If it weren’t for the sound of its engine, you’d probably miss this Harley-Davidson Street Bob passing by through a dark alley somewhere, on a moonless night. And once you’ve realized it’s there, you’d probably be at least startled by its shape.
Like most other custom projects of its kind, the machine went through an extreme makeover, receiving a wealth of custom bits. D-Star itself, aside from coming up with the general design, was responsible for making and fitting stuff like the air cleaner on top of which a K&N filter was slapped, the radiator grille, the seat pan fitted with a Bitwell seat, and the belt guard.
The proud-and-mean looking machine is no longer featured on the custom builder’s website, and we’re also not told how much the thing cost to put together, but as a reference, the stock Street Bob is available on the UK market with a starting price of close to 14,000 pounds, which would be a little over $19,000 at today’s exchange rates.
The ape handlebar up front is accompanied by a fork blackout kit supplied by Cult-Werk, Vance & Hines is responsible for the fuel pack and the mini grenades meant to give the motorcycle a more pronounced growl, while the fuel tank comes from Harley itself, being sourced, we're told, from a Sportster.

As per D-Star the changes seen on this bike (sadly, only a handful of photos are available) can be recreated on other bikes, and the group promises to have all the custom work completed before a brand new bike is shipped to the customer.
