Harley Scrambler and Street Tacker Mashup Defines Cool
This is how you stand out from the crowd in the world of custom bikes.
One of a Kind
These days, it certainly isn't easy to build custom Harleys that stand out from the rather massive crowd of talented folks that crank them out on a regular basis. However, some shops still manage to wow us, and we can count Lord Drake Kustoms - which is based out of both Spain and Miami - as one of them. As proof, just take a look at this amazing Sportster Scrambler and Street Tracker style mashup that's truly one of a kind.

Team Effort
This particular bike was put together at Lord Drake Kustoms' shop in Malaga, Spain, and has earned the nickname "BULTRACKER 47." However, we can credit not only the builder but also the owner for the vision to create such a unique and interesting ride, as he's been following Lord Drake for over seven years and had plenty of ideas on what he wanted them to build prior to the start of that process.

Same, but Different
The owner, Teddi, didn't want a cafe racer, bobber, or any other style bike - he was dead set on a scrambler, a look he fell in love with after seeing Lord Drake's build dubbed "Soulbreaker." At the same time, he wanted the bike to be unique and not simply copy that particular build, and they accomplished that with a unique cream and blue paint combination.

Motorsports Inspired
Teddi is a huge fan of vintage Harleys, which is what inspired that particular color choice, as it was commonly featured on a number of classic two-wheelers. The owner also chose to go with a fat rear tire and number roundrels, which give the bike more of a racing look, but in this case, solely for the street.

Vintage Vibes
Thus, a bike that started life as a stock 2005 Sportster 883 R is now a far cry from that look, a build that's decidedly vintage while also giving off a pure motorsports vibe that's extra appealing. However, in terms of performance upgrades, those are limited to a Roland Sands air filter and a 2-in-1 exhaust system.

Mixture of Parts
That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of other upgraded bits and pieces to be found within that custom bodywork, however, a list that includes an LDK air suspension, Digital Motogadget gauges, and a host of custom parts such as the fenders, seat, number plate, and fuel tank.

Room to Stand Out
Add it all up, and you've got one of the coolest and most unique Harley builds we've seen in a while - scrambler or otherwise. But above all, this build is proof that there's still room to stand out in the crowded world of custom bikes, so long as you have the right vision to begin with.
