HARLEY-DAVIDSON UNVEILS THE CREATORS CUSTOM CLASH BIKES
European creators face off in the ultimate customization competition as public voting opens
Harley-Davidson® today presents the six motorcycles competing in the new "Creators Custom Clash," a European competition celebrating the brand’s customization culture through the creativity of some of Europe's most engaging digital creators.
At the heart of the competition are creators from across Europe, ready to challenge each other in a true build-off. In collaboration with authorized Harley-Davidson dealerships in their respective countries, each creator has transformed a stock Harley-Davidson motorcycle into a unique, fully customized machine, all vying for the title of overall winner. Throughout the building process, the creators shared every stage of their work on social media, taking the public behind the scenes from the initial concept to the final result.
THE CREATIONS
France – Eskyas x Macadam Moto | Street Bob®
Eskyas offers a version of the Street Bob that highlights its authentic character without distorting its essence. The custom low and narrow handlebars, dedicated wiring, lowered suspension (-20mm rear and -5mm front), and a 180mm rear tire make it even more aggressive and enjoyable to ride. Redline details, Kellermann ATTO indicators, a Screamin’ Eagle® Extreme Circle air cleaner, and a Jekill & Hyde electronically controlled exhaust add performance and character, while hand-painted graphics complete the project. The result is a clean, refined custom that blends style, personality, and rideability.
Italy – Jack NBC | Breakout®
Jack NBC reimagines the Breakout® with a bold, performance-oriented approach, combining aggressive styling with a contemporary creative vision. Drawing on his experience customizing Harley-Davidson motorcycles, he has created a project defined by sharper aesthetic contrasts and upgraded components, designed to enhance both road presence and handling. It is the most ambitious project he has tackled to date.
Spain – Javier Gallardo | Low Rider®
This Low Rider, dubbed "Nómada," is a modern chopper that celebrates freedom, exploration, and personal expression. Large multi-spoke wheels and an elongated, imposing silhouette are paired with a 1970s-inspired livery, enriched by glitter finishes and colors that pay homage to the brand's heritage. The Jekill & Hyde exhaust blends a classic sound with modern functionality, while the entire project was developed to enhance fluidity, movement, and a connection to the road, creating a bike that fully reflects its creator's personality without sacrificing functionality.
UK – Miles Langford | Street Bob®
Tattoo artist Miles Langford brings his creative flair to a Clubsport-inspired Street Bob, characterized by an aggressive look and a sharp focus on performance. Screamin’ Eagle® x Öhlins suspension, wider tires, Arlen Ness Big Brake discs, and a Jekill & Hyde 2-in-1 prototype exhaust enhance both road presence and dynamic capabilities, while Kraus handlebars and BMX-style grips call back to his early influences. The project combines functionality with aesthetic care, featuring lightened fenders, a reinforced swingarm, and a Harley-Davidson fairing—all without compromising long-distance comfort. The custom livery, featuring metalflake flames over gold-leaf stripes, pays tribute to the late Linkin Park frontman, Chester Bennington. Rich, carefully crafted details round out the project, resulting in a highly personal, high-performance machine.
Netherlands – Arjan van den Boom | Street Bob®
Arjan van den Boom, founder of Ironwood Custom Motorcycles, reinterprets the Street Bob® with a distinct personality inspired by the scrambler world. Lifted suspension, a chain drive, and Pirelli MT60 RS tires give it a compact, aggressive stance, while high-end components, including the Screamin’ Eagle® Vortex intake and Vance & Hines Upsweep exhaust, boost performance. Finished in the unmistakable "Ruby Stone Red," "Pink Savage" combines strong mechanical presence with a refined and surprising aesthetic identity.
Germany – Pia Tillmann, Zicco Banach & Angelo Carlucci | Breakout®
This Breakout® is the result of a collaboration between three creators who combined their ideas and creative influences into a unique and perfectly balanced project. Purple flame graphics, chrome details, and a grey seat with a leopard pattern and purple stitching create a striking visual contrast, while a tall sissy bar adds character and utility. The Jekill & Hyde exhaust completes the project with a signature sound, resulting in a bike that blends classic custom culture elements with a contemporary style.
All six custom bikes are now viewable in the dedicated online gallery:

Public voting remains open until September 10, 2026. The competition will culminate at the European Bike Week in Faak am See, Austria (September 8–13, 2026), where all six motorcycles will be displayed together for the first time. The final winner will be determined by a combination of public votes and expert jury scores. As a prize, the winning creator will be awarded the custom Harley-Davidson built for the competition.
With the Creators Custom Clash, Harley-Davidson continues to promote creativity, individuality, and craftsmanship, proving once again that custom culture is not just a trend, but part of the brand’s DNA.
