If you look at a map of Germany, in particu-lar the area around Heidelberg and the Rhine river valley, you will find a lot of well-known names of German customizers that have made it into the „who is who“ of German cu-stomizing. Martin Becker of MB-Cycles yet has to make his way into the international headlines, but in Germany, he has already achieved a „cult“ status. CCE‘s choice for building this year´s CCE „Bolt On And Ride“

Softail did not come as a surprise – but whi-le the „... and Ride“ part of the sentence fits MB‘s attitude perfectly, the first two words are not really his world.

N N NIf there is one slogan that characterizes his bikes, it rather would be „Bolt OFF And Ride“, many of Martin‘s creations are defined by the „minimisation“ of components, eliminating everything unnecessary for riding the bastard.

The clean look is achieved by removing eve-rything dispensable – and NOT replacing it by other components. But his passion for „clean look“ also attracts the attention of everybody who passes his creations – including the Cu-stom Chrome Europe team.

N N NLooking from the base for this cool Street Ride, there is hardly a Harley-Davidson mo-del that has more parts to dispose off than CC

BIKE

2018

Martin Becker is one of the „shooting stars“ of the German customizing scene. His clean and sometimes ex-treme custom projects have caught the eye of the Custom Chrome Euro-pe team not just since his CUSTOM-BIKE 2016 „Build-off“ winning bike „Murder One“, a tribute to Motörhead and Lemmy Kilmister. MB-Cycles is not limited to modify Harley-David-sons, which is another „plus“ on his list – and his bikes, as radical as they often seem, are great „riders“. Which is definitely a major point on the „to do list“ of CCE‘s 2018 Bolt On And Ride bikes. Martin is usually not the „bolt on“ type of customizer, so it took some convincing to talk him into building his first CCE bike. But then, CCE let the leash hang loose, so there was enough freedom for him to create what he can do best: Build a stunning street machine for the road!

the FLSTC „Heritage Softail Classic“. The plushy floorboard equipped touring version of the Softail Twin Cam, a solid cornerstone of the Harley-Davidson model line for decades, is likely to be his „nightmare“ when it comes to customization – because almost every part of this bike had to be exchanged! Which he did ...

TOP: Cult Werk V-Rod headlight mask, adapted for the new task. Softail fender by Easyriders Japan fits tight to the rear wheel.

TOP: Harley-Davidson stock frame and motor but change of wheel style changes the look entirely. Would you belive that this hardcore ride once was a Heritage Softail? The distinctive Dragstyle look grants the attention where ever you ride this action-packed custom beauty.

The „Bolt Off...“ part of this build was ruthless: Everything but frame, swingarm and engine was dismantled and disposed. There it was: A naked (unrolling) chassis and the drive train, ready to be reborn in modern „New School“ interpretation, ready to rock the road. Mar-tin took the same approach as on his famed „Murder One“, de-radicalizing the theme to a more replicable concept that could be apre-

hended by other customizers – there is no question that CCE‘s intention is to sell parts, but inspiring bikes do the job much better than any product news. The parts list of this project is long, very long and VERY detailled. The restyling of the rolling chassis started with the wheels: RevTech‘s „Nitro“ design at the front end and a “RevPro” full disc wheel at the rear were asking for a modified sus-

pension front and rear to achieve the desired low riding position. A Progressive Suspensi-on lowering kit does the job at the rear while the bigger 21 inch diameter at the front cal-led for shortened fork tubes in combination with raked Arlen Ness triple trees.

add another dozen positions on the list. The front fork is modified from the stock part but equipped with stronger Eibach „Heavy Duty“ springs and a Daytona Japan steering dam-pener has been added. Downtube covers are the stock parts, only painted black. The small fairing around CCE‘s 5 3/4‘‘ Bates Style headlight is Cult-Werk‘s V-Rod front mask kit, adapted and modified for the task by MB-Cy-cles. Great job!

N N NThe tank is one of those parts that show the magic „MB touch“, which is rather a „no show“ in this case. Of course, the stock two tank halves were swapped – for a one-piece „Fat Bob“ fuel reservoir. But that wasn‘t the end: Lowered by and fitted with a weld-in fuel cap by „Blechfee“, the Fat Bob reservoir also had to be equipped with a Sportster type fuel pump and adapted for the Softail frame. Which nee-ded the re-routing of the speedo to a moto-gadget unit in the fairing and re-configuration of the injection system and electronic equip-ment under the tank. With the seat much low-er than stock and the modified Easyriders Ja-pan „Extreme Smooth“ tailend, there was little

during night rides, your life may depend on the brakelight function ...

N N NSeating position is much different to the re-laxed touring ride of the original Heritage Softail Classic, but the original floorboard position allowed a mid mount combination of the Easyriders Japan „Mid Control Kit“ with Joker Machine serrated footpegs, offering the

place elsewhere to pack essential injection and other electric components, so they had to fit under the flat tank. Adding up the worktime of tank and sheet metal parts, you may get a second hand motorbike for the worktime. Looking at the fender, the remarkable fact is the absence of tail/brakelight, which are now situated in the Kellermann „Atto“ indicators. Even though they are „doubled“, means two

indicators on each flank, they are almost in-visible! The „Atto“ indicators are a marvel of modern day LED technology – and they are LEGAL! You HAVE to write that in big letters, because if you see them you wouldn‘t believe it! While the brightness of the LEDs is undis-puted, the chances that clothing or dirt from the road may hide them is always worth to check them when mounting the ride. Not only

aggressive look wanted. To adjust the height on both sides, Martin developed and machined his own adapter for the right mounting bracket. The riding po-sition does prefer smaller sized people, riding position is „Dragstyle“. No doubt about that!

N N NThe early 96 Cubic Inch Twin Cam of 2008 is not really „the burner“ to race on the next dragstrip, but better than the original 88 and by far more power-ful than the Evolution motor. Engine upgrades for this project are predomi-nantely of optical nature, as the covers were swapped for Roland Sands De-sign covers on the Rocker boxes and clear Cam Cover.

N N NThe primary cover on the left side is a new EMD prototype part, reminiscent of the 1936 Knucklehead primary – now already in production and in stock at Custom Chrome Europe in different versions in black and bare aluminum. You may look for the EMD „B-Boy“ pri-mary covers. On the right motor side, Joker Machine‘s „Omega“ air filter of-fers a perfect match to the finned RSD parts – and the exhaust system is a new combination of BSL prototype pi-pes with a homologated Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde muffler system. „Homologated“ in this case partially, since the muffler co-mes from Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde‘s BMW parts program. But knowing the quite active Dutch manufacturer, it won‘t be

long ‚till this setup will be Harley-con-form too.

N N NThere is much more in this project than what is visible on photos, limited to two dimensions. Check out the pushbut-tons in the triple trees and minimized pushbutton switches on the hand-lebars. Note the clever re-routing of cables to hide them from view where ever possible. Every detail on this bike is carefully executed and built to per-fection. And all components have been homologated. No doubt that this is one „Bolt On And Ride“ bike that will see extensive use in the coming months – and the first ride-out at Mecrin‘s Old School Swap Meet and Bike Show un-derlined the „hard riding“ capabilities of Marin Becker‘s creation. This ain‘t no machine for the faint-hearted – this is a hardcore ride!Text & photos: HRF, Motographer; Full parts ca-talogue (with alternative parts for other HD mo-del lines!) available as downloadable PDF on the www.Custom-Chrome-Europe.com website!

TOURING THE „HARD WAy“ BETWEEN MEUSE AND MOSELLE:

RIDING THE WöEvRE 2018!

Ride it!Touring the Wöevre


CUSTOM CHROME EUROPE 2018: „Bolt On And Ride“ spring tour into Lorraine.Almost every year, CCE‘s „Bolt On And Ride“ bikes are ridden and photographed in the scenic landscapes all over Europe. The School Bar Atelier Swap Meet and Bike Show has always been a season opener for many BOAR bikes, thanks to the great roads and landscapes that stretches between the rivers Moselle and Meuse. Historic castles, quiet roads and the ever present battlefields of the „Great War“, now 100 years in the past have left an almost for-gotten landscape which offers scenic country roads through open fields and into towns where time has stood still. MOTOGRAPHER Horst Roesler takes you through hidden paths and great rides that show historic places long forgotten. Plus the very much alive cu-stom scene of the Meuse and Moselle valleys, which host several great events every summer season.

Great shooting location, superb light distribution make this shoot a great option for the magazines. The angle and details shots offer the most important details of the then brandnew custom motorcycle. Shown are a few ex-amples of the shoot.
