Our Highlights

JANUARY: Flying Bob & Strike Line

Our year kicks off with two cruisers in a class of their own: the Flying Bob with its timeless bobber look and the Strike Line, which offers a striking contrast with its panniers and fairing. Two bikes, two characters—and both ready to write their own story.

FEBRUARY: EL Sicario

In February, we tried to awaken the first feelings of summer with bright colors on the Chicano conversion.

MARCH: Dortmund, Shadow Rider, Deadwood, Black Reaper

In March, we kicked things off at the Motorcycle Fair in Dortmund, where we presented the new models together with André Jäger.

Then it was straight back to our custom conversions: Shadow Rider, the Breakout conversion that will conquer the roads of Italy in the future.

Deadwood with bolt-on rear fender and Flip-2 handlebars – a bike that already had a few miles under its belt – as well as the Black Reaper in an uncompromising all-black look.

APRIL: Royal Purple, Demo Ride-Out, Kick-Off, Refresher Course

April got off to a flying start – with several highlights. The Royal Purple kicked things off with our 25th Anniversary bikes. Elegant paintwork, powerful appearance – an absolute eye-catcher. It wasn’t long before we took our first ride: we grabbed our current demo bikes, broke them in for the season, and got our first real taste of the open road.

Shortly afterwards came our kick-off – one of the top events of the year and a must for all custom fans. Together with fellow bikers, we took a tour through the Lower Rhine region before relaxing and ending the day with great music from Regatta de Blanc. And we also took care of those getting back into biking: we provided bikes to help some of them get back on the road.

MAY: EURO-Festival,Red Bullet

We used May for our tour to the Euro Festival – with lots of exciting stops along the route. At the same time, the Red Bullet was created in our workshop: a massive Road Glide conversion with a 23″ front wheel and Atlas handlebars.

JUNE: Jokerfest, Rooftop Vibes

June was all about our 40th anniversary – and it was a resounding success. The BossHoss created a real festival atmosphere at the Jokerfest. We went on a trip together, which we rounded off with a relaxing cold beer before the guys gave their all on stage.

Fans of electronic music also got their money’s worth: one of our popular rooftop parties was a must, of course.

ROOFTOP-VIBES

JULY: Radical Viper, Don-Performance, Rumble und Thunder, Suzuka

July was all about extremes. The Road Glide CVO ST, which we converted for Don Performance, was put through its paces on the race track. The GP Suzuka also impressively demonstrated just how much genuine GP DNA a Harley can have.

At Rumble & Thunder, both chopper fans and US car enthusiasts got their money’s worth. And with the Radical Viper, we once again put our Radical fork where it belongs: on the road.

AUGUST: Shimmy IV, Ruhrpott Meeting, Crossout

August saw us continue with full energy. Both the Shimmy IV with its striking military look and the Crossout with its unusual paintwork were more than impressive. As usual, we also took part in the Harley Ruhrpott Meeting, which we were able to combine with a lovely ride.

SEPTEMBER: Faak, Lion Bleu

And like every year, September took us to European Bike Week in Faak. We spent our days there on extended tours through the mountains and a detour to the Italian coast. In Faak, we also presented our 40th Anniversary Bike – a real highlight of our anniversary year.

It was an exciting month all round, with the Lion Bleu making yet another strong statement.

NOVEMBER: Weissach, Halfhundred, Raven Runner

November was all about going full throttle—the final modifications for the Custombike trade fair were due, and we gave it our all once again with three special bikes.

Weissach – an uncompromising GP conversion based on Breakout, developed as the perfect counterpart to its owner’s GT3 RS.
Halfunded – a Fat Boy conversion that became a real eye-catcher with champagne-colored details.
And last but not least, the Raven Runner – a Street Glide Helix conversion with a 21″ front wheel and Flip-2 handlebars.

November/Dezember: Custombike Show, Trooper, Golden-Strike

The Custombike Show in Bad Salzuflen was the final event of the year – the meeting place for all custom bike enthusiasts. We were able to complete our Razor Trooper just in time for the show: a breakout conversion with our new Pro Performance swing arm for a 260 rear tire.

Thank you for an unforgettable 2025 – here’s to 2026 and another legendary Thunderbike season.
