The Rocketeer Debuts At AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building
Our newly designed and hand-fabricated gas tank embodies the central theme of the 2011 Rocketeer.
The introduction of the bike kicked off at the 2010 AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building. The Rocketeer takes several design cues from the 1930’s and 40’s and integrates them into a tight Digger Bobber, which delivers a fresh interpretation on the classic bobber.
Classic looks combined with cutting-edge American components provides a motorcycle platform that delivers outstanding performance, reliability and the elusive WOW factor. Read the rest of this entry »

Chris Maida at American Iron felt the 69 Chopper from Brass Balls was off-the-chain! Not only does it have outstanding ergonomics, it’s responsive and really hauls the mail.
Maida’s test ride includes a round cylinder 92” S&S mill that is backed by a smooth shifting left-side drive BAKER six speed tranny. Included in the build is a BAKER 2.4” synchronous primary belt drive and clutch system.
Gases are addressed by a D&D Performance’s 2into1 ceramic-coated exhaust system with a Brass Balls’ spec muffler.

In the motorcycle world, there is a common bond among us. We need to stick together. It’s dangerous out there. The two-wheeled passion runs deep and is thick as 60-weight.
When a brother needs help with a project, we step up. Here’s a perfect example of two-wheeled zeal. Motorcycle rights effort in the U.S. is one of the strongest grass roots movements in the country. The brothers and sister aren’t paid, but they fight daily to maintain our freedoms. This bike build is another example of the crazed monks from the motorcycle mountain worshiping together to form a world class motorcycle.
