Icon Military Specifications Mesh Vest

When I ride I like to be seen. I ride in Utah, the land of minivans and distracted drivers that do not see motorcycles at all. I have been cut off, merged into and had people turn into me. This is why I want to be seen. I have used many vests and tapes over the years. I was in the military where I had to wear a motorcycle vest. I used to wear a crappy construction vest while I rode in Japan and in California. When I moved to Utah I found the Icon vest and all the Icon … Continue reading →

Chrome Bobber Motorcycle

How many of you spend your saturday out enjoying your ride in the twisties, cruising main street USA and hanging out with your buddies. Then you spend all day Sunday cleaning the chrome? I like chrome, don’t get me wrong by this post, but I think that some bobber motorcycles like the one in solid chrome below have too much chrome. I do not like to clean my motorcycle after each use. Does anyone know of any chrome cleaning product that holds up over time? Photo Credit. Submit your bobber motorcycle. Matt Storms

Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Bobber Motorcycle

Posted on January 18, 2012 by

I have looked at some of the newer Kawasaki motorcycles to see about converting one of them to a bobber motorcycle. Below is a 2012 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 motorcycle, I think it would make for a great bobber motorcycle. I would only have to make a few changes to this motorcycle. I would toss the front fender or sell it on ebay. I would also get rid of the seat and rear fender. I would change out the seat fo a tractor motorcycle spring seat and chop and change the rear fender. I would get a few old lights to mount … Continue reading →
