‘Hooligan’ from BT Choppers is a Fat Boy Transformed
This killer Fat Boy built by Polish shop BTChoppers is full of cool little details — and now it’s up for grabs.
This bike started life as a 2014 Fat Boy, but the wizards at Poland’s BT Choppers have gone over every nut and bolt, and transformed it into something that’s truly one-of-a-kind. Dubbed the Hooligan, the fuel tank, chin spoiler, oil tank and rear fender were all made by hand, and I love the vintage take on the classic Harley-Davidson script. While everything rides a little lower than stock, this baby should be buttery smooth on the road, as it’s been fitted with a fully adjustable air setup from the experts at Legends Suspension.
No matter where you look on this machine, details abound. One of my favorite elements is the killer “Gangsta Style” custom exhaust. All the visible welds give me kind of a Star Wars, used future vibe, and the brassy tone provides some great contest with the black 103 cubic-inch V-twin. The pipes are topped with KessTech cannisters, but unfortunately, there’s no video of this baby running — because I bet it sounds like a total beast.
The cockpit has been streamlined from stock, and in place of the factory clocks, there’s now just a tach integrated into a handlebar from German Harley tuners Thunderbike. The mirrors have also gone missing, which greatly contributes to the minimalist look of the front end. That aesthetic continues out back, as the rear fender features a tiny integrated brake light and turn signals. Unless you’re deliberately looking for them, you really wouldn’t even know they were there.
The five-spoke wheels are from Walz Cycles, and while they look boss, if this were my Harley, I’d probably paint all the bolts a brass color, to match the exhaust. Honestly, that’s really the only thing I’d change here, as everything from the beefy forward controls, to the beveled metal grips, to the Alcantara saddle looks beautifully dialed in. Unlike a lot of show bikes, this machine actually saw some action out on the road, as there are currently 12,500 miles on the odometer.
Right now, the Hooligan is listed for sale on the BT Choppers website, though there isn’t a price listed. Personally, I’m really curious as to what it’ll go for, as I’m often amazed at just how cheap some shop builds, like SEMA show cars, for example, fetch when they’re put up for sale. Safe to say if this bike is up your alley, you likely wouldn’t be able to build it for what BT would let it go for. Check out more pics below, and let me know how much you’d pay to own this trick custom Fat Boy!
