Bad Guy

By now, the all-black look has become so popular in the world of custom Harley-Davidson motorcycles (not to mention the automotive realm as well) that it takes something truly special to stand out in that massive crowd. Germany's Bündnerbike is certainly no stranger to churning out sweet-looking, blacked-out bikes these days, a list that includes this one - a super sweet Low Rider dubbed "Bad Guy."

Like a Villain

The Low Rider is already a pretty sharp looking ride to begin with, but Bundnerbike took this one to the next level in a visual sense with the right combination of upgrades, which makes the sinister, Milwaukee-Eight 117-powered ride look the part of a TV/movie villain.

In House

That process began by procuring a handful of parts from the aftermarket outfit's own bin, including the handlebars, a chassis upgrade, and a side-mounted number holder.

Other Upgrades

From there, Bündnerbike added a set of LED turn signals to complement the bike's headlight and taillight, along with upgraded Harley-Davidson grips and a footrest.

Total Blackout

They then topped that off with a custom seat and a blacked-out paint job from the folks at Ludwig, a color that coats every single surface, from the Low Rider's bodywork to its engine components, trim, and even the dark-tinted windshield.

Unleashing Sound

Though the bike's M8 powerplant didn't receive any major upgrades, Bundnerbike did add a Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde exhaust to make it sound better and unleash a little bit of extra power, but in all fairness, the 117 doesn't lack in that department to begin with.

Timeless Style

The result of that tasty combination of upgrades is a sweet-looking Softail that blends right in with the crowd when you want it to, yet is also a nice showpiece for cruise night. Plus, this sort of look will never go out of style, so the new owner can enjoy it for many years to come.
