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 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.

Every detail on the GEO 280Red speaks of precision and passion. From the stance to the finishing, this V-Rod captures the essence of modern custom culture — where engineering meets artistry.

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.

Big Bad Customs has once again redefined the boundaries of custom motorcycle design with this breathtaking Harley-Davidson V-Rod.

Dressed in a Custom Aegeus Blue body color with carbon fiber details and a smooth satin finish, this masterpiece is built to impress from every angle.

The frame is powder-coated in gloss black, while the engine wears a stealthy matt black finish. Rolling on custom CNC-milled multispoke rims—a massive rear 400-18 and aggressive front 260-18—this machine commands the road. The matching multispoke rear pulley and new tires feature custom rubber-cut gold HD x Big Bad Customs decals proudly displaying the tire sizes.

A custom CNC-milled single-sided swingarm with hidden air suspension showcases the stunning rear wheel, paired with an offset bearing support, 30T pulley, and a custom laser-etched pulley cover bearing the Big Bad Customs logo. Braking power comes from a rear perimeter brake rotor with a hidden 4-piston caliper.

The bike features a custom gas tank, Stage 1 DynoJet tuning, and a K&N high-flow air filter for performance. The custom hot rod-style exhaust with four outlets delivers an unmistakable roar. The front end has been lowered and raked 8 degrees with CNC triple trees integrated into low bars, slotted fork covers revealing color-coded forks, Cubiq front discs, blue titanium bolts, and color-coded calipers with blue mesh.

Lighting includes a custom CNC-milled headlight with a projector beam, color-matched bezel, removable blue-tinted glass, and 360-degree bar-end LED indicators. The custom body kit integrates mini rear LED indicators and taillights into the rear fender.

Inside the cockpit, a one-off multicolor speedometer with digital gear indicator, shift lights, and RGB connectivity via smartphone allows full customization of background colors. The backplate is finished in matt black with the Big Bad Customs logo in silver.

The custom seat, upholstered in black Alcantara with electric blue stitching, pairs perfectly with the custom gear shifter linkage, flip-up mirrors, multi-position blue levers, custom grips, and horn cover. A side-mounted LED license plate holder, various axle covers, domed HD decals, and countless bespoke touches complete this extraordinary build.

From its aggressive stance to its flawless detailing, this Harley-Davidson V-Rod by Big Bad Customs is a rolling work of art and a true statement of power and style.

The Harley V-Rod “Chrome Cherry” is a jaw-dropping creation by Gaz Custom, built with precision and attitude.

This striking custom build is a perfect blend of aggressive styling and high-end craftsmanship, starting with its unmistakable candy red paint job, flawlessly applied by Gaz Custom himself.

At the heart of the build is a carefully selected lineup of components from No Limit Custom, including:

  • Exhaust System: 2-in-2 Black by No Limit Custom, delivering both performance and a deep, throaty sound
  • Headlight: Custom unit from No Limit Custom
  • Front and Rear Fenders: Streamlined and aggressively cut
  • Radiator Cover: Clean and modern, enhancing the bike’s flow
  • Airbox Cover: Custom-shaped and seamlessly integrated
  • Swingarm: Reinforced and extended for a muscular stance
  • Fork: Custom front end with a powerful presence
  • Motor Cover: Matching chromed piece that ties the whole look together

The bike rolls on Metzeler Marathon 280/35 R18 tires, providing both grip and style with the massive rear end adding to its drag-style appeal.

The custom seat, handcrafted by Gaz Custom, fits the lines of the build perfectly and ensures the rider sits low and in control.

From front to back, Chrome Cherry is a bold tribute to V-Rod performance and custom creativity. This is not just a Harley – it’s a full-blown statement of style and engineering.

The Lamellar Project by GAZ Custom delivers yet another striking piece of engineering and design mastery with “Forget Blue”, a fully customized Harley-Davidson V-Rod that merges futuristic aesthetics with high-end craftsmanship.

This custom V-Rod features a complete carbon bodykit, designed and modeled entirely in-house by GAZ Custom. The build showcases a dramatic transformation of the original V-Rod lines, incorporating a one-side swingarm, custom triple trees and fork covers, as well as fork end covers and clip-ons. Every component – from the handlebar to the gauge housings and mounting systems – has been purpose-built to deliver a cohesive and aggressive visual identity.

The custom brake wheels and integrated electrics and mechanical mounts reflect GAZ Custom’s precision in both design and function. Every detail aligns with the project’s unique character: sharp, modern, and unapologetically bold.

Performance and Add-on Components:

  • Rebuffini: Foot and hand controls, brake calipers
  • Motogadget: Speedometer, turn signals
  • Ducati: Headlight unit
  • No Limit Custom: Engine covers
  • Vance & Hines: Exhaust system

“Forget Blue” isn’t just a color statement – it’s a bold, mechanical sculpture on two wheels, pushing the limits of what a Harley-Davidson V-Rod can become.
