Stand Out Harley-Davidson Forums Member Rides (photos)
Some of the coolest rides around belong to our very own members here at HDForums.com. Here is just a sampling of what you'll find in the forums.
1. donjuandr's 2014 Harley-Davidson Sportster 48
When donjuandr set out to turn his 48 into something unique and special, he drew inspiration from Rough Crafts' Iron Guerrilla custom. So of course, he used a slew of Rough Crafts parts, including the exhaust pipes, clutch and engine covers, seat, and rear fender (just to name a few). The rest of the build reads like a short novel, with some very cool highlights like the beefy Coker tires and appropriate HD Black Denim paint. We can't think of a better urban street attack vehicle than this.
2. Motown Strag's 2005 Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe
We're pretty sure we've never seen a Softail Deluxe with as much style as Motown Straq's '05. The low slung cruiser is chock full of goodies like a 98 big bore kit, HQ575 cams, Burley 1 1/4" beach bars, Harley low profile console, stainless cables, and so, so much more. We can't get over the simple, swoopy, and shiny style of the thing, and we bet anyone who catches a glance of the Softail cruising down the road can't, either.
3. ROB9550's 2008 Harley-Davidson Sportster Nightster
ROB9550 spent a little over a year playing around with his '08 Sportster, starting out by swapping in a few aftermarket components like an air cleaner and Power Commander III. Next, he swapped in some 30" wide drag bars, and began to contemplate altering the looks of his ride. Off came the rear fender, and it received a good chop. Even though he'd never even painted anything before, Rob literally transformed the bike in his own garage, with just the help of a friend. We'd say he did a pretty darn good job for a first timer.
4. sintax's 2001 Harley-Davidson Sportster XL1200 Custom
The world "custom" gets thrown around a lot these days, but sintax's '01 XL1200 is about as custom as it gets. The hardtail conversion has won a whole bunch of awards since its transformation, and it's easy to see why. After starting with a low mileage stock ride, sintax sold off all the chrome, which just about paid for the initial cost of the used bike. Then, he began adding the load of custom touches that make this insane ride one of the most unique we've seen in a long time.
5. Rocker B's 2014 Harley-Davidson Breakout
Rocker B's plans to build his 2014 Breakout into a show winning beast began with just a list of parts, but the end result is much more than the sum of the parts listed. The blacked out, powdercoated ride does have an impressive list of them, regardless, with things like Legend Air-Ride, Carlini Apes, Andrews 37h cams, a Daymaker headlight, and a Vance & Hines exhaust. Those parts may not be uncommon, but the end result is as unique as it gets.
