Sportster S Dubbed 'Draker' Is a Real Standout
Lord Drake Kustoms does it again with this wicked custom Harley-Davidson Sportster S.
Another One
Lord Drake Kustoms routinely cranks out some pretty impressive custom motorcycles, and we've also featured more than our fair share of impressive builds from the Spanish company that also has a physical presence in Miami. However, we'd be remiss if we didn't shine some light on this amazing Sportster S build as well, which the outfit has nicknamed "Draker."

Fat Tire
Once a muscular cruiser, this Sportster S has been transformed into a race-inspired build, and the results truly speak for themselves. However, the idea started with something far simpler - the owner wanted LDK to fit a 240-series wheel and a fat tire on the rear of his bike, which at that time, no one had done yet.

Happy to Oblige
As one might have guessed by now, the shop was happy to oblige and make it happen, while also transforming the look of the rest of the bike to match that newly aggressive piece of rubber and its spoked wheels. However, there are many more modifications here worth lulling over, too.

Front End
Up front, this Sportster S was also treated to a new set of lower, sportier handlebars, along with a modified front mudguard, new turn signal indicators, and a small mask designed to protect the headlight from flying rocks and other objects.

Adding Contrast
Moving down the side, we get a better look at the bike's custom seat with diamond stitching, along with a custom lower piece bearing the LDK acronym and a two-in-one exhaust system that's finished in black for a bit of contrast.

Matching Pair
The build is capped off by a striking combination of Harley Orange paintwork combined with pearl white and black and magnesium brown detailing and pinstriping. The wheels were also painted to match and feature brown spokes and orange rims with 1250 graphics on the rear rim in black.

Unique Build
Altogether, this Sportster S is certainly a unique-looking build, and one that isn't likely to be replicated anywhere else. Adding a bit of sport bike flair to this particular model actually paid off in this case, even though the owner was only initially interested in fitting as fat a tire as possible out back.
