SPRINGER OLD SCHOOL
The vast majority of opinions and reviews about Lord Drake Kustoms’ motorcycles and work tend to highlight the diversity of styles and custom motorcycles we make, ensuring that no two are alike, and this new Harley-Davidson called “Springer Old School” is proof of that.
According to Fran Manen (owner of LDK), this customized Harley, built in his bobber workshop in Malaga, Spain, isn’t just a cosmetic transformation; it’s a statement of principles that combines the rebellious spirit of the past with the elegance of the present. It’s a Harley Softail with a vintage soul, but with finishes, details, and mechanics that honor the highest standards of modern custom motorcycles.
A work of art on two wheels
At first glance, this Harley-Davidson captivates with its Old School Bobber style, featuring clean lines, classic finishes, and carefully selected components. The base of the project is a 2006 Harley Softail Heritage Springer Classic with a twin-cam engine and springer-style front suspension, a design reminiscent of the American brand’s earliest motorcycles and today a symbol of exclusivity and tradition.
MODIFICATIONS
Among the highlights of this custom transformation by LDK is the perforated, handcrafted leather seat, mounted on springs to maintain the essence of the first Bobber bikes (matching saddlebag and roll). The tank has been redesigned and crafted in the purest retro style, painted ivory white with black details and the iconic Harley-Davidson logo, reminiscent of the golden decades of motorcycling; as have the front and rear fenders.

The chrome wheels draw attention with their thick spoke design, highlighting the 200-gauge rear tire and the 21-inch diameter of the front, evoking old-school custom bikes and reinforcing the elegant and classic character of the whole. Furthermore, the exhaust system and air filter have been carefully selected and mirror-chromed to offer a sleek yet powerful appearance.
Painting and finishes
The combination of chrome, gloss black, and cream white finishes, along with the brown leather seat, creates a visual balance that will captivate any classic motorcycle enthusiast. Not a single component hasn’t been customized: from the controls and the wood-effect grips, to the minimalist lighting, to the vintage-style Motgadget speedometer.
What do those who see it say?
The opinions and reviews Lord Drake Kustoms has received for this Old School Harley-Davidson Springer on social media and specialized forums leave no doubt: this is one of the most attractive customizations available today. Users highlight the faithfulness to the Old School style, the level of detail in the execution, and the successful combination of classic and modern elements.

Many have expressed their desire to have a similar machine in their garage, which is no surprise, as this custom build is a one-of-a-kind piece.
Heading to Dubai
This particular model won’t be staying in Spain. It was custom-designed for a client in Dubai, a market where luxury motorcycles and high-end customization are booming. The Springer Old School represents a perfect fusion of the American dream and the demands of Arabian luxury, and that’s why it will undoubtedly become one of the most coveted jewels of the desert.
Exporting these types of motorcycles not only demonstrates Lord Drake Kustoms’ international reach, but also consolidates its reputation as a leading workshop worldwide in the world of customs. The opinions and reviews of its international customers support this: when it comes to exclusivity, style, and quality, few names inspire such trust.
This “Springer Old School” isn’t just a customized motorcycle; it’s a collector’s item, a tribute to the past, and a sure bet for the future. Its destination in Dubai only confirms that good taste and passion for two wheels know no boundaries. And if there’s one thing everyone who’s seen it knows for sure, it’s that this bike is built to stand out… wherever its engine roars.
