We won at the European Championships during the Custom Chrome show the engine.
This engine was there a year unused. Then we said to ourselves that we could make a frame to build. This has made us according to our expectations, the company PENZ. That worked great. Then we applied here. We have a framework ... We have a motor ... we could join here. And the organizers have said "yes".
For three years I have been visiting with bikes during the event. Last year in December I got from HUBER VERLAG asked whether I want to join the Biker Build off with a oldshool bike. I gladly accepted
this challenge in order to be able to show that we can do more than just oldshool bikes.
We started in March, when we heard that we join here. We were finished in September, as we could only build on the weekends. The normal shop business had to run.
We built about three months. Of course, not every day, always in the evenings and on weekends.
There are actually difficulties generally with bikes that arise in individual production.
There are little things which you consider how to make it the best. Then we reject the entire design and start again from scratch. This is, I think normally.
There are always problems. The frame is a complete DIY by me and PENZ. He was born in my head. There are no plans, no drawings, nothing. And since we have a one-arm rigid frame with sprocket brake there have been minor problems. But all solvable.
First we installed in the frame of the seat, because it must be biased. No motor or wheels we have enough space for this work. Flori is preparing the wheels by the brake disc bolted to it and the pinion. Uwe installed the steering head bearings. Marcus joins the electrics, as well as tomorrow and beyond. Yes, and I'll see where I join them.
After we have presented a framework, I assembled the Springer fork. The electrician is wiring already on the handlebar. Now we want to install the fork and the front wheel and the engine. That's enough for today then.
Where have the boys from Liechtenstein the beer?
It was great. I am passionate about my boys.
This is our fuel gauge. Extremely reliable and accurate. They will work, I'm sure.
The rim has our good friend Holger milled from a block of NLC. We are very proud that we got such a cool part of NLC. Marcus Pfeil, our painter and good friend, has again made this wheel a special eye-catcher. I am very happy with such people to contest the Biker Build off.
No problems. Until now everything runs smoothly, like BOBBER style.
Who wants to drive fast, the well must be able to slow down. Italian .. could not be avoided.
This is not unusual in America. But here, for Europe and for Germany which is something very special. That is why I am pleased that too much so that you have the courage of a bike in Baby Blue - Baby Boy Blue - to build.
We are doing very well. Satisfied. I like the bike better and better. The bike the opponent is not bad. Fits everything so far. Now we install another part of the electrical system. Then we let it go for now. We want to make a little show tomorrow too.
Super. We have progressed well. The bike already looks more like a motorcycle. In contrast to this morning .. noon .. whatever. Cool crowd, nice opponents. It was fun. We look forward to tomorrow.
We hope that the bike will be a bit finished. Just the electrics will be routed through the frame.The main aim today is that we wiring the bike as far as it goes. Then we will probably install the rear wheel.I have before me our gearshift linkage and our brake linkage. This should also be installed. We have to do! We hope that we will manage everything.
Today we continue to work on the bike. Today, the painted parts have come. By Marcus Pfeil PFEIL DESIGN has painted us the whole motorcycle. Now we are working on the battery box. Then we install the oil tank, primary, clutch, the rear wheel and the fender. Will work out. * Are any difficulties has occurred so far? * Difficulties we have had none. I forgot only one screw, but with such a large fair there will be one.
Our fork is from a Japanese. We bought it used, revised and adjusted. This sounds easier than it is. It has taken much time, so that the brake caliper and the whole large wheel fitted. We had to re-produce the disc.
It was very expensive.
"Picks." "Aaaaah!" "What are you doing?" "The whole metal broken." "Well then, can carry on the bike." "Yes, I will. This does not improve your chances."
"What happens if you slip off?" "That would suck, that would really suck." "He has forgotten his brushes and now makes a virtue out of necessity." "Exactly." "And with that he takes away the stability of the metal.Good boy. Yesterday we were drinking something together." "And not just drink!"
"How long does it take to an exhaust is finished?" "I can not answer you exactly.
We needed a while. It depends on how complicated it is. Is it a one-piece or two-piece exhaust ..."
"The situation is great., The belt drive is installed. For the electrics, we still need one hour. Footboards are mounted. I'm satisfied." "So you are ready ahead of time?" "Yes, I think we just drink a beer and take a break."
"He still thinks that he will be paid by the hour he needs." "You think you've got the national bonus. - What do you say?" "Do you have the part painted gold?" "No, this is a brass part." "Oh, it's another. He's already continued than I thought." "This is the rim of the spotlight." "Very nice."
"Let's see what makes them so Reini. - He acts as if if he is working -. Reini, what are you doing?" "I am installing the transmission." "Still?" "Yes, good things take time." "And do you want to kick-off the bike?You're a real man! "" Aaaah. "" Never doubt on bobber "" I do not doubt it was serious. "" How do you like my bike? "" Well, great ... almost as beautiful as our bike! "" But almost ... "
"No, not this glue!" "I thought - it was wrong." "
We started from the beginning We make a time travel into the bike. From 1940, even the top 1930-2012 (rear). We wanted to show something different than it has been given. I think with this bike we can do it well.
"You look just desperate. What's going on?" "Desperately, I'm not quite. We have a spacer sleeve that is too narrow. Now strikes the chain. We had to unscrew everything again. But the BOBBER-GARAGE always controls everything. This is always the case with us. Finally, we find for all a solution quickly.'ll be fine. we were very excited 10 minutes until we found the error. Now we have it."
Yes, it will be scarce. There will be scarce. Now the bike gets his second wheel.
Finally break. LIECHTENSTEIN BRAUHAUS.
"Yes.""Yes.""It's something else.I think it's not so bad." "I think it's not so good." "Would ye not drink beer?""No, it's okay." "Brutally much technology.Did you see the throttle cable that goes through the tank?I think that's really cool!" "Can you make." "But you must not." "You can go fast with the bike.""I'm not sure if you want that .."
"What are these rims? They have such thick spokes. Are these from Aykut? He has these thick spokes.""These rims of DNA." "The company I do not even know." "How did you do that with the brake disc? Lasered, right?" "Yes."
"If you do not know it better, to build such a bike. No, it's okay. Good details, I must admit. Nice bike."
Time is short. We're not done with the electrics. We still have a lot of small stuff obstruct. We hasten.
It'll fit. It would be bad if not.
"He hopes that he starts. This gives me courage." "The Biker Build Off, which is organized by the Custombike is awesome. The public experienced here the customs, made on stage. We began in Saalbach with a build off, we never make it again. From Board Tracker to Bagger, everything is in. oldshool . The scene is mixed. There are no trends. Hot rod and Harley mixes. The Streetfighter are there, too..."
I'm just not relaxed. The tensioner for the rear wheel is broken. He really belongs in here. Yes ... I now have enough time to sleep about what we can do tomorrow. No idea. Quality from the Far East. ***.
"And otherwise, everything okay?" "Yes, .. the turn signal does not blink as it should. But everything else is good. We'll make it"
"Yes, little problems, but all can be solved. I think we are doing well in time. We hope that this will remain so tomorrow." "That's why we are together. Optimist .... realist."
Meanwhile, the situation is good again. We have solved the problem. We are making good time. We are very satisfied. The bike is getting better. We let us surprise tomorrow.
"We'll be ready." "The work on the electrical system runs well."
"If you build a motorcycle, then something unexpected can always happen., But now it should work. We were not so badly prepared."
"What you have to do anything tomorrow?" "We need to bleed the brake, put the electrics done, the rear light mount,adjustment works, fill in oil and gasoline. And then we start the bike!"
"What need do anything today?" "We put the electrics done, fill the bike with the necessary operating equipment,tighten all bolts to. Then he should start."
Super. We're almost done. Brake is still bleeding. Electrical little. Oil. I think we can start.
I like it better. With the bike I would drive off. The other bike is pretty to look at.
Girl Power
I chose this bike because I like the style it better.
We have followed the entire assembly. I think the built-in components just great.
"I like this bike very well." "Why?" "I can not say, pure look."
Now the bike is ready. The MONARCH is. We are satisfied. We look at what to expect. The audience decide.
We will now take the motorcycle out of the lift.
Since we do not need to talk about it when you see both bikes. Great detail. Other side a mix of oldshool and Newstyle. The new-style wheels with nearly slicks. Extremely *** look. With this bike, great details, minor stories,mechanical fuel gauge, many small parts by U.S. cars - pity that the audience does not see that. Endless details that you just see when you sit one hour before.
Oddly. The color combination ... I was at the beginning a little critical of the color, if that harmonizes with the gold. Now is not my color. But it still fits together great. The highlights of the leather, the saddle with the suspension, it's all very special. I am very impressed.
I'm happy. He has started. He is like a child. If you treat it well, then it is also good to you.
Do you have beer or gasoline fueled?
Just enthusiasm! *** motorcycle. The best shall win.
He needs attention. Built by a girl ...
For the first time in the history of the Biker Build off, the price did not go to Germany.
I'm just still a girl ...
The world is still not ready for color
Not as life-affirming as we do. No, all is well. He has also built a cool bike.
It is indescribable. I am proud of my team, on the bike, to our country. I'm just proud. Thank you.
