Bike EXIF Names Its Top 11 Harley Customs of 2022

Bike EXIF has released its ranking of the 11 best Harley-Davidson custom motorcycles from 2022, a look back at a year of builds that reworked the Milwaukee-made V-twin in very different ways. The list, titled "Milwaukee Muscle," puts the spotlight on the engine that anchors nearly every Harley, and on the custom shops that chose to build around it.

The premise is simple but durable. Harley-Davidson's engines have been manufactured in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for more than a century, and that heritage gives custom builders a familiar foundation. Whether a bike is stripped down, stretched out or fitted with a bold paint scheme, the V-twin remains the centerpiece, and the best customs tend to show how much character a builder can draw from it.

Bike EXIF's annual selections are a useful snapshot of where the custom scene stood at the time. Rankings like this reflect the publication's editorial judgment, so readers who want the full reasoning behind each placement, along with the photos and build details, should go to the original article. The headline list is a good starting point for anyone tracking how Harley customization evolved in 2022.
