A CUSTOM 2018 HARLEY-DAVIDSON® ROAD GLIDE®
Not every custom Harley-Davidson Road Glide turns into an icon, but the Tiki Glide did just that. With its stunning Tahitian Teal paint, chrome accents, and performance-driven upgrades, this 2018 Road Glide became one of our most recognized builds—so much so that it landed on the cover of the 2023 Klock Werks Harley-Davidson® catalog.
Built for both style and performance, this bike is a perfect mix of custom Road Glide parts, Harley-Davidson aftermarket parts, and premium accessories from some of the best brands in the industry.
Now, we’re breaking it all down—so you can shop the exact parts and get inspired for your own Harley Road Glide build.
The Story Behind the Tiki Glide
In 2019, Harley-Davidson® released Tahitian Teal, a striking factory color with a unique water-slide graphic that made it stand out in the lineup. The moment we saw it, we knew it had the potential to be something special.
To bring the Tiki Glide to life, we leaned into high-polished chrome accents to highlight the rich tones of the paint. The Vance & Hines exhaust, chrome Kliphanger Handlebars, and even the factory wheels (which we had chromed) brought out the bike’s bold styling.
But what really set it off? The Klock Werks Ice Blue Flare® Windshield. Even today, it matches the paint job perfectly, making it one of the cleanest-looking custom motorcycle builds we’ve ever done.
This isn’t just another Harley Road Glide with accessories—this is a show-stopping, ride-ready machine.
