GUILDFORD CUSTOM RECENTLY TOOK PART IN THIS INCREDIBLE CHALLENGE
WITH THE BREATHTAKING TRAILBLAZER – ELMO.

Harley-Davidson motorcycles have always been first choice for personalisation; the route for owners to adapt their Harley to match their personality. With Harley-Davidson® Genuine Parts & Accessories available for all models, Pan America is no exception.

This year, six custom bike builders from six UK Harley-Davidson® dealerships have defied the customisation norm to showcase their custom-building skills across six of the award-winning Pan America 1250 to delicer some truly unique machines. First publicly revealed at the H-D 120th celebrations in Budapest, the Trailblazers bring the custom adventure bike genre to life.

FROM OUR TEAM:
“The idea of customising a Pan America came at the same time we saw one in the flesh in 2021. Since then, Guildford Custom has applied small personalisation touches to serveral customer Pan America bikes, but Trailblazers has allows us to go deeper, further.”

“We’ve always wanted to go the route of an ultimate supermoto-rally bike hybrid and ‘ ELMO ‘ is the finished thought. This perfectly executed paintwork by Image Design Custom has styling cues from competition rally bikes to further underline the hybrid design. Other cues are the exhaust system and plethora of lightweight carbon fibre accessory parts. From the fron tender to the chainguard, dash console and heatshields with more in between.”
