Guildford Harley-Davidson's customs
Guildford Harley Davidson might not be the first place you think of when it comes to one-off custom built Harleys but sales manager Mike Noble and team at the Surrey based dealer are hoping these two newly built modified fat boys could change that.
The blue and silver modded Fat Boy special belongs to David Ranson whose passion for Harleys was fuelled when his wife organised a Fat Boy rental for him.

Harley Davidson 2010 Honda Fury
Straddling the Honda Fury for the first time, a rider is greeted by surprisingly hospitable ergonomics. My 5-foot-8 bod appreciated the modest reach to the handlebars and the secure footing provided by the low 26.7-inch seat height.
Honda understands vehicle dynamics like no other, and hard numbers reveal objective data. But for cruisers/choppers, style is king, and this is judged purely by subjective criteria. “It had to be number one”
• Frame: The requisite chopper stance is provided by the tall steering head. Frame tubes, nicely color-matched, are on full display, especially at the triangulated steering head. “The negative space is very important,”
• Fuel tank: Tanks are a focal point of any motorcycle, and here Honda has hit it out of the park. Its sculpted design sitting high atop the frame’s backbone tube looks sensational, made extra distinctive by its character lines that gently arch as they run down the flanks. It ranks as among the prettiest fuel cells ever fitted to a production bike.
• Wheels: The multi-faceted nine-spoke front wheel looks sensational, especially the right side where it’s not obstructed by a brake rotor.
• Fender: A close-fitting fender that wraps tightly around the radius of a front tire is fairly uncommon in the realm of production bikes. The Fury’s is lovely.
• Headlight: Chrome, of course, and jutting proudly into the wind with a gentle arch and a subtle eyebrow.
• Engine: Creating a liquid-cooled motor and having its attendant plumbing look clean is incredibly difficult. Honda packaged the unobtrusive radiator neatly between the frame’s dual downtubes, and the radiator hose leading to the forward cylinder is cleverly concealed beneath the valve cover in a patented arrangement.
