London based custom Harley-Davidson designer Charlie Stockwell of Warr’s Harley-Davidson,Europe’s oldest Harley dealership, introduces his latest creation ‘Unorthodox’. It’s a striking distance from the designs we areused to from Stockwell and Warr’s H-D. Best known for his award winning andtrend setting vintage designs, no-one was expecting such a bike to be wheeledout of the Warr’s workshop on the King’s Road in the heart of Chelsea.

He dared to break tradition and did exactly that. A breath taking cocktail of chrome andcarbon fibre. Neo-vintage styling. No leather or tassels on thisHarley. Nearly everything on ‘Unorthodox’ is hand made byStockwell himself. The original Harley-Davidson Fatboy was stripped down leaving just the engineand chassis. The oil tank was removed from beneath the seat and the chassisre-shaped to drop the solid one-of-a-kind carbon fibre solo saddle to an extremeslammed ride height. A new oil tank was fabricated to fit inside the original,tear-drop shaped, Fatboy fuel tank. Stockwell crafted the high-low dual exhaustsystem which rather cleverly houses the rear lights in the carbon mufflers.
Toenhance the bikes fierce stance only a pair of MotoGP spec Ohlins front forkswill do. It doesn’t stop there, custom made CNC triple trees mount the forks tothe frame. Brembo monobloc calipers are fitted to deal with the brute force ofthe new tuned 113ci Screamin’Eagle H-D Engine which has been treated with glossyblack powder coat and the cooling fins Diamond Cut for a show sparkle. Carbonfibre, race style clip-on handlebars are fitted with Performance Machinecontrols to match the huge wheels wrapped in Metzeler rubber, 3″ open primarydrive and foot controls.
Unorthodox will be on display in the Warr’sshowroom on the King’s Road in London until the summer when its lucky owner willtake delivery. There is more to come form Warr’s and Stockwell in the comingweeks when we will see his next entry into the Custom Bike World Championship atthe end of May.
