March 2010 - American Iron Profiles the Model 1S
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.
