Creators Custom Clash: Online Voting Has Begun

Online voting for the Creators Custom Clash has begun. Harley-Davidson has unveiled the six bikes that will compete against each other in this Europe-wide contest. The contest highlights custom culture and, with it, the tradition of customization that has always been closely associated with the brand.

The focus is on six European content creators. Each of them, in collaboration with their regional Harley-Davidson authorized dealer, transformed a stock model into a one-of-a-kind custom bike. The participants documented the entire customization process on their social media channels, from the initial idea through the implementation to the finished bike.

An Overview of the Six Renovations

France, Eskyas x Macadam Moto, Street Bob

With his Street Bob, Eskyas takes a deliberately minimalist approach that preserves the motorcycle’s original character while purposefully refining it. A custom-made flat and narrow handlebar with matching cables, a subtly lowered suspension (20 mm in the rear, 5 mm in the front), and a wide 180-series rear tire ensure more agile handling. These are complemented by parts from the H-D Redline Collection, Kellermann Atto micro turn signals, a Screamin’ Eagle Extreme Circle air filter, and the electronically controlled exhaust system from Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde. Handcrafted design elements give the bike its own unique touch.

Italy, Jack NBC, Breakout

Jack NBC reimagines the Breakout with a bold, performance-oriented style. The build combines aggressive styling with contemporary creativity. Drawing on his extensive experience in customization, the Italian builder enhanced the bike with select components and striking visual contrasts. By his own account, it is his most ambitious project to date.

Spain, Javier Gallardo, Low Rider

Javier Gallardo calls his interpretation of the Low Rider “Nómada.” Its defining features are the large spoked wheels and the elongated silhouette. The paint job draws on design elements from the 1970s and combines classic colors with glittering accents to create a retro look. An exhaust system from Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde blends classic V-twin sound with modern technology.

United Kingdom, Miles Langford, Street Bob

Tattoo artist Miles Langford has modeled his Street Bob after the club sport scene. Features include Screamin’ Eagle x Öhlins suspension components, wider tires, Arlen Ness Big Brake rotors, and a 2-in-1 exhaust system from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Kraus handlebars and BMX-inspired grips draw on influences from Langford’s youth. The elaborate paint job—featuring metallic flames over gold-leaf stripes—deserves special attention; it’s a tribute to the late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington.

Netherlands, Arjan van den Boom, Street Bob

"Pink Savage" is the name of the Street Bob built by Arjan van den Boom, founder of Ironwood Custom Motorcycles. The build emphasizes the stance of a scrambler in the style of a modern custom bike. A raised suspension, conversion to a chain drive, and Pirelli MT60 RS tires give it a compact look. It also features a Screamin’ Eagle Vortex Extreme air filter and a Vance & Hines Upsweep exhaust system. The Ruby Stone Red paint job adds a bold accent.

Germany, Pia Tillmann, Zicco Banach, and Angelo Carlucci, Breakout

The German team—Pia Tillmann, Zicco Banach, and Angelo Carlucci—brings its vision to life in an expressive Breakout. Purple “Flames” graphics, chrome accents, and a gray seat with a leopard print and purple decorative stitching create a striking look. The tall sissy bar makes a design statement while also enhancing the bike’s everyday practicality. An exhaust system from Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde provides the sound.

Here's How Voting Works

All six custom bikes are now available for viewing and rating online. Online voting will run through September 10, 2026. The competition will culminate during European Bike Week at Lake Faaker See in Austria, which takes place from September 8 to 13, 2026. All six motorcycles will be presented together there for the first time.

The overall winner will then be determined by a combined score from a panel of experts and online voting. The winner will receive the Harley-Davidson custom bike they designed and built themselves as a prize. Click here to view the gallery and vote: h-dcustomgallery.com.
