Bobber in database engine H-D Evo from the workshop of Jamesville

Small garage Jamesville in Copenhagen is one of the biggest tuning house in Europe for the construction of custom bikes based on old Harley Davidsons and Triumph. Their latest work, the bobber Evo engine from H-D looks great.

James Roper-Caldbeck (James Roper-Caldbeck), the project author and the owner of the shop, building bikes for lovers of the old school. In the beginning of the year, James received a letter from a guy asking to build a bobber in the Japanese manner. This idea pleased him and he immediately contacted the customer, the tattoo artist Tony. The fact that the guy spent six years in Japan, honing skills in the art of Japanese tattoo. He fell in love with the country and its culture and, after returning to Sweden, he wanted to do one of those bobber that I met on the streets of Tokyo.

Engine "Sportster" 1988 squandered up to 1200 cm3, in the front fork Springer shoved 18-inch aluminum Morad rim and drum brake. "This project was not donor," says James. "Tony came to me with the engine mounts. But everything else we ordered from all over the world". Modified fuel tank from a moped SCO, rear brake and oil tank from an Ironhead Sportster, and more – on construction took about 300 hours of working time. According to James, when so much time sitting on the same project, the lost sense of reality and you're just doing operation after operation, and when the work is finished – I can't believe that you did it.
