The Harley-Davidson Night Rod ‘Bad Habitz’ is a stunning custom motorcycle built by Bozzies in the Netherlands and proudly owned by FM Car Treatments.

This unique build draws inspiration from Porsche design, combining raw American power with the refined lines and precision of European engineering. The result is a machine that looks as fast as it rides — bold, muscular, and beautifully balanced.

One of the most striking features of “Bad Habitz” is its massive wide rear wheel, giving the bike a powerful and aggressive stance. The exclusive hand-crafted paint, with a carbon-style finish, highlights the custom bodywork and adds a high-performance aesthetic that perfectly matches its attitude. Every line, curve, and texture reflects meticulous attention to detail.

Maarten de Bruin Fotografie

The 2-in-2 black exhaust system not only enhances performance but also delivers a deep, brutal sound that commands attention wherever it goes. Complementing the setup is a custom-made seat, designed for comfort and control, while maintaining the clean, low-slung silhouette that defines this V-Rod’s character.

Maarten de Bruin Fotografie

Every aspect of this motorcycle — from its engineering to its visual impact — represents the artistry and technical skill that define Bozzies’ work. “Bad Habitz” isn’t just a custom Harley; it’s a statement of individuality, precision, and passion for perfection.

The Harley-Davidson Softail Springer Classic FLSTSCI 2005 you see here is a true old-school custom motorcycle.

Built by Lord Drake Kustoms in their Harley customization workshop in Miami, USA, this Springer is not a simple tribute — it is authentic old school style brought to life.

This custom Harley was commissioned by a regular Lord Drake Kustoms client, SDT Designs, who collaborated closely with the builder to create this powerful old-school Softail. The initials “SDT” come from the name of the bike’s owner. From the beginning it was clear that cheap aftermarket springer forks were not an option. The goal was something radical, clean and authentic, so the project started with a Harley-Davidson Softail as the base, later transformed into a Softail Springer Classic.

The first step in the build was to completely strip the Softail frame, removing the oil tank along with all the original Twin Cam engine and transmission covers. The rear section of the frame was cut and reshaped to begin forming the new lines of this custom motorcycle.

The rear fender, custom oil tank, fuel tank base, full seat assembly, handlebars, and exhaust pipes were all hand-fabricated by Lord Drake Kustoms. A modified Sportster peanut tank was also used to reinforce the old-school look and slim profile of the bike.

Most of the original chrome engine and transmission covers were refinished in textured black powder coat, replacing chrome with a tougher and more vintage appearance. The finish of the bike is intentionally raw: bare metal with natural rust, protected with semi-gloss clear coat on the tank and fenders. Black powder coat and touches of red on the wheel rims complete the aggressive look.

The spring saddle upholstery was made using the same leather that Ferrari uses for interior panels and consoles in its cars, adding a unique touch of luxury to this rugged old-school Harley.

The result is a 2005 Harley-Davidson Softail Springer Classic that truly embodies the spirit of vintage custom motorcycles — authentic, handcrafted, minimalist, and built with passion by Lord Drake Kustoms in Miami.

Time does not stand still, as much as we would like to – but there is a consolation: even after six decades of Harley customizing, even with the very latest, most technically sophisticated HD models of all time, maintaining the popular and proven custom styles is possible , even though Harley-Davidson is currently looking for new customers, new “climbers” in the saddle of their products – sometimes you have to search for the future in the past. Because a surprising number of “newcomers” in the scene are looking for and even in modern motorcycles, the “old values”: And the team of Thunderbike knows exactly these values ​​in Harley’s most modern models to “wake up” …

https://youtu.be/VhfUTIYErYE

Introducing a “Bolt On and Ride” bike just at the end of the motorcycle season may seem a bit counterproductive – especially if you take the word “Ride” literally. But the motorcycle season at Custom Chrome Europe has always lasted into autumn – and last but not least there’s a not-so-unimportant season: customizing over the fall, winter and spring months. They like to show the latest parts on a complete motorcycle, especially if it is such a successful setup as the “Cross Bob” built by the longtime CCE partner Thunderbike in Hamminkeln. Because it’s based on one of the newest Harley models, the 2018 FXBB “Street Bob”.

The “Cross Bob” premiered at the 2018 edition of European Bike Week: While Harley-Davidson presented their latest Milwaukee-Eight powered piece of jewelery at the Harley-Village, CCE unveiled its newest piece of jewelry at the Arneitz Custom Show on September 3rd. A “New School” Bobber at its best!

The “Cross Bob” premiered at the 2018 edition of European Bike Week: While Harley-Davidson presented their latest Milwaukee-Eight powered piece of jewelery at the Harley-Village, CCE unveiled its newest piece of jewelry at the Arneitz Custom Show on September 3rd. A “New School” Bobber at its best!

The parts list is long and contains prominent names, which makes it hard to be brief: The invisible core of the suspension is the new lowering kit from Müller Motorcycles, which allows the suspension to be lowered to 35 mm, for show purposes even 40 mm! Thunderbike quickly followed with a front fork lowering kit, further downsizing the seating position of the new Softail suspension! For a filigree “New School” look, CCE donated a set of RevTech “Nitro Black” design wheels, of course with matching brake discs and drive pulley – the selected radical tires with Heidenau K60 Scout tires in the lug profile provide the “Cross Over” touch.

The fenders over the two rubbers are “Heavy Metal” by TXT, already finished with the new M8 Softails. The Milwaukee Eight propulsion unit has been completely covered with new EMD covers – also current novelties – and Thunderbike’s “Grand Classic” air filter fits perfectly to the theme. With the Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde equipment, the sound of the new M8 engine comes into its own – and the systems have been homologated since the launch of the M8 Touring models.

The conversion shows new parts of Chopper Kings (handlebars), Rebuffini (hydraulic cylinders and switches), Chopper Kulture (headlights), LePera (seat), Hell’s Kitchen (rear turn signal), TLT (electric box for CAN-BUS adaptation) – and of course Thunderbike , from whose extensive program rest system, side license plate carrier, Gabelverkleidung and many other details originate.
The FXBB “Cross Bob” is the second 2018 “Softail” in the 2018 “BOAR” line-up – and the first one with ancestry from a former “Dyna” model, the FXDB “Street Bob”. A true first for CCE’s 10th anniversary year of “Bolt On and Ride” history – and rolling proof that even with the new chassis and engines from Harley-Davidson the old styles can be maintained and continued in the future. But now it’s time to drive – because the days are getting shorter again …
