Skateboard star Ryan Sheckler is no stranger to prepped Harley-Davidson bikes, but once tinkering has begun, it’s really hard to stop. So from time to time, getting in touch with bike customizers comes as natural as riding the bike itself, and Ryan is no exception to the rule.
The custom builder of choice was no other than Roland Sands. With the bike fully-loaded with RSD bolt-on parts, one could believe that things were kind of already enough. Still, Roland Sands found a way to add even more badass style to this Harley, so nifty updates were in line.
The first thing to be revised was the exhaust: Ryan Sheckler’s machine had been equipped with the RSD High Tracker system, but it looks like the bike was a tad too “scrambler”, with the straight, horizontal headers. The heat shields looked very good with their ageless drilled design, but it looks like they were not enough.
And since Roland and the TIG welder are the best of friends, the modifications were not exactly the hardest thing to do. New exhaust lines have been crafted with an updated design which goes around the engine and they now end with a RSD Slanted Carbon silencer, for more clearance through the bends.
A pair of Clarity Rockerbox Covers was also installed in place of the old ones and have become a nifty complement for the other existing machined parts. The skateboard rack is also maintained as a priced custom accessory and it looks like Ryan will be fine with his updated Harley… for a while.
