Paul Yaffe Originals / Bagger Nation

About this custom build

Paul Yaffe Originals / Bagger Nation is featured in the Global Rider Customs Awards — an annual programme recognising the world's finest custom Harley-Davidson builders. Each entry is voted on by the Global Rider community, with the top builders earning recognition across categories including Dedicated Harley baggers.

The Global Rider Customs Awards showcase builders from every corner of the globe — from established custom houses with decades of experience to independent craftspeople building bikes one at a time in their own workshops. Every entry is reviewed and approved before appearing in the awards directory, ensuring that every build shown here represents genuine craftsmanship and passion for the Harley-Davidson platform.

Paul Yaffe Originals / Bagger Nation is based in USA. Custom Harley-Davidson building is a global craft — builders across every continent are pushing the boundaries of what the Harley platform can become, from stripped-back minimalist bobbers and tracker-style flat trackers to elaborate touring customs and show-winning full customs. The community that has grown around custom building is as diverse as the bikes themselves.

Custom Harley-Davidson builds begin with a vision — a particular era, a riding discipline, or an aesthetic that the builder wants to realise in steel, aluminium and leather. The process of transforming a stock motorcycle into a custom build requires skill across disciplines: fabrication, engineering, paintwork, upholstery and electrical systems. The best builders treat the Harley-Davidson platform as a canvas, retaining the character of the original machine while creating something entirely new.

To vote for this build or explore other entries, browse the Customs Awards directory. Voting is open to all registered Global Rider members. The builder with the most community votes in each category is recognised at the annual Global Rider Custom Awards ceremony in December 2026.
