Custom Harley-Davidson Unorthodox by Charlie Stockwell

A constant attraction for all bike owners, customizing has always been an important part of the motorcycling business. Some bikes go through some tweaks here and there, and some bikes go through extreme modifications, but regardless the changes made they all manage to offer their viewers the same feeling of freedom each two-wheeled ride does.

So is the case with the project we’re presenting here, a custom luxury creation by designer Charlie Stockwell of Warr's H-D in London, Europe's oldest Harley dealership.

Dubbed 'Unorthodox', the bike is being described as a “breath taking cocktail of chrome and carbon fibre. Neo-vintage styling. No leather or tassels on this Harley.” What is really interesting about this machine is that nearly everything is hand-made by Stockwell himself.

Based on a Harley-Davidson Fatboy, Stockwell stripped down the bike leaving just the engine and chassis. The oil tank was removed from beneath the seat and the chassis re-shaped to drop the solid one-of-a-kind carbon fibre solo saddle to an extreme slammed ride height.

Other highlights of the Unorthodox include a new oil tank, high-low dual exhaust system, MotoGP spec Ohlins front forks, custom made CNC triple trees and Brembo monobloc calipers.

In addition, the new tuned 113ci Screamin'Eagle H-D Engine has been treated with glossy black powder coat. Also, carbon fibre, race style clip-on handlebars are fitted with Performance Machine controls to match the huge wheels wrapped in Metzeler rubber, 3" open primary drive and foot controls.

The Unorthodox will be waiting in the Warr's showroom until the summer when its owner will take delivery, but stay tuned for from Warr's and Stockwell in the coming weeks.
