Touring Frame, Reworked with Purpose
We started with a stock 2021 Road Glide - a solid touring platform. But comfort alone doesn’t cut it for us. This build needed to do more - move faster, sit tighter, and ride harder. First up: a full teardown and rebuild with a performance mindset, keeping only what adds to the ride.
The paint is what sets the tone. We used Oak Green Metallic, straight from the Porsche 911 GT3 RS palette. Paired it with our CNC components finished in Neodyme Satin - the same bronze accent you’ll find on GT3 RS wheels. The result is a combo that’s clean, modern, and completely different from anything on the road.
Carbon Fiber Where It Counts
This build keeps it tight and lean with real carbon fiber — not for show, but for weight savings and cleaner lines:
- Mid-Length Carbon Front Fender — Compact and functional. Keeps the front sharp and responsive.
- FXR-Style Carbon Side Covers — Brings that clubstyle look to a bagger frame, with seamless fitment.
- Carbon Rear Fender — Matches the bags and finishes the rear with a light, sculpted profile.
We kept the carbon usage practical and balanced — every piece plays into the function and flow of the bike.
Neodyme Satin CNC Parts - Subtle and Precise
Instead of going full blackout, we used our CNC-machined parts in Neodyme Satin - a warm, brushed bronze tone that plays perfectly with the Oak Green. It’s refined, industrial, and just a little different.
- Transparent Clutch Cover: Shows off the internals, fits perfectly, and adds a mechanical touch.
- Black Series Cam Cover: Understated and clean.
- Crook Series Air Filter: Delivers performance gains and rounds out the engine bay visually.
Ride Quality: Upgraded at Every Point
We weren’t going to throw this much detail into a bike and leave stock suspension behind. Here’s how we made it handle like a performance build:
- Legend Suspension piggyback rear shocks - Built to handle both aggressive riding and long distances without compromise.
- Progressive adjustable front suspension - Tuned to give confidence under braking and better feel through the corners.
- HPI exhaust system - Lightweight, clean bends, and just the right growl. No fake volume, just a deep, honest tone that matches the bike’s character.
The stance is assertive, but nothing about it is overdone. It rides as good as it looks.
Built to Ride
This bike isn’t a trailer queen or a parts catalog show-off. It’s meant to be used. Fast miles, hard corners, and everything in between. With a leaner setup, precise geometry, and responsive handling, Green Oak offers a completely different riding experience from a stock Road Glide - without giving up comfort.
Everything from the color to the suspension was chosen for a reason. Nothing’s random. And as always, every part fits - no mods, no gaps, no guessing.
