Overview of Custom Builds

The competition pairs creators with local authorized dealerships. Each team receives a stock Harley-Davidson to modify according to their vision. The entire process is documented on social media, offering fans insight into each stage from concept to completion.

The French entry features Eskyas and Macadam Moto, who customized a Street Bob. Their build includes a low, narrow handlebar with bespoke cabling; lowered suspension; a 180mm-wide rear tire; redline detailing; Kellerman ATTO micro indicators; a Screamin’ Eagle Extreme Circle air cleaner; and a Jekill & Hyde electronically controlled exhaust.

Italy’s Jack NBC focused on the Breakout model, taking a performance-driven approach. The build enhances the Breakout’s muscle-bike character with sharper contrasts and upgraded components, improving presence and riding dynamics.

Spain’s Javier Gallardo created a Low Rider named Nómada. This motorcycle adopts a modern chopper style, featuring oversized multi-spoke wheels, a stretched stance, 1970s-inspired paintwork, glitter finishes, heritage colors, and a Jekyll & Hyde exhaust for modern functionality.

The United Kingdom entry by Miles Langford is another Street Bob, transformed into a performance-oriented club-style build. It features Screamin’ Eagle x Ohlins suspension, wider tires, Arlen Ness big brake discs, a prototype Jekill & Hyde 2-into-1 exhaust, Kraus handlebars, and BMX-style grips. The styling includes metalflake flames over gold-leaf stripes, paying tribute to Chester Bennington.

Arjan van den Boom of Ironwood Custom Motorcycles represents the Netherlands with a Street Bob named Pink Savage. This build takes inspiration from scrambler motorcycles, adding raised suspension, a chain conversion, Pirelli MT60 RS tires, a Screamin’ Eagle Vortex intake, and a Vance & Hines Upsweep exhaust for a rugged appearance.

Germany’s entry is a collaboration between Pia Tillmann, Zicco Banach, and Angelo Carlucci, based on the Breakout. Their motorcycle features purple flame graphics, chrome detailing, a grey leopard-print seat with purple stitching, a tall sissy bar, and a Jekill & Hyde exhaust.

Competition Details and Final Judging

All six custom motorcycles will be displayed together at European Bike Week in Faaker See, Austria, from 8 to 13 September 2026.
