Beyond the standard factory frames, Harley Davidson enthusiasts often modify their bikes with custom-built frames.
Whether it’s a stretched-out chopper frame or a bicycle-like frame inspired by early motorcycle designs, custom frames allow for endless personalization. These builds showcase the creativity of the Harley Davidson community and keep the spirit of motorcycle design innovation alive.
The reported origin of custom motorcycle design often begins with G.I.s returning home from World War II. Initially, bikers began modifying their vehicles for racing, utilizing weight reduction and improved aerodynamics.
It didn’t take long for more creative riders to customize their street bikes for looks and maximum appeal instead of just performance.
