Bundnerbike Builds One Sweet Softail Slim S
This custom Harley-Davidson Softail Slim S from Bundnerbike is one of the shop's coolest builds yet.
Radical Elegance
Of all the many custom motorcycle shops around the globe, Bundnerbike has earned a solid reputation for churning out some of the most unique - and oftentimes coolest - builds of the bunch. We've featured our fair share of bikes from this German outfit over the years, and we couldn't resist bringing you yet another one - this custom Softail Slim S that the shop calls "Radical Elegance."

Stretched Out
This particular build started life as a 2017 Softail Slim S, but little of that bike remains. Rather, Bundnerbike has reinvented it from front to rear, starting with a longer frame to stretch things out, which also gives it a rather unique look that we simply don't see very often.

Visually Interesting
From there, a massive 300-series rear tire gives this Softail the proper hot rod look that will simply never go out of style, and it's a perfect match for the bike's stealthy black finish - which includes both gloss paint and a host of matte elements for a bit of visual interest.

Purposeful Looks
Even the exhaust is matte black, giving the Softail the ever-popular "murdered out" look, as the kids like to call it. A minimalist seat gives off vibes of simpler times, when bikes were meant to be uncomfortable and offensive to onlookers, which we certainly appreciate.

Raked Stance
Up front, an Ohlins fork gives the Softail a nicely raked stance, which is also a bit of a throwback to the old days of custom Harleys. Overall, there isn't really much not to like about Radical Elegance - a custom build that lives up to its nickname, if nothing else.
