1935 Triumph L2-1

This fine looking motor has raced for 70 years in everything from grasstrack & speedway to trials and board track. It has raced at Brooklands many times, it's last race was in 2008. 

We have now been lucky enough to get our grubby little hands on it with the aim of putting it into one of our frames to race again.... Watch this space!

Jeff's custom Harley Davidson Fat Bob

A custom Harley Davidson Fat Bob from Jeff in WA, USA.  It's great that, with a bit of effort, you can radically change the overall look of your stock Harley and get a really mean looking custom ride. This sweet looking FXDF is seen here sporting a standard length Vivid Black Voodoo Fender.

We can do this work for you, you could get it done at your local chop shop or Harley Dealership or, if you fancy getting your hands dirty like Jeff, you could tackle it yourself and get it done in a weekend. We are always on hand for any advice or to talk you through the installation so get in touch if you have a hankering to start doing some mods.

Custom Voodoo Fender for for a '94 Harley Wide Glide

Here are a couple of pics from Vinny in Dorset, UK of his '94 Wide Glide which he has fitted with one of our custom Voodoo fenders designed to fit pre '06 Harley Dyna's.

There are a few more pictures of some pre '06 Harley's with a custom fender kit on the website.  

New Monza Gas Caps

Just a quick pic of our new Monza Gas Caps which are currently available as weld in and will be up in the webshop soon. Pictured here mocked up on my own bike Hullabaloo which is undergoing major surgery.... again....

Ken's Harley Davidson Fat Bob

Here are some pics from Ken in NH, USA of his 2014 Harley Fat Bob fitted with the extended length Voodoo Fender. Really love the white on the bike and it's the first time we have seen the fender struts done like this.

These and more pic's can be viewed in a selection of galleries up on the Rocket Bobs website and the Voodoo Fender and may other custom parts are available online in the webshop.

Marvin's Harley Fat Bob

Just updated the website Customer Rides gallery with these pics from Marvin who lives in NY, USA. This is his 2015 Fat Bob with the extended length Voodoo Fender, Stealth Sidemount & Kellermann mini DF's. Marvin has also fitted an LED light array from Chrome Glow under the fender which we have used a few times now and is a great way to add minimal looking stop, tail and turn signals to your chopped back end :)

Dario's Harley Wide Glide

Thanks to Dario from California, USA for sending in some pictures of his 2012 Harley Davidson Wide Glide which he has fitted with our standard length Voodoo Fender.

Rolls Royce Superchargers

A quick video of some awesome 1930's technology,, this baby is a supercharger off a Rolls Royce Merlin engine. This is one of two that we are refurbishing and fitting to a 1937 Flathead Harley motor...

Oh and a turbo... And nitrous... Plus water injection and run it on Methanol...

Can't wait to see how this sucker turns out!! :)

Rocket Bobs Flush Fit Console

Tank consoles on many bikes, particularly Harley's, are just plain ugly and we get many requests for something a bit less clunky.  So this is an example of a Flush Fit Console that we do,,, we really should work on a better name...

This one was made for our Harley Davidson Rocker C build 'Blackbird'

The console on Blackbird has been fitted with a Motoscope mini speedo by Motogadget which we love and have used on many of our builds. The German engineering has produced a 'highly compact digital instrument with a unique LED display in the instrument realm. 251 ultra bright LEDs provide for an essentially rimless and extremely readable display surface which can entirely be used for the display of readings. This intricate and innovative technology combines a maximum of display surface with minimal casing dimensions'.

Motogadget pride themselves on the 'unadorned and elegant design' of the Motoscope mini which we think works particularly well with the design idea behind our consoles.

Another day, another custom motorcycle part

Designed originally for our Harley Davidson Shovelhead bike Gas'd Rat, this is our 7075 CNC machined 2" headlight that houses a 3500 lumens LED hi power unit. This isn't your usual Harley style headlight and it's small details like this that can really make your bike stand out from the rest of the crowd.

At Rocket Bobs we provide a full customisation service in our workshop,, so whether you just want a few minor modifications or a full on custom build, we can have your bike in and help to turn your ideas into reality.

Or if you want to be more hands on and grab your wrenches and head for the garage yourself then, as worldwide suppliers of performance & custom motorcycle parts & accessories for Harley-Davidson, Cruiser, Chopper & Custom Motorcycles we can provide you with everything you need.

Rocket Bobs are authorised dealers for all the major aftermarket parts specialists including Custom Chrome, Zodiac, Motorcycle Storehouse amd W&W.

So whether you want to go down the route of a total custom part such as our headlight above, or need to source a particular item from any one of the parts manufacturers then give us a call.

It's time to say good-bye to your stock ride!

Where's a guy to find some stainless steel oil fittings?

We've been on the hunt for stainless steel oil fitting for what seems like an aaaaaaaagge now. We hunted high and low and far and wide,, ok well most of it was done online while I was sat on my ar$e but you get the drift,, and we just couldn't find them anywhere. So what's a guy to do in this situation??,, well I figured that we'd better start making them ourselves :) 

Stainless CNC turned oil fittings which will be available soon from the Rocket Bobs online store,, or you can always just pop in to see us and pick a set up for yourself (please bring doughnuts).

More Shovels!!

Harley Davidson Shovelhead,, a relationship that often involves equal parts love and hate.  I won't say which one is being felt around here at Rocket Bobs at the moment,, but pretty much lost the feeling in my right leg about now :)

Harley Shovel love ...

via Instagram https://instagram.com/p/-FWLocnacA/

The Harley Davidson Shovelhead engine is one of our all time favourites and has featured in a number of our custom bikes including Gas'd Rat, Bankrobber & Hipster Killer. It was manufactured from 1966 to 1984 by Harley-Davidson and produced 10% more horsepower than the Panhead engine which it replaced.

There are a number of companies now producing Shovelhead-style engines but these babies below are originals from the 1970's.
