2008 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special VRSCDA - Custom Candy Blue - 1,250cc Revolution V-Twin - Modified Muscle Cruiser
Overview
The Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special (VRSCDA) represents one of the most aggressive and distinctive motorcycles ever produced by Harley-Davidson. Developed around the Porsche-engineered Revolution V-twin engine, the Night Rod combined modern performance with unmistakable American muscle styling. This 2008 example has been extensively customised and meticulously maintained, transforming an already impressive machine into a genuine head-turner with over $53,000 invested including purchase and modifications.
Finished in striking custom Candy Blue paint that sparkles brilliantly in sunlight, this Night Rod has always been garaged and presents in excellent condition. The bike sits low and purposeful courtesy of a 23-degree rake kit, upgraded suspension and imposing staggered wheel and tyre package, including a massive 260-section rear tyre. The custom leather diamond-stitched seat complements the aggressive styling, while black wheels, custom guards and upgraded controls complete the muscular stance. The distinctive "Original Porsche Designed" Revolution engine remains the centrepiece, delivering strong performance accompanied by the unmistakable sound of the Vance & Hines 2-into-1 exhaust system, wrapped in titanium and finished with heat shields.
Significant recent expenditure includes a new rear tyre fitted in June 2026, new airflow hand grips and cables, a comprehensive winter service in May 2026, new mirrors, battery replacement, rear brake pads and brake switch, along with a full service completed in April 2024. The current setup incorporates a premium Burleigh 10-inch Straight T-Bar assembly, Quad Lock anti-vibration phone mount with integrated charging system and built-in battery charger for convenience. Vehicle history reports supplied by the owner confirm no theft history, no write-off status and no recorded financial interest.
This Night Rod Special offers exceptional road presence, strong performance and extensive modifications, making it equally suited to weekend cruising or display duties. With quality components throughout and considerable investment evident, this is a highly individual Harley-Davidson that commands attention wherever it goes.
