If a vampire became a motorcycle, it would almost certainly be in the BAT NIGHTROD; a Harley Davidson Night Rod customized by Lord Drake Kustoms in his Harley workshop in Miami.
In motorcycle companies dedicated to the custom bikes sector, it’s very normal to almost always work with the same line and style of custom motorcycles. In Lord Drake Kustoms, as seen once again, it’s not so. From a Bagger to a Cafe Racer or Scrambler motorcycle, from a Harley Vrod to a classic Japanese motorcycle… anything with two wheels is KUSTOMIZABLE!
An old Harley Night Rod in disrepair
This time, the chosen one was a Harley Davidson Vrod Nightrod of the year 2005 who was in a bad state. Its owner (a prestigious child surgeon, resident in Miami) wanted to return his Vrod to a more decent state and loved the color black … then the idea of “BAT” emerged: simple, elegant and striking.
At the same time the owner wanted to keep the essence of the machine, the bike had to look like a Vrod, but to another level! For Fran Manen (owner of Lord Drake Kustoms in Miami) was already clear and it was time to start working.
The process of customizing this Harley Night Rod
LDK, modified the original front fender and built a new cover for the air filter to embed the clocks. Also, he installed an original 240-wheel rear wheel kit and replaced the turrets to give a more comfortable ride. Finally, this two-wheeled vampire emerged … “BAT Nigthrod“

After the first two motorcycles transformed for the Harley Davidson Siebla dealer in Malaga (a Sportster Scramblerand a Sportster Cafe Racer), the official Harley dealer asked Lord Drake Kustoms for a third custom Harley. This time to compete in the “Battle of the Kings Harley Davidson 2015”.
On this occasion, the owner of Siebla Málaga, told Fran Manen, that they wanted to transform a Harley for the “Battle of the Kings” contest and that the base of the bike would be a Harley Davidson Sportster 883 Iron of 2015.
The idea was to customize this motorcycle without hardly using accessories from other brands (the vast majority had to be original Harley Davidson accessories) and the work had to be also within an economic limit; rules that apparently did not respect much of the participants of this contest.
Fran Manen picked up the Sportster Iron at the Harley Davidson dealerfrom Malaga and transferred it to his motorcycle and transformation workshop. Once there, he decided to take it apart and think about how he would transform that Harley… He finally decided to make a Sportster Cafe Racer.
Modifications for this Sportster Cafe Racer
Clubman handlebar, Cafe Racer type rear seat made of fiber, and above all an elegant and detailed airbrushing and painting job on motorcycles like this one; They made the modification of this Harley Sportster end up resulting in an authentic Sportster Cafe Racer.
It is worth highlighting the work powder paint done by Metal Colors in quantity of black and gold details, in parts such as the rims, Screaming Eagle air filter, Harley Davidson grips, etc.
Once finished, this motorcycle transformed with style Cafe Racer without losing its essence Sportster, was exhibited at the Harley Davidson Siebla store on Avenue Dr. Gálvez Ginachero, 9 in Malaga.
