NO LIMIT CUSTOM: A major influence on the fat-rear-end conversion boom that flourished (in Germany in particular) from the mid-1990s, Holger Schnell started NLC in 1993 and customized his first Harley – a V-Rod – in 2004. Since then NLC has become an ISO certified manufacturer (2007 – DIN 9001:2000) and emerged as a worldwide leader in conversion parts such as wide tire kits, single-sided swingarms, 3D custom wheels, chain drive conversions, bodywork and CNC-machined special parts; www.no-limit-custom.com
