2006 Cycleboyz Bobber - The Hottest Chopper In Canada

The oil tank was made from 3/8-inch aluminum, corner-to-corner welded (more than 60 welding rods). The fins were roughly milled to give them a cast look. The oil cap is a set of brass reproduction wings, hand-engraved with the Texaco logo. The sheetmetal is pretty simple. The holes through the fuel tank were achieved by welding stainless pipe right through the tank and frame. The gas cap is a '27 Chrysler radiator cap. The foot controls are made from old Ludwig Speed King bass drum pedals, "barefoot" dimmer switches, and a PM master cylinder.

Brent then made the seat pan out of copper and hand-tooled a simple raw-leather cover for it. The sweet paint is metalflake-green HOK, with a gold checkered flag on the underside of the tank. Green is for the money; gold is for the honeys!

The taillight is a Honda piston with a Sportster connecting rod. The shifter handle is an old glass doorknob. The kickstand is a Hurst shifter with a green metalflake knob. The sediment bowl is from an old Ford 8N tractor, with green metalflake dice in it for good luck. The points cover is made from an old '36 Ford ashtray. The headlight is a Ford Model-T accessory fog light. The "Master Deluxe" embossing on the rear fender is from a chrome badge off a '40 Chevy. The kicker pedal is a Cycleboyz brass knuckle, hand-engraved by Heather New.

This bike is Brent's interpretation of a two-wheeled Deuce coupe, hot rod to the bone. The only parts on the bike that were made in a CNC machine are the tranny cover and the axle adjusters; the rest were just blacksmith labor. This sweet ride could have been built in someone's garage, and the project started in true hot rod fashion: Brent was having some beers with an old hot rod buddy, telling him how he had wanted to build a frame from original drop axles. Not long after that, the friend handed over three rusty old axles. The rest, as they say...
