Warr’s Harley-Davidson Frisco Bobber

.  

Designer Charlie StockWell of Warr's H-D in London has done it again. After wowing us with the Unorthodox Softail and the Kamome Sprinter, the skilled 31-year-old brings his latest project to our attention: the Frisco Bobber. Based on a 2010 Harley-Davidson Crossbones, StockWell’s creation crosses styles both from the Far East and 1970's California.

He stripped the bike down, keeping the original chassis, engine, transmission and electrics for the original Harley feel. The engine cases and every nut and bolt were sent away to be nickel plated.

The transmission covers were covered in glossy black powder coat. He also went for a slightly modified 2010 Sportster tank and internal fuel pump. In addition, the fenders were hand rolled in Japan, while Wild Hog in Italy hand made and stitched all of the leather work. Saddle, side bag and fuel flask retaining straps.

StockWell re-laced the original rear wheel hub onto a 16x3.5 rim and used the original Crossbones front wheel then wrapped them in Coker Rubber. Black front tire and twin whitewall for the rear.

All of the brass components, except the gas cap, were machined at the Warr's workshops. Grips, pegs, spacers and mounts. The handlebars are a pair of Sportster Iron bars with the paint striped back and polished.

The headlamp was mounted low down on the left hand side of forks to keep the front end clean and springs exposed. A small side mount license plate holder was fabricated to also hold the rear light.

Finally, StockWell went for a glowing metal flake paintwork. "To keep with the theme of the bike we wanted to use a deep 'Root Beer' and orange candy over a mix of gold and silver flake," he explained.
