Brass Balls Bobbers’ Model 1 – Quality High and Options Low

December 29, 2008 Oklahoma City, OK – Henry Ford created the Model T and Brass Balls Bobbers and Choppers has created the Model 1, a 2009 essential bobber that retails at an industry leading $15,995 and comes with everything you need and nothing that you don’t. Just like the Model T it is a value price leader and comes in midnight black. The place where the Model 1 diverges from the Model T is in the performance arena. The new motorbike didn’t scrimp on premium components like a Harley-Davidson 80" EVO, NASCAR supplier – Wilwood Brakes, Tauer machine belt drive, D&D Performance Enterprises’ exhaust, Metzeler tires and Hawg Halters controls. "The Brass Balls Bobber Model 1 is the very essence of our bikes, explained Dar Holdsworth," Brass Balls Bobbers’ Bossman. "Built with no compromises, the Model 1 delivers outstanding performance using racebike quality components and inspired by the cool no nonsense bikes of old. This bike accelerates, turns and stops in a manner that rival performance cars." It is important to stay true to our mantra "The above average bike for the average Joe" and this bike does just that. This value-priced custom-production motorbike is simply the coolest, best built bike for the money, period! The Model 1 comes in midnight wrinkle black with a signature antique brass tank badge.
