Harley-Davidson Custom Clash Between Six Builds

• Six creator-led Harley-Davidson custom builds revealed
• Winner receives their own custom-built Harley-Davidson

Harley-Davidson has revealed six custom motorcycles for its new Creators Custom Clash for the European build-off. Each one-off build has been created as part of a public competition with voting open until 10 September 2026 through Harley-Davidson’s custom gallery website.

The competition pairs creators from across Europe with local authorised dealerships and give them a stock motorcycle to turn into a personal dream build. The process has also been documented across social media giving fans a closer look at the journey from concept to finished motorcycle. The French entry comes from Eskyas and Macadam Moto based on the Street Bob. It gets a low and narrow custom handlebar with bespoke cabling, lowered suspension, a wider 180mm rear tyre, redline detailing, Kellerman ATTO micro indicators, a Screamin’ Eagle Extreme Circle air cleaner and a Jekill & Hyde electronically controlled exhaust.

Italy’s Jack NBC has worked on the Breakout taking a more performance-driven approach. The build leans into the Breakout’s natural muscle-bike personality, with sharper visual contrasts and upgraded components aimed at stronger presence and better riding dynamics. Spain’s Javier Gallardo has created a Low Rider named Nómada. The motorcycle takes the form of a modern chopper built with its oversized multi-spoke wheels, a stretched stance, 1970s-inspired paintwork, glitter finishes and heritage colours. A Jekill & Hyde exhaust adds modern functionality to the classic tone.

United Kingdom entry by Miles Langford is another Street Bob into a performance-led club-style build. It gets Screamin’ Eagle x Ohlins suspension, wider tyres, Arlen Ness Big Brake discs, a prototype Jekill & Hyde 2-into-1 exhaust, Kraus handlebars and BMX-style grips. The styling with metalflake flames over gold-leaf stripes paying tribute to Chester Bennington, the late Linkin Park frontman.

Netherlands is represented by Arjan van den Boom of Ironwood Custom Motorcycles on a Street Bob. His build, called Pink Savage, takes a rugged scrambler-inspired route. Raised suspension, a chain conversion, Pirelli MT60 RS tyres, a Screamin’ Eagle Vortex intake and a Vance & Hines Upsweep exhaust give it a tougher mechanical look. Germany’s build is a three-creator collaboration involving Pia Tillmann, Zicco Banach and Angelo Carlucci, based on the Breakout. This motorcycle has purple flame graphics, chrome detailing, a grey leopard-print seat with purple stitching, a tall sissy bar and a Jekill & Hyde exhaust.

All these six customs will be shown together at European Bike Week in Faaker See, Austria, from 8 to 13 September 2026. Final winner will be chosen through a mix of expert jury scoring and public vote. The winning creator will take home the custom-built Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
