The Harley-Davidson Night Rod “Venom” is a stunning and aggressive custom motorcycle built by E-D Special Custom in Italy.

Based on the iconic Harley-Davidson Night Rod / V-Rod platform, this project pushes the limits of design and stance, turning the already muscular power cruiser into a radical custom machine. With its low profile, extra-wide rear wheel and dark, flowing lines, the Venom immediately stands out as a pure muscle bike designed to attract attention wherever it goes.

This custom Night Rod has been upgraded with high-quality components and precise craftsmanship. One of the most eye-catching elements is the massive Metzeler Marathon rear tire in size 280/35 R18, which gives the bike its characteristic drag-style rear end and powerful visual impact. The oversized tire enhances the aggressive look while emphasizing the width and presence of the motorcycle on the road.

The exhaust system has been replaced by a black 2-in-1 setup, which perfectly matches the dark theme of the build. This system not only delivers a deep and aggressive sound typical of the V-Rod family, but also contributes to a cleaner aesthetic line along the right side of the bike. 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. This combination of visual impact and functionality is one of the highlights of the build and adds to the bike’s versatility.

The seat has been completely handcrafted by E-D Special Custom to match the unique lines of the project. It integrates seamlessly with the rear fender and bodywork, maintaining the continuous flow of the design while providing comfort for the rider. The paintwork has also been done by E-D Special Custom, featuring a dark base enhanced with striking contrasting stripes that accentuate the muscular shapes of the tank and rear section.

Overall, the Harley-Davidson Night Rod Venom by E-D Special Custom is a perfect example of Italian craftsmanship applied to an American power cruiser. It combines an extreme stance, premium components and meticulous finishing, while always respecting the original V-Rod DNA.

motorcycle is built for riders who want individuality, style and pure presence on the road, making the Venom one of the most impressive custom Night Rod builds in the scene.

The Harley-Davidson V-Rod has always stood out as one of the most radical platforms in the Harley lineup, but the V-Rod Custom “Maori” by E-D Special takes customization to a completely different level.

This stunning build combines muscular performance with unique tribal-inspired aesthetics, delivering a motorcycle that is as powerful as it is visually striking.

Unique “Maori” Custom Design

The name “Maori” is inspired by the custom paintwork that covers the bike. The bodywork features intricate Maori-style motifs that flow across the tank, tail, and fenders, giving the V-Rod a distinctive identity. The custom paint was expertly executed by E-D Special Custom, showcasing craftsmanship, precision, and attention to detail.

The aggressive stance is enhanced by the wide rear tire, sculpted seat, and low profile silhouette, creating the perfect fusion of art and engineering.

Massive 330 Rear Tire for an Extreme Look

One of the most eye-catching elements of this build is the massive rear tire setup. The bike runs on Avon Venom-R 330/30 R17 tires, delivering an extraordinary wide-body appearance. This oversized tire not only adds visual drama, but also reinforces the drag-inspired DNA of the Harley-Davidson V-Rod.

Custom Wheels & Premium Components

The “Maori” V-Rod is fitted with Bad Boy Customs wheels, adding to its premium custom identity. The polished finishes and bold design lines complement the rest of the motorcycle’s styling and enhance its powerful posture on the road.

To complete the performance-focused setup, the bike features an Arnott Airride shock system, allowing the rider to raise or lower the suspension at the touch of a button. This delivers both comfort and an ultra-low show stance when parked.

Powerful Sound with Vance & Hines 2-in-1 Exhaust

Performance meets attitude through the exhaust system. This custom V-Rod is equipped with a Vance & Hines Competition Series 2-in-1 black exhaust system. The setup not only reduces weight but also delivers an aggressive exhaust note that perfectly matches the bike’s bold personality. The deep, throaty sound reinforces the muscular nature of the Revolution engine.

Custom Seat and Hand-Built Details

The bike features an E-D Special Custom seat, sculpted to match the flowing lines of the bodywork. Comfort and style come together through precise craftsmanship. Every element of this build shows hand-finished detail, from the polished components to the flowing graphics.

A True Show-Stopping Harley-Davidson V-Rod

The Harley-Davidson V-Rod Custom “Maori” by E-D Special is not just another custom motorcycle – it is a statement piece. With its oversized 330 rear tire, air suspension, custom wheels, Vance & Hines exhaust, and breathtaking Maori-inspired paintwork, it stands out as one of the most unique V-Rod builds on the road.
