Harley-Davidson Creators Custom Clash bikes revealed as voting opens
Harley-Davidson has revealed the six motorcycles competing in its new Creators Custom Clash build-off, with creators from across Europe transforming stock bikes into one-off customs.
Harley-Davidson has unveiled the six motorcycles competing in its new Creators Custom Clash competition, a Europe-wide custom build project that sees content creators partner with authorised dealerships to put their own stamp on the firm's bikes.
The contest brings together creators from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands, with each entrant starting with a standard Harley-Davidson before turning it into a bespoke machine. The builds have been documented across social media throughout the process, giving followers a behind-the-scenes look at the design and construction stages.
Public voting is now open and will run until September 10, 2026. The six motorcycles will then be displayed together for the first time at European Bike Week in Faaker See, Austria, where the overall winner will be decided through a combination of public votes and judging from an expert panel.
The winning creator will take home the motorcycle they built.
France – Eskyas x Macadam Moto | Street Bob
French creator Eskyas has taken a relatively restrained approach with his Street Bob, focusing on refining the standard package rather than radically changing it.
The bike features lowered suspension, a wider 180-section rear tyre and a custom low-rise handlebar setup with bespoke cabling. Other changes include Kellerman ATTO indicators, a Screamin' Eagle Extreme Circle air cleaner and a Jekill & Hyde electronically controlled exhaust system. The finished machine is completed with hand-finished artwork and subtle red detailing throughout.
Italy – Jack NBC | Breakout
Italian creator Jack NBC has based his build around the Harley-Davidson Breakout, giving the cruiser a more aggressive and performance-focused identity.
Drawing on previous Harley custom projects, the bike combines styling revisions with upgraded components intended to sharpen both its visual impact and riding dynamics. Harley describes it as the most ambitious custom project undertaken by the creator to date.
Spain – Javier Gallardo | Low Rider
Named "Nómada", Javier Gallardo's Low Rider takes inspiration from traditional chopper culture while retaining modern hardware underneath.
Large multi-spoke wheels and an elongated stance define the bike's silhouette, while paintwork inspired by 1970s customs combines heritage colours with metallic finishes. A Jekill & Hyde exhaust system has been fitted, with the overall concept built around themes of travel, freedom and self-expression.
United Kingdom – Miles Langford | Street Bob
British tattoo artist Miles Langford has produced a Clubsport-inspired Street Bob that leans heavily towards performance upgrades.
The bike runs Screamin' Eagle and Öhlins suspension components, wider tyres, Arlen Ness brake hardware and a prototype Jekill & Hyde two-into-one exhaust. Kraus handlebars, BMX-style grips, modified bodywork and a Harley-Davidson fairing complete the package, while custom metalflake paintwork and gold-leaf detailing pay tribute to late Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington.
Netherlands – Arjan van den Boom | Street Bob
Ironwood Custom Motorcycles founder Arjan van den Boom has moved his Street Bob towards scrambler territory with a more rugged specification.
Raised suspension, a chain-drive conversion and Pirelli MT60 RS tyres alter both the stance and intended use of the bike. Performance upgrades include a Screamin' Eagle Vortex intake and Vance & Hines Upsweep exhaust, while the striking Ruby Stone Red finish has earned the bike the nickname "Pink Savage".
Germany – Pia Tillmann, Zicco Banach & Angelo Carlucci | Breakout
Germany's entry is a collaborative effort between creators Pia Tillmann, Zicco Banach and Angelo Carlucci, who have worked together on a highly stylised Breakout.
The custom features purple flame graphics, extensive chrome detailing and a grey leopard-print seat finished with purple stitching. A tall sissy bar adds to the bike's silhouette, while a Jekill & Hyde exhaust provides the soundtrack. The result blends traditional custom-bike styling cues with a more contemporary visual approach.
Voting for the Creators Custom Clash is now open through Harley-Davidson's online custom gallery, with the winner set to be announced during European Bike Week in September.
