The Hard Kandi Diaries: Day 1

The Hard Kandi Diaries is a journal about the customising of a 2012 Harley-Davidson Softail Slim motorcycle into 'Hard Kandi' (details of which will be divulged along the course of this diary).

Hard Kandi will be designed and created by the Charlie Stockwell, Mastermind of Design & Engineering at Warr's Harley-Davidson in London. Charlie is well-known for his award-winning and trend-setting designs and has been bringing fame for years to the legendary Warr's, Europe's oldest and most successful Harley-Davidson dealership Group.

From Whole to the Sum of Its Parts

A couple of months ago, I posted about The Hard Kandi Diaries: The Beginning of Beginnings. Nobody had a daft clue what Hard Kandi was all about, and I couldn't let the cat out of the bag yet! So when Charlie (@WarrsCustoms) posted photos on the Warr's Customs Facebook page, I was thrilled this incredibly talented bespoke and luxury bike designer was finally working on the Hard Kandi project (you can't imagine how busy this guy is, like seriously!).
