Inspired by the name, BBC aimed to make the V-Rod appear as if it’s floating on air. To achieve this, they equipped it with a high-end air ride suspension kit offering adjustable height via an electronic control unit. Paired with a widened rear wheel, smoothed out fenders, and low profile saddle, the bike has an incredibly low, smooth silhouette when dropped to the floor. The white pearl paint job perfectly complements the desired airy aesthetic.
In addition to the airride and paint, BBC added numerous premium parts to style and performance. The front end features drag style handlebars, billet aluminum bar end tips, a shortened front fender, and smoothsetBoldged blinkers. The rear houses a widened 10-inch wheel, smoothed rear fender, side-mounted license plate, and 2-into-2 exhaust system. The addition of various billet aluminum covers streamlines the frame and finishes off the high-end look.
BBC films all their custom builds to showcase the meticulous process of transforming a stock motorcycle into a functional work of art. The video highlights the pristine craftsmanship in applying the flawless white pearl paint accented by subtle silver pinstriping. Paired with cinematic shots of the completed bike floating across the shop floor, it allows viewers to fully admire this rolling sculpture from all angles. The camera work does justice to the visual impact of the bike itself – a feast for the eyes.
The “White Pearl 280” shows off BBC’s constant quest to innovate and push boundaries. The expert metal crafting, engineering, and vision come together to deliver a showbike that makes a bold statement. While certainly not a practical street cruiser, this custom V-Rod exists to highlight the possibilities that open up when cost is no constraint and creativity given free reign. It expands perceptions of what a Harley can be with enough skill and commitment to excellence.
Bad Boy Customs continues to cement their status as one of Europe’s elite custom Harley shops. Each new project endeavors to raise the bar and explore never-before-seen designs. The “White Pearl 280” V-Rod demonstrates their steady progress towards more advanced builds integrating technology, specialty fabrication and expert paint application. As BBC evolves their craft, excitement builds for what they will unveil next.
