I Have Not Made A Post About Motorcycles For Some Time,

so here is one of a style of motorcycle that I like called a Bobber, 

photographs Paul Berger, built by Australia’s Paul Berger and his father, this Bobber is based on a Triumph 1949 Speed Twin, 

Paul started work, “Getting something to look simple and just right is incredibly difficult. I think the greatest challenge was not what to do, but what NOT to do. Trying to keep things consistent and minimal and not allowing one element to distract from another. Overall, the stance of the bike and getting the right visual flow from the tank to the seat to the rear guard was the hardest thing to get right,” the engine and gearbox was sent to his father for a complete rebuild, 

this is one of the many features I love about this motorcycle, girder forks, so often Bobbers are made but the donors bikes telescopic front forks are kept, 

Paul chose a set of 32-inch wide drag bars that are mounted to the girder thanks to RSD risers. And the controls are the always impressive Kustom Tech one-inch throttle housing and hand controls, 

the exhaust pipes are off-the-shelf pieces, made in Oz by Bob at Classic All Parts, the dry-sumped engine is kept full of oil thanks to a Mooneyes tank below the seat, the original 6-volt system was kept, but it’s all been entirely rebuilt from scratch, and features a custom velocity stack taillight and a tiny GPS speedo to make things road legal, would I like it? You Bet! A huge well done to Paul and his father for making a truly unique Bobber.
