Rocket Nightrain build

We've had to completely custom fab the seat base for this build.  Its the only way we can get it looking as clean and tight as possible.  The ECM is right in the way so we've sunk it into the fender and moulded a little box in the pan.  More details and pics to follow shortly.......


There's nothing like getting covered in needle sharp glass fibres on the hottest day of the year so far! :)

06 Harley Street Bob Voodoo conversion


Today we had a trip over to the east coast to drop off Lloyd's Bob.  We did a Voodoo conversion on it with a whole bunch of other mods to clean it up and give it a lower fatter look... full details up soon on the Rocket Bobs website.

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Lloyd for being such a great customer and allowing us free range on his bike :) We had a great day..... there was a whole weird sandwich thing involved (you need to check out the HDRidersUSA forum to find out what that's all about!).....


and the biggest Koi I have ever seen in my life!!

A little bit of Hollywood?

Travelled to Essex today to pick up our latest project, a 2007 Harley Davidson Nightrain.

It was a typical driving day in the south of England,, rain and roadworks,, the joys of the M25 :) but we did come across one new addition on the landscape...


This is the new £90,000 sign for the town of Basildon (you probably would have guessed that part!) which is part of a project to put the town on the map apparently.  

Sadly, at 5ft high, I think it lacks some of the pizzazz of the 45ft Californian version.

Headed south again

A few pics of the Rocker being dropped off at Edinburgh Harley Davidson this morning....


Its almost April but it still seems to be winter up here in Scotland judging by the snow capped Pentland Hills on the outskirts of Edinburgh.  Glad to be headed back south to (slightly) warmer climes :)

On the road with Rocky II

On the M6 heading up to Edinburgh to return the modded Rocker to Edinburgh Harley Davidson.

Panorama pic done with a cool iPhone app called AutoStitch, although it's not ideal if you're using it in a moving vehicle with ever changing surroundings! - although I quite like the blurry effect you get :)


Only another 4 hours to go :)

Rocket Bobs blacked out Ohlins shocks with Harley orange springs

Probably the best Harley shocks on the market, we stripped them down and epoxy coated the bodies, replace with stainless bushings and powder coat the springs and pre-load adjustor's with Harley orange.


These bad boys are on their way to Dubai for a custom Harley Street Bob project.
