It was over 5 years ago, a man with the nickname BATMAN had a passion and a dream to create one of the
largest independent bike shops on the East Coast with the caring for his customers and their rides. His dream
has grown to be a very well known place to visit and shop, have repairs done and have your ride taken to a
different level than ever before. Batman's ride features a 1980 Shovelhead motor and a frame made by him and
his crew of the Skull Brothers Custom Cycles,Inc.
The template started like this:
The first mock-up of how Batman thought the ride should
look. It had the stance but was missing something special.
Batman went back to the drawing board!
Stretched the gas tank and molded it
into a one piece tank
The second issue was the frame, it was just too
plain
Recut the front and went to something
he hadn't seen before
THE TURTLE FLIPPER
The frame has been stretched
almost 18 inches front and
raked 45 degrees with the one
and only chromed spike
protruding out of the downtube
THE TURTLE FLIPPER
BATMAN'S ride needed many
other extras, the 1980
shovelhead motor was built to
the hilt and every fin and surface
of the heads were cut by a
goldsmith
The derby cover and the points cover were
also hand made and handcut by a goldsmith.
BATMAN'S ride says who he is!!!
The wheels and the triple trees all have the
Skull Brothers name cut in for life
Batman's ride also has
the gotham wheel
produced by
Extreme Machine
The rear fender was
molded into the swing arm,
a stainless steel sword
holds the rear caliper in
place, custom paint and
powdercoating.
At the end of a long week
