Killer Whale Build Lives Up To Its Name Perfectly
This build sits atop the proverbial food chain.
Top of the Chain
When we think of the term "killer whale," we imagine a giant sea creature that resides at the top of the food chain, though in all fairness, it isn't exactly out there doing anything but providing for itself - not taking out other creatures for fun. But Killer Whale is also the nickname for this particular Harley V-Rod build, which was created by the folks at FiberBull - a custom shop located in Valencia, Spain.

Quite Fitting
The first-gen V-Rod has obviously been heavily modified, starting with its all-black appearance that features very few components that aren't finished in that particular hue. It's fitting of the Killer Whale name, though the animal itself does have a bit of white sprinkled in. In this case, you'll only find that on the "Harley-Davidson" logo painted on the tank.

Hand Made
There are loads of cool custom features to be found here, including a hand-made airbox, rear mudguard, side covers, and air filter cover, each of which was laid in fiberglass by the folks at Fiberbull and gives the V-Rod a true custom look.

Custom Seat
The custom seat provides room for two if needed, yet doesn't look too terribly large like some other units out there. It's made with high-density foam and covered in suede-style upholstery, while Rhombus embroidery caps off the look perfectly.

Hot Rod
Up front, a new set of handlebars gives the V-Rod a fresh look, particularly when combined with the bike's rolling stock of choice - a set of black-painted wheels with a massive 240 tire out back. That particular unit gives the Harley a truly muscular look befitting its name and hot rod heritage.

Stock Power
The finishing touch is a modified rear suspension, which helps keep the bike planted to the ground and put the power of its V-twin engine to the pavement as well. That particular unit appears to be stock, as FiberBull didn't mention any sort of modifications in that regard, but this V-Rod looks cool enough to compensate for that oversight.
