Dr.Jekill & Mr.Hyde Thunderbolt NLC Night Rod

Power and performance are the attributes of the Night Rod. That's exactly what Jekill and Hyde when designing the new Thunderbolt complete exhaust system for the Night Rod. The most important criteria were to ensure a crisp look and full night rod power even when the exhaust system is closed. In deep black and with its own manifold, with heat shields and crisply short pipes, the exhaust system underlines the look of the bike and can be mounted precisely with specially made holders on all bikes with a standard swing arm and max. 280 tires. In order to present the whole thing and pack it into a package, No-Limit-Custom and Jekill & Hyde are working together on the Thunderbolt project to put a cool promo bike on the wheels. The aggressive look of the NLC parts fits exactly with the style of the exhaust system and so NLC to the night rod . The front fender, rear fender and almost all add-on parts were removed and replaced with parts from NLC, which can easily be replaced with the original due to their perfect fit.

The NLC team chose a set of rims from their own production that are as precise as they are visually sophisticated. In order not to destroy the look, the brake discs were also chosen from NLC to match the rims and for the crisp and aggressive front, the team installed NLC handlebars with risers . A height-adjustable chassis is used at the rear so that the bike sits flat on the ground at trade fairs. The radiator cover and the seat also fell victim to the radical treatment and were replaced with parts that visually matched the style. After NLC had completed the conversion work, the scraper machine was used, with Danny given the instructions to stick to the company colors and the “adjustable exhaust” . He took up the theme, painted mufflers with the gas flow of the Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde system and designed the bright parts on the bike in the style of exhaust insulation material, which fits the theme 100%. In the end, Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde Team put the new Thunderbolt exhaust on the Night Rod, which gives the bike a cool performance and sounds correspondingly deep. The adjustable exhaust system is 100% legal in automatic mode and can also be driven completely closed. A “Race only” mode is available for the drag strip or for testing, which gives the engine performance even more power. Since then, the Night Rod has been the most popular bike in the company, with employees happy to ride it to one more trade fair than planned.
