Bubs Customs - Home

Ray a very good customer of our's bought this straight up from the dealer after getting a good deal including Vance & Hinze pipes,Screaming Eagle Race Tunner & a couple of over things.He Just wanted to differ from the norm a little without going over the top

He sent the seat straight over to Dave @ Bad Arse Trim he never disappoints using the perf leather out of a GT Ford along with suede with colour stiching to match along with a little shape it come up nice.

We fitted a BUBS CUSTOMS fabed fuller front guard that sits just above the line of a nice set of Genuine HD 5 spoke Reactor rims along with Metzeler tyres featuring a 260 rear as well as a set of IKON SUSPENSION 111/2 SPRINGS on the Rear & set of Progressive Front give a good firm ride. Harleys are just a little soft for these street bikes.

Notice no Blinkers we used LED WRAP AROUND BLINKERS along with a LED TAILLIGHT and fork tube WRAP AROUND LED BLINKERS they really do vanish and look clean.

Along with after market Grips & Mirriors these simple changes really smarten the Night Rods up. Not that there a ugly bike to start with but the Aftermarket side of things has really come a long way for these bikes.Theres some real trick bit's for these.

Ray always adds hes little mark the Harley Davidson Racing air brushed which Mark @ Sydney Custom Spraypainting @ Guilford does who really is 2nd to none for this stuff.

Again Scotty,s photographic ability really showing. He's becoming a real KEN DUNCAN

Silver Fish Don't Look Like This ...

For this bike we chromed the rear wheel with a polished disc, supplied a custom made chrome front wheel, fitted a hypercharger and new billet head light. Nice and tidy deuce.

Polished stock disc with a chromed stock rear wheel.

Simple things like Polishing make a big change to any bike

Oh So Sexy Duece

2010-06-16T04:02:00Z

This Deuce has had a full makeover involving custom paint, no expense spared on the chrome bling, once again custom cut chromed wheels, custom made saddle bag supports, custom made sissy bar to fit Deuce application and trick mini led lights fitted for a smooth look. This involved a complete tear down and rebuilt makeover.

AFTER SITTING DOWN WITH DOM WE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IF HE WAS GOING FOR.THE BIKE BEFORE HAD A FIRE ENGINE RED PAINT JOB ,SOLID REAR WHEEL ,SPOKED FRONT RIM IT JUST LOOKED DATED & TIRED.

THIS BIKE IS A GREAT TOURER

SADDLE BAGS REALLY MADE THIS PRACTICAL.

RAY & THE BOYS FROM DRAG WAY DID A NICE JOB WITH THE RIMS.

THE CUSTOM DECAL WE DESIGNED TO FIT THE TANK STANDS OUT.

OVERALL A GREAT LOOKING DEUCE .WELL GET SCOTTY TO REDO THE PHOTO'S SOON THESE DON'T DO IT JUSTICE

DYNA-MITE

2010-06-09T07:26:00Z

GEOFF FROM STREET MACHINE CONTACTED US ABOUT A BIKE THAT HE HAD & WAS THINKING OF FINISHING IT OFF TO RAFFLE OFF AT THE SUMMERNATS. IT SAT IN A GARAGE FOR A WHILE & COME TO US OR READY PAINTED WITH A NICE OLD SCHOOL PAINT JOB & RIMS THAT HAD BEEN PAINTED IN THE SAME COLOR RED AS THE BIKE .

WE STARTED WITH A FULL SERVICE & STARTED TO WORK OUT WHAT WE COULD DO TO SET THIS APART FROM THE NORM. 1ST WE THOUGHT OUR CUSTOM MADE CAM COVER WOULD SUIT THE OLD SCHOOL LOOK TO A TEE. WHICH ONCE WE SORTED THAT OUT WE WERE ABLE TO DO THE PIPES WHICH THE BIKE DID'NT HAVE WHEN IT CAME UP.

WE GOT HOLD OF A SUPER TRAP MUFFLER, BEING ABLE TO ADD OR TAKE DISC'S AWAY GIVES A LOT MORE OPTIONS WITH SOUND & PERFORMANCE . .THE HEADERS WERE MADE IN HOUSE

SCOTTY GOT CREATIVE WITH THE AIR CLEANER COVER TO KEEP THE LOOK & TO ALLOW MORE AIR FLOW.

THAN IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF THE FINISHING TOUCHES LIKE A SET OF OUR CUSTOM MADE SPRINGS

AND PLENTY OF CERAMIC COATING LIKE THE SHOCK COVERS,CAM COVER WITH POLISHED FIN'S PIPES & ETC

SCOTTY'S GETTING REAL INVENTIVE WITH THE CAMERA.

OVER ALL NOT A BIG JOB BUT IT JUST GO'S TO SHOW SMART CHOICES CAN REALLY SET A BIKE APART FROM THE NEXT

HE'S EVEN LAYING ON THE GROUND TO TAKE PICTURES. GREAT BIKE FOR SOME LUCKY PERSON.

Waynes trick fatboy

2010-05-27T03:17:00Z

Wayne has been a customer of ours for a while now he also owned the nice Sportster we listed a while back. A little while ago he got hold of a Black Ice coloured Fat Boy & bought it in completely stock & asked what can you do to get this looking trick.

The changes are Huge between Custom & Stock

1st thing we did was the wheels Harley have great rim called the Stinger we got a set of these along with matching discs & pulley in a 18"

Next we fitted a set of Mini Apes with a Freight Train Narcell with Chrome Switch Blocks with Braided lines Smoked Blinker Lenses a nice set of Arlen Ness mirriors & Zodiac Grips which just suits it to the ground & keeps the front end nice & solid.

We than fitted one of the nicest Dash Panels Harley has along with a Trick Brushed Aluminum Speedo Taco Combo with Flush Mount Gas Caps all in Chrome.

To get the best sound we fitted a set of Vance & Hinze Big Radius Pipes in Chrome with a Daytona Twin Tec & a Genuine HD Heavy Breather which Scotty maped Perfectly the thing sounds & runs great .

Along with a LED Rear taillight & lay down Number plate this 2010 FatBoy that really turns heads.

The Smoked Taillight & Blinkers really tighten the the tail up.

Scott"s location for the photo shoot suits this bike well

Twin Cam Tensioner Shoes Worn Out

2009-12-18T09:52:00Z

Twin Cam 88 models have a tensioner shoe that wears out , there are 2, 1 is on the primary drive seen here the other is behind this which drives the rear and front cams. If you suspect a noise then this one possibility. This one is so bad there is no shoe left and its steel on steel which is not really good.

Fuel Filter EFI Don't Forget to Change it!

2009-12-18T09:38:00Z

The old fuel filter blocked trickey. That will stuff you out the back of woop woop when the bike refuses to go any faster than 60 kph. Unfortunately one of returned solders copped this one. Some little man failed to change it when he was meant to and it slowly clogged up full of crap 14 thou later. Every 40km we change them here in Aus. because they need it , period.

145cu in Softy Breaks Out ... Again!

2009-12-18T09:29:00Z

This little beast didn't just crack the gearbox mount plate but sheared it in 2 places. I guess you might as well go out with a bang!

Completely Snapped

Fuel Injected Pan Head Replica? Yep!

2009-12-18T09:05:00Z

Why would you want to make a carby bike a fuel injected bike? Well if you are Scotty then that's only the surface, scratch a little deeper. What bike is it you say, uhm its like this JD and Scotty made a frame used 1948 castings and put a Twin cam in it.

So what, I've seen it done before, not this time. Bub's makes its own pan head look rocker boxes out of solid aircraft alloy billet to match its finned pan head cam cover for TC as well and you would be nuts to say oh yeah seen it before, they are unique and so a 1948 hand shift 106 worked Twin Pan was born for 1 year.

Then Scotty says I'll EFI it with no digital speedo and no indicators and no wire harness. It's cool I'll just teach myself and see what happens. First thing is it's got to look the same as before = sporty pump from the bottom, see.The tanks are repo 3.5 gallon shovel tanks.

4.2 Gear Box? It Was a 5 Speed

2009-12-18T08:58:00Z

Does your bike make a noise when you push it with out the engine running? Well this is yours or did you just sell it to the next bloke? What goes around comes around.

Custom Nite Rod Bagger

2009-12-18T07:37:00Z

V-Rod with FLHT panniers brackets by BUB'S CUSTOMS front guard FLHT narrowed in house by steel master JD rear springs are in house design and locally manufactured to be 85% heavier than stock. This bike is ridden not hidden and is a real testimony to the owners needs.

The Heavyer Springs on this really allow it to be a great Touring bike
