Harley Breakout Build Inspired by Snakes

Smooth Criminal

When we search for cool custom bikes, we don't just limit that search to the U.S., as one might imagine. Truth is, there are lots of builders all across the globe doing cool things with Harley-Davidsons, and that includes the Polish outfit Nine Hills Motorcycles, which recently cranked out this awesome custom Breakout dubbed "Criminal."

Rolling Billboard

It's unclear where, exactly, the inspiration for the name "Criminal" came from, but that's just semantics. In reality, this Breakout is one cool piece of kit, and a nice rolling billboard for the kind of work that Nine Hills is capable of doing, many miles away from Harley's home in Milwaukee.

Work of Art

One of the most stunning visual aspects of this build is its exhaust system, which is a true work of art. With a multi-colored look and some masterfully exposed welding, it's the sort of thing that you'll find yourself staring at for an inordinate amount of time, and that's a good thing.

Color Combination

As for the rest of the bike, it's finished in a combination of green hues and some black accents, lending it a truly modern, head-turning appearance. Custom graphics adorn every panel present on this build, giving it a high-tech, futuristic look that's right at home at any sort of show.

Added Bits

Nine Hills also added a host of aftermarket parts to upgrade the appearances of this custom Breakout, including an air suspension, Roland Sands engine housings, Performance Machine wheels, and a custom headlight, to name a few.

Stock Powerplant

The brakes were also upgraded to help this bike slow down a bit more effectively, but it seems as if Nine Hills left the engine alone, save for the aforementioned exhaust upgrade. A BDL clutch was added to help the rider cycle through the gears a bit more effectively, however.

Stand Out

Altogether, this Breakout is a stunning thing to look at, and that was the real goal here. It's quite clear by looking at it that a lot of thought was put into this build, and that vision and hard work paid off with one of the more unique custom Breakouts we've seen in some time.
