ASI Customs Street Bob for sale

By Paul Crowe

Harley Davidson Street Bob custom

We wrote up one of these Street Bob Customs back in June and I just noticed there’s another one for sale. This is a brand new Harley Davidson Street Bobmodified by ASI Customs of Racine, Wisconsin. It has a pretty cool look, subtle, nothing crazy but a lot of very neat features.

American Racing Torq Thrust wheels give it the automotive look with Wilwood sprint car brakes and 12 inch rotors plus it looks like those are set up like the one we wrote about before, front and rear brakes are linked and operate from the foot pedal. Shifting is done with a Hurst shifter/hand clutch combination on the left. The exhaust looks like straight pipes but those are 2 1/2 inch baffled pipes so you get nice sound without going too loud.

ASI Customs has a different way of approaching this, lots of standard Harley Davidson parts for easy servicing but enough creative custom work to really stand out. I like this bike. It shows you can do a custom without loads of chrome and wild paint or turning the bike into a real rat, either. It’s no high performance sport bike but it’s nicely done. Very interesting.

    Don’t those machined holes on the swingarm greatly reduce integrity? It just looks as if it would ben given a bit of torque.

    I like the car tire look otherwise. I’m not thrilled with the pvc tubing look of the exhaust pipes but otherwise nice bike.

    A bit slap-dash for my tastes. Kinda looks like the motorcycle that homer designed. And yeah what are those pipes made of? Ceramic?

    Heh. Bikers, despite their “outsider” image are amazingly conservative.
    Personally, I’d paint the thing flat black and ride the hell out of it.

    This bike reminds me of a question I’ve always had about suicide shifters… Why? Is is just so they can keep their legs spread up high in front? I’m looking for an intelligent answer, if there is one, not trying to slam the genre.

    i dont consider myself conservative. I see a rusty looking standard harley with a sportbike tail, extended swingarm, suicide shifter, bicycle handlebars, springer front, and an uncomfortable looking seat. Looks all jumbled up. I think i would ride it for about 30 minutes then get sick of dragging hard parts and sitting on a thinly skinned metal plate. Then i would hobble back to my monster and enjoy riding.

    But to each his own.

    Tank shift (as on my ’32 Harley) is cumbersome but workable. You can disengage the clutch with the bike in gear and, if it’s adjusted right, it’ll stay there until you push the pedal forward again with your foot. At least the setup here apparently allows you to clutch and shift with one hand, unlike the suicide setups with a car-like spring clutch. They’re called suicide for a reason. But hey, isn’t an aura of danger (even foolishness) all part of the biker image?

    I’m not crazy about the white pipes or the tailsection, but I do like those rims and that springer front end. Anyone know of a website for ASI Customs?

    uhhh, actually http://www.asicustoms.com is a company related to tractor trailers in Tulsa, OK. The company I’m looking for is in Racine, WI.
