A custom Harley-Davidson Softail called "Babylon," built by Francisco Ali Manen of Spain's Lord Drake Kustoms, was featured on Bike EXIF. The award-winning build takes a bolder, more adventurous approach than usual.
I fall for builds like this — bold ones that don't retreat into playing it safe. Lord Drake's 'Babylon' doesn't kill the Softail's character; it's assembled with a clear understanding of exactly where and how to modify it to make it transform. Winning an award isn't for show. See the real thing in person and you'll feel the builder's conviction in every weld, every panel.

Customs featured on Bike EXIF are always high quality, but they probably cost a fortune too.
Builds this artsy tend to sacrifice practicality completely, though.
If they've won awards, I wonder which specific builder contest recognized them.
I remember seeing Lord Drake Kustoms' name in an overseas builder contest before.
Spanish builders always seem good at balancing that Latin flashiness with real finesse.
Just the name 'Babylon' gives this custom an ominous kind of vibe.
It says it's a 'bold approach,' so they probably tore up the base bike's original shape quite a bit.
