Black Hills Test Run

The Model 1S was loaned out to Chris Maida, Editor of American Iron Magazine, and Chris Callen, Editor of Cycle Source Magazine, to do a review on this value-laden Digger Bobber during the 2009 edition of Sturgis.

Chris Maida, Editor of American Iron Magazine, test rode the Brass Balls Bobbers’ Model 1S Digger Bobber during the 2009 edition of Sturgis. His report is in the March 2010 edition of American Iron Magazine.

One of the unique features of the bike is the suspended seat plus the hidden suspension below the frame. It provides a very cushy ride on this bare-knuckle motorbike.

The Model 1S comes with high-value components including a D&D Performance Enterprise’s 2-into-1 header system, Baker Drivetrain, Tauer Machine belt primary and a strong running EVO 80″ mill with a S&S Super E carb and air cleaner.

Maida Tests the Model 1S

Chris Maida is caught throwing a leg over a Brass Balls Model 1S motorcycle in Sturgis SD this past year. Moments later he snicked the sled into gear and blasted off towards the Badlands.

As the editor of American Iron Magazine, Maida can test just about any bike that he wants. He decided to exercise the Softail-style custom-production motorcycle for a full week during the 2009 edition of Sturgis. His review will be in an upcoming issue of the magazine.

Enthusiasts and owners of the Model 1S have agreed that this is one cool bike. And with Maida’s black shades and black T, black jeans, and black ride, well, we think he is sporting his James Dean look.

The hand-built custom-production Model 1S is just 17,995. To get your James Dean look call the office today at 405-270-0995.

This Chopper is Ready for Ignition

A great chopper is not built, it’s created. It begins as the seed of an idea germinating in the mind of its creator. Bit by bit, the builder brings the machine to life… That is what Tom captured in his first book, Art of the Chopper published by Motorbooks Int’l in 2003. Zimberoff’s engaging text provides an in-depth analysis of the each designer’s philosophy and unique style.

This is the reincarnation of Tom Zimberoff’s original “Art Of The Chopper” bike. The original bike was mint green, swoopy and not quite road worthy.

The Brass Balls team was tasked with the challenge of making Tom’s sled cool, ride-able and keeping as many of the existing components as possible.

We have started by completely gutting and rebuilding a ‘75 Ironhead motor, putting it in a Lead Sled frame, using our new Knuckle Dragger front end and some fat spokes for the wheels.
