H-D Meets F1 With DP Customs “del Rey”

Nope, this bike has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings or Dungeons & Dragons.

The Elf on the tank references a bizarre, if not exactly mythical, creature which raced in F1 nearly four decades ago. The “del Rey” takes styling cues from ’70s Elf F1 livery—fortunately, there are no extra wheels—and paired them with a 1200cc Evo engine.  And while Formula 1 and Harley-Davidson might have as much in common as kittens and hand grenades, props to DP Customs for bringing the two worlds together with this killer bike.

I think the French Racing Blue paint makes the frame pop, and the beefy Brembo brakes will bring everything to a halt quickly. Check out all the pics below.
