The newest Showbike
To build a showstepper in this category, you first need a rough planning. One of the most popular conversion models in our forge is still the basis of the Breakout models. For this conversion we decided on a brand new FXBRS Breakout model. This offers a long, slim but muscular appearance. The powerful 114 Cubic Inch motor provides the power. The newly developed frame also offers a lot of scope for us with the classic Softail line!
First of all, the bike is pulled down to its basic frame to get the various parts onto the machining paths – this gives sufficient time for our custom workshop to change the chassis. Almost all aluminium parts have been polished in titanium – and many of our own parts also shine in bicolor.
If you look at the bike in the overall line, you can clearly see that the shape of the bike has changed significantly compared to the original. The bike is not only closer to the ground due to our Air Ride suspension systems – together with our FLH front wheel, fork, custom tank, seat, the swinging rear fender with our 21″ swingarm conversion and the matching rear wheel, the entire look forms a perfect, curved line. To ensure a clear view of the rear wheel, pulley and fender, our side mount license plate kit with inside plate and license plate lighting is built in. The swinging rear fender was also optically upgraded by us: The struts are made of polished stainless steel and look even more noble.
The special thing about this bike is our new edition of the Radical fork! The fork works with an Air Ride suspension and is visually narrower than its predecessor model. The new linkage makes the fork much more torsion resistant and improves the responsiveness. The newly designed front brake anchor offers an optical mega highlight. This was adapted to the look of the fork and to the new radially bolted brake calipers.
The right sound is guaranteed by an exhaust system from Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde.
For the unique paintwork we have again engaged Ingo Kruse, who once again did his master hand full honor. The swinging saddle comes from the saddler forge of Spirit Leather. Fotos Ben Ott

THE SHOWBIKE PREMIERE
Jokerfest Ride-In Bikeshow
At this year’s Jokerfest our Showbike Titanium discovered daylight for the first time. On the Ride-In Custombike show stage the premiere of our brand new fork was celebrated. The mechanic Reiner, who set up the bike, and the master painter Ingo Kruse, who painted the masterpiece, are of course also part of the premiere.
If you missed the bike show you can visit this bike in our showroom or – besides other new bikes – take a look at it at this year’s Custombike fair.
