The KH Boardtracker

Are you inspired by the Discovery series Harley and the Davidsons? We sure are! It’s nice to see the competition between Harley Davidson and Indian (now topical again).

In our hearts the founders were real men, how they started is really awesome and very recognizable. In the series, it’s also great to see that a group of men (and a women!) were tinkering with each other, the basis for a real motorcycle club.

Racing with motorcycles is not really our thing, but it sure feels good. That’s why we don’t want you to miss this; the KH Boardtracker version.

The front and rear wheels are both 21 inch with original drums. Home made tank from that era, a few rough looking exhausts, round oil tank with a see-through glass and brass cap, steering wheel with reverse handles and wooden handles on an I Beam springer.

We are still working to bring the shift side a bit more from the right to the left. because this shifts somewhat more pleasant.

Evo engine in black and chrome

This new old familiar Evo engine, equipped with 1600 cc in black and chrome, will be used for a Bobber build.

We already have mounted a Horn airfilter and we will also add Knucklehead covers.

To be continued…!

Treasure from the shed

You don’t see it a lot anymore, a bike that sat in a dark corner of the barn for 20 years. We were the lucky discoverers of this genuine shovelhead with character.

Vintage Tank

For ongoing projects it makes sense that we’ll make a tank that gives the chopper its very own look.

This tank will be used for a HK boardtracker.

Gooseneck Frame

It isn’t old and it isn’t new, but a style throughout the years.

Trends come and go. The Gooseneck is not only suitable for a 70s style, but also suitable for a mix of styles. The Retro Springer, Wassel tank, the Early Shovel block with new technology and a 5 gearbox with hydra clutch.

Hardtail frame for Evo engine

This style is a reminiscent of the 70s. This is evident from the hardtail, drag pipes, sissy bar and high ape-hanger with a long retro jumper.

This model only has a 200 mm wide rear wheel and a narrow JJ tank.

Blade Springer in chrome and color

We’re finishing a boardtracker where we’ve used this blade jumper (30900ST).

The swingarm is painted in the old original green color of the bike. The leaf springs, swings and the forks are chromed.

The handlebar has inverted vintage handles (1203240) which are reversed handles with cable control. On the brake side the cable goes over to a hydraulic brake reservoir to control the front brake.

The whole is completed by a very old headlight!

Gold Chain 1001103

If you’ve got a project where brass is reflected in the theme than the gold chain 1001103 is a nice detail for the finishing touches!

Shinka Chopper – Photoshoot

Normally we tell a story about the project, but now we’ve allowed the customer to speak.

Quincy; I was looking for a Japanese Zero style bobber. The Japanese Zero style is characterized by the angle of the front fork (this is somewhat placed down), the lack of a front fender, the gooseneck at the front of the frame, the relatively small tank and half the rear fender integrated with the rear light.

Hardtail frame for TwinCam

The TwinCam is a block which was born in the year 2000. We are now 16 years later so logically today this block is also being used for different designs and styles.

We have a TwinCam Hardtail frame for a Bobber Style, an Old Skool and everything in between.
