If you’re into custom Harleys that mix touring muscle with razor-sharp styling, then Rick’s “Orange Shark” demands your attention. Built by Rick's Motorcycles in Baden-Baden, Germany, this “Power Bagger” takes the 2024-era touring platform and turns it into something bold — aggressive, yet refined.
What makes Orange Shark special is how Rick’s re-imagined the stock touring machine with their signature “Clubstyle” treatment. The bike gets Rick’s CNC-machined “Clubstyle” riser kit — hiding the myriad cables from the controls under sleek covers — and their “Performance 1T” aluminum handlebars for a clean, uncluttered cockpit. The stock triple-trees are masked by custom covers and risers, offering a precise, responsive steering feel even on the heavy (~380 kg) tourer chassis.
Under the surface lies a full performance treatment: the suspension features Arlen Ness 49 mm forks in DLC-gold with high-end Öhlins NIX22 cartridges, and Öhlins S36 shocks tucked discreetly behind the “Helix” side-bags — delivering both comfort for long rides and control for spirited cornering. Braking is handled by massive 355 mm “Wave” rotors up front and a stout 300 mm, 7 mm-thick disc at the rear — designed for heat resistance and strong, consistent stopping power.
Visually the Orange Shark doesn’t hold back: a factory-inspired racing paint scheme - orange, black and white with metallic pigments and “Bar & Shield” details - gives a nod to heritage while standing out. Gold accents from parts like the rocker box covers, grips, and air-filter ring inject a premium vibe. Meanwhile, a matte-black 2-into-1 exhaust from Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde delivers signature sound and adjustable rumble to match the bike’s attitude.
Finally, Orange Shark proves it’s more than just a showpiece - with crash bars for protection, a comfortable LePera “Tailwhip” seat, and Arlen Ness “Speedliner” floorboards, it’s built to be ridden. Whether cruising long stretches or carving tight bends, this Power Bagger blends style, comfort, and performance — and for the 2025 season, it’s ready to leave a mark wherever it rolls.
