N.A.D.A. Comes Onboard

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

August 27, 2008- Oklahoma City, OK - Brass Balls Bobbers announced that N.A.D.A. is listing their motorcycles. In a surprise to no one, these motorbikes retain there value in large part due to the quality workmanship and the market’s enthusiasm for the design.

We Employ The Chair of Death

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

George Emmons Najar, Media Engineer for Biker Pros, designed and built a video shooting chair for filming Brass Balls Bobbers’ Choppers, Diggers and Classic Bobbers.

Biker Pros utilizes this tool to shoot action motorcycle shots at ¾ view, straight ahead and at speed.

It improves the quality and excitement of the video by allowing the viewers to get closer to the action and see the motorcycles in their natural habitat, at speed.

Part 2 - Building The Giveaway Bobber

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

You can WIN this Brass Balls Bobbers / IronWorks Magazine / Bikernet giveaway bike by clicking here.

If the frame can be described as the bike’s skeleton, then certainly the powertrain equates to its muscle. By powertrain, we reference the transmission, primary drive and, of course, the engine. In terms of our Brass Balls Bobber giveaway bike, that ensemble includes one of Baker Drivetrain’s all-new Powerbox 6-speed transmissions, a Tauer Machine primary and clutch assembly, and one of Crazy Horse Motorcycles’ 100-cubic-inch engines.

Sturgis Pics from Dar Holdsworth

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Just in from Da Boss, Dar Holdsworth. He entered the World Championships and his Military Bobber came back with an outstanding 3rd place. A few months earlier it won the Military Bike Build-Off in Branson, Missouri.

The military Digger represents the arm services of America. It’s painted army green with splashes of vivid colors. It embodies an old skool look with state-of-the-art features.

The motorbike is built with some cutting edge components from Metzeler tires to Crime Scene lights and air cleaner. A unique piece of the build is an engine from Crazy Horse, which is called a V-Plus engine. The bike not only looks good, but with the V-Plus it runs like a scalded cat.

He also attended the Bikernet Brouhaha! show and came back with a number of snaps from the event. Checkout his Sturgis pictures and Bobber by clicking here.

It Starts With A Frame

You can WIN this Brass Balls Bobbers / IronWorks Magazine giveaway by clicking here for details.

You can’t officially begin a bike project until you’ve got a place to hang all the bits and pieces. That, of course, means you must start with a frame, and that’s where Part 1 of our giveaway project bike begins. Like all of Brass Balls Bobbers’ frames, this essential foundation for our bike is made of hand-bent tubing that’s hand-fit and hand-welded by a team boasting years of experience at this sort of thing.
