muscular. The massive tire not only delivers visual drama but also reinforces the bike’s drag-race DNA. This is a V-Rod built to look fast even when standing still.

This DD Designs Harley-Davidson V-Rod is not just a custom motorcycle—it’s a statement. It represents the darker, more aggressive side of V-Rod customization, where power, stance, and attitude matter more than polish. A perfect example of American muscle reimagined on two wheels, this build earns its place among the most radical custom V-Rods ever created.

This custom V-Rod features striking candy red painted rims that instantly draw attention and emphasize the aggressive stance of the bike.

The engine and all polished attachments are finished in gloss black, creating a powerful contrast with the red highlights. The engine cover is painted in gray, giving the motor area a clean and distinctive look, while all engine screws are anodized in red to complete the color theme with subtle but impactful details.

The bike is equipped with a complete RAY body kit, including the airbox cover, rear fender, and radiator cover. The body kit also incorporates real red carbon inlays, adding both exclusivity and visual depth to the design. At the front, a Speed Demon “Monza” front fender enhances the muscular and sporty appearance.

Control components are also upgraded. The motorcycle uses an LSL riser combined with a Fehling Z-Bar handlebar with internal electronics, resulting in a clean cockpit without visible wiring. The start button integrated into the airbox cover is another custom touch that reinforces the minimalist look. A side-mounted license plate holder further highlights the wide rear wheel.

For comfort and stance, the bike has been fitted with a custom Arnott Airride suspension system, allowing adjustable ride height. The exhaust sound and performance are enhanced by a Jekill & Hyde adjustable flap exhaust system, providing both loud and stealth modes. Braking power is improved using Galfer Wave brake discs at the front and rear.

The front end also features a Speed Demon fork cover kit and Wunderkind hemisphere grips, while a Dr. Mechanik front indicator kit ensures sleek, integrated lighting. The seat is custom made in leather and Alcantara with red stitching, matching the overall color scheme and adding premium comfort.

The bike has been converted to a Metzeler 260 rear tire, reinforcing its drag-style silhouette. It also includes a custom lamp holder for the V-Rod headlamp, a milled pulley cover, and a Kellermann Atto rear combination light integrating indicator, tail light, and brake light in an ultra-compact design. The rear pulley is milled and painted, and the drivetrain features a conversion to a 28-tooth front pulley for improved acceleration.

Additional details include Columbia 2 mirrors and a red anodized ABM brake fluid reservoir, finishing off a build focused on both performance and visual impact. This custom V-Rod is a perfect blend of high-end parts, aggressive styling, and precision craftsmanship, making it a standout machine in the world of Harley-Davidson customs.

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 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 Harley-Davidson V-Rod ‘GEO 280Red‘ by Bad Boy Customs is a bold and aggressive interpretation of the iconic power cruiser.

This custom build blends high-performance components, precision craftsmanship, and a striking color scheme that makes it stand out anywhere it goes. Finished in a sleek matte gray with contrasting red wheels, the GEO 280Red radiates pure muscle and style.

To achieve its wide and powerful stance, Bad Boy Customs equipped the bike with a 10 x 18 rear wheel wrapped in a 280 tire, and a 4.25 x 19-inch front wheel (BBC 071). The look is completed with front and rear rim stripes and a lowered front fork, giving the V-Rod an even more aggressive posture. Wave brake discs (BBC 073 & BBC 074) enhance both performance and aesthetics, while the engine covers, swingarm, and other details are painted in the same body color for a seamless finish.

The custom bodywork includes a rear fender (BBC 090), airbox cover (BBC 024), and a short front fender (BBC 036), all crafted with precision. Other bespoke parts such as closed fork sleeves (BBC 129), rear and front axle covers (BBC 075 & BBC 107), and swingarm covers (BBC 103) ensure every inch of the motorcycle looks refined and cohesive.

Performance and comfort were also top priorities. The 2-in-2 black ceramic-coated exhaust system (BBC 001) not only adds a deep, throaty sound but also a unique visual touch. The custom seat, made from smooth and rough leather with a diamond pattern, provides both elegance and grip.

Completing the setup are a side-mounted license plate holder (BBC 059), Airride suspension (BBC 070), and mini front indicators (BBC 054) with indicator brackets (BBC 057) that keep the design clean and minimalistic.

The front end features a 3D headlight bracket (BBC 138) paired with a main headlight with Angel Eyes (BBC 123) for a futuristic touch. A Dragbar Fatbar handlebar (1 1/4”, BBC 126) and pointed bar ends (BBC 068) complete the cockpit, combining comfort, control, and style.

The inspiration behind it wasn’t tobacco — it was Wayne Rainey, the three-time 500cc World Champion of the early 1990s.

Rainey never rode a V-Rod, of course. His machine was the legendary Yamaha YZR 500, painted in the iconic red-and-white Marlboro racing colors that defined an era.

This tribute bike was built by Andi Bürger from Speyer, a man who used to focus mainly on customizing Kawasakis. Under his label “Bürger Custom”, he eventually turned to American Big Twins — and this 2012 V-Rod Muscle became his canvas.

Bürger bought the bike in December 2022 and immediately set out to transform it over the winter. The result is a bold and beautifully balanced mix of muscle and motorsport heritage.

At the rear sits a massive 260 mm tire, just barely fitting within the original swingarm. The bike has been lowered, equipped with a dual exhaust system from Kess-Tech featuring an electronic sound management module hidden beneath the tank cover.

A NLC tank cover, Bad Boy Custom tail section, and Night Rod headlight fairing complete the bodywork — all finished in the unmistakable Marlboro racing livery that brings Rainey’s glory days back to life.

Although Bürger is a smoker, this project isn’t about cigarettes. It’s about honoring a racing legend whose determination and style inspired a generation. Wayne Rainey’s career ended after a crash in 1993 that left him paralyzed — a powerful reminder that sometimes, racing itself is more dangerous than smoking.

This motorcycle stands as a perfect balance between raw power and refined detail — a true showpiece of modern custom engineering.

The build features a widened 10×18 rear wheel fitted with a massive 280 Avon tire (BBC 012), giving the bike a bold and powerful rear stance. Complementing that setup is a rear fender (BBC 090) and an airbox cover with air inlets (BBC 024) that seamlessly integrate with the bike’s aerodynamic flow. The short front fender (BBC 036) adds a sporty edge, while axle, swingarm, and engine screw covers contribute to the bike’s clean, detailed finish.

For comfort and style, the Roche saddle crafted from smooth leather features elegant diamond-patterned black stitching, perfectly blending luxury with performance. A side-mounted license plate holder (BBC 060) and infinitely adjustable Airride suspension (BBC 070) enhance both functionality and visual impact, allowing the rider to fine-tune the stance and ride height at any moment.

The front end showcases BBC 054 blinkers mounted on BBC 057 indicator brackets, along with a stainless steel dragbar (BBC 051) fitted with bar end tips (BBC 068) for a clean, minimal look.

Completing the build is the 2-in-2 exhaust system (BBC 001) with TÜV approval, delivering a deep, throaty sound that perfectly matches the bike’s muscular presence. The BBC 082 lamp holder, BBC 081 headlight, and BBC 370 mirrors add the final touches of precision and design balance.

The White Pearl 280 is far more than a motorcycle — it’s a statement of individuality and passion, embodying the spirit of Bad Boy Customs and their dedication to excellence. Each component has been chosen not only for performance but also to create a cohesive and powerful aesthetic.
