Heritage Softail Build Features Some Cool Retro Cues

Slimmer Ride

Of the many, many custom bike shops out there in the world, the Poland-based Nine Hills routinely cranks out some of the coolest rides of the bunch. We've featured our fair share of unique builds from this particular outfit in the past, but couldn't resist the opportunity to do so once again when we came across this nice, subtle Heritage Softail build dubbed "Slimmer."

Keeping It Simple

This particular bike started life as a 2009 Heritage Softail, but is now a far cry from those OEM roots. Nine Hills went for the bobber look here, and in this case, it didn't try to reinvent the wheel. Rather, it went straight for a traditional bobber look, which lends itself well to this retro-themed model.

Minimalist Approach

That means, of course, taking a bit of a minimalistic approach, with tiny fenders and massive, balloon-like tires, and just the right combination of custom bits and pieces to set it apart from the crowd. Looking at this build, it's quite clear that's precisely what Nine Hills has accomplished.

Nice Contrast

With big tires, a blacked-out motor, and just the right amount of bodywork, this Heritage Softail really gains some contrast with its matte green paint job and corresponding star logo, which gives off military vibes. That look is perfectly accented by the tan leather seat, side bag, and tank covering as well.

Nice Looking Cruiser

Throw in a yellow headlight, and you've got a pretty sweet combination that's quite pleasing to the eye. Nine Hills didn't provide any additional information regarding mechanical upgrades here, but for someone that simply wants a nice-looking cruiser to ride around on, they certainly nailed it in that department.
