Nicola Martini is known as Mr. Martini in the custom bike world, and he built a Harley-Davidson Softail Cafe Racer out of an HD Fat Boy.
When most people think Fat Boy, they don’t think cafe racer. The Softail model is a cruiser best known for its solid cast wheels and badass attitude.
This transformation is a striking one and shows just how versatile the Fat Boy can be in the right hands.
Martini started with a 1998 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy and then turned that bike into a cafe racer. Martini nicknamed the bike Gnews, which is a reference to the unheard-of nature of this machine.
BikeBound did a killer interview and write-up on the bike. I highly suggest you head over there and check it out.
