It's so nice to see builders such as Roland Sands happily posting cool pictures with their customers' most awesome bikes! This time is Aussie Lee Oakley and his custom, RSD-loaded 2004 Harley-Davidson Softail Deuce.
Now, even though some H-D fans may be a bit offended, the standard 2004 Softail Deuce is a rather dull bike with almost nothing really special, and taking a look at Lee's build, should say pretty much all there is to say on this: it's only natural he wanted something else from his bike, isn't it?
Lee asked his friend Darryl Farnon of Farnon Fabrications to help him breathe new life into the bike, and the result is simply glorious. Since Darryl already had a lot of experience with modding H-Ds, it was fairly easy to include Lee's personal ideas and change the old Softail into a dream beast.
And to get a better idea on how different is now Lee's machine, here are some of the modifications, straight from Roland Sands.
