Hey Guys,

I figured it was time to go ahead and post up my build that I have been working on since the end of last summer. As a few of you know I fell ill which delayed things but Ive been doing my best to bounce back. With 2013 brings a new project "DarkRod".

1. New Custom Airbox ( Kele Design )
2. 300 Kit Factory Widen (Thanks Always)
3. Brand new wheels (never seen on a Vrod before) Renegade Wheels PDJ Rapture
4. Reflective Red Carbon Fiber ( New Age Material Never seen before)
5. Rizoma Mirrors
7. MS Bike Tec Dag Bars
8. Ms Bike Tec Risers
9. Kellerman Dark Bar end turn signals
10. Custom modifed Muscle rear (Dark Alley Designz)
11. Custom Rizoma Pulley Cover & Insert
12. Custom Seat
13. Fork Covers
14. Translucent Malbec Paint Job (Matches my G37)
15. Powder Coated Calipers (Mirror Black)
16. Custom headlight w/ H4 Conversion w/ Porsche Panamera Shroud
17. Custom 2-2 Euro Inspired Exhaust (Toxic Choppers)
18. Legend Air Ride (w/ handle bar controls)
19. (secret project)

There is much more to come but that will be for the 2nd update! For now I will give an update on the progress. The build is now being completed by Dark Alley Designs to see some of their work google (cursed bike)

I contacted Pasi owner of Kele Design at the end of the summer and had them send me the very 1st production piece before they sent it over to Ride Hard Rod. Once received it had a few stress cracks from shipping so I sent it over to Mike over at Dark Alley Designz along with my stock muscle rear for surgery and some new fiberglass love. Mike reinforced the airbox and chopped the fender widening it to accommodate the new 300 rear along with removing 6 inchs in length.

Let the mods begin

After priming all components they went out to Carbon Fiber Element. The owner Tony does exceptional work with CF, I had him cover my entire interior on my 2012 G37. So this project was something new for him but as of yesterday the project is moving along nicely. I couldn't wait any longer and it was time to post!

Those wheels are tits! Been wondering if anyone has ever tried the the carbon fiber cover-up. Now I know the answer. Or even if anyone has done hydrographics water printing. I thought a black/gray carbon fiber look would be pretty pimp. The reflective red will be extremely cool outside. Can't wait to see those pics!
Thanks man, Ive never seen anyone cover with carbon fiber. The reflective carbon took a few months to receive but worth the wait.


looking good there! hope to see it next time im in Chi-town
Thanks Simon! No doubt, just txt me next time your coming to town. Tell you boy he'll have to come out for drinks and we will meet downtown this time! Hahaha

are the airboxs available without gauges in them, i like it but gauges in cover wont fit on my bike.

Bike is going to look awesome
No I dont think so at least I havent seen them.

You can contact Pasi pasi@keledesign.fi

Tell him that Rico from this forums referred you, he would probably be willing to make you something one off.

your bike looks pretty good so far. cant wait to see the final product. that crotch rocket is hideous tho
Hahaha I dont like that bike but you gotta respect design elements.

The entire body is hand laid fiberglass,
The head lights are Audi Q7 LED's placed perfectly to create a full light spectrum beam and much more.

Its his attention to detail that grasped my attention. I hate crotch rockets but thats why I wanted to see what he could with a real bike!
