IRON 1925... Back to the past

IRON 1925... Back to the past with a Harley and a modern performance twist!

The „IRON 1925“ is perfect proof of how Fran Manen (world-renowned Spanish customizer and owner of Lord Drake Kustoms) combines art, passion and engineering to create motorcycles that are far more than mere vehicles. These bikes are true collector's items - with soul.

With Lord Drake Kustoms has specialized in converting and customizing Harleys, and with the new project „IRON 1925“ they once again show what is possible when you combine attention to detail and top quality.

The basis was a 2018 Sportster Iron 883, Inspired by the classic Harley models from 1925, the bike combines vintage style with modern performance, offering a unique experience for custom bike fans.

Fran Manen himself says:

„Our mission is to turn normal motorcycles into true works of art on two wheels - the ‚IRON 1925‘ is the best example of this. The bike was customized down to the smallest detail in our specialized Harley workshop in Spain.“

First Fran reconfigured the seating position - a mix of comfort and classic style. Then came new wheels with spokes and vintage-inspired tires that make the design even more authentic. Black rims provide the perfect accent.

The design of this retro vintage Harley is based on the 1920s: an olive green paint finish combined with black and red decorative stripes, reminiscent of the early Harley-Davidson machines. The classic Harley logo in red has also been painted onto the custom tank in true style.

Other highlights? A handmade leather seat, details such as the license plate holder on the front fender, a vintage speedometer from Motogadget and a modified exhaust system. The sound and performance are modern, but the look is beautifully retro.

Unique Harleys: personality meets passion and technology

This special project was realized for a customer from Portugal. And as with every bike from the Lord Drake Kustoms forge, the same applies here: It is not only an eye-catcher, but also absolutely suitable for everyday use.

At Lord Drake Kustoms, they know that a motorcycle always reflects the personality of its owner. That's why they work closely with their customers to build unique bikes that are 100 % to their individual style. The Harley-Davidson Iron 883, aka „IRON 1925“, shows what is possible when creativity, technical know-how and pure passion come together.
