Carbon Fiber BMW Bobber Motorcycle

Posted on September 18, 2012 by Matt Storms

Some of you might have might have seen this BMW bobber motorcycle from David Ballinger before. Some might have not. I am a fan of carbon fiber, it is light, super strong, has a look all its own thanks to the fiber weave and does not need to be painted. I really like this BMW bobber motorcycle. The front fender, the great headlight, the raised handlebars and the awesome carbon fiber tank with the BMW emblems. I am a fan of this solo seat as well. I like how the rear brake light is centered high on the rear fender. I … Continue reading →

Icon Device Textile Motorcycle Jacket

So I have had the pleasure of reviewing the Icon Device Textile Motorcycle Jacket for the last week. It is a jacket that is cut based off the Icon 1000 Chapter jacket so it should be on the snug side. The idea was to give a low cost alternative to the $600 Chapter, and $400 Leather Device.

The paint on this bobber is really unique to me. I can see from the photos that it does have a great rust look to it. Not sure if that is because it is real rust or if it is paint. No matter the paint is cool. If you look really close at the image gallery below you will see there is a lot of … Continue reading →

Yamaha Drag Star 400 Bobber Motorcycle

Posted on September 15, 2012 by Matt Storms

This Yamaha bobber motorcycle was made by Dash Customs in Japan. The bobber craze is really strong in Japan. When I lived there from 2000-2003 I saw bobbers almost daily. Too bad that was my sport bike days. When I lived in Japan I had a 250cc Ninja, now I wish I would have got a bobber back then. I digress. As we look at this Drag Star bobber below we can see the springer front end. The classic old headlight and we can see how the turn signals are mounted low on the frame. The gloss black, chrome pipes, … Continue reading →
