Custom Harley Chopper: A Star on TV and Off

Martin Bros built bike for Iron Resurrection, but now it’s up for grabs.

Many of us watch shows like Velocity’s Iron Resurrection and dream of one day owning a ride as awesome as its finished products. But now somebody can make that dream a reality. Because this custom Harley chopper, built by Martin Bros on episode 105 of the show, is up for grabs on eBay. And as is the case with everything that comes out of Joe Martin‘s Texas shop, it’s pretty amazing.

Martin Bros is famous for building both cars and bikes, but this Softail redo stands as one of his finest works. They started with a fully custom frame, a 2012 model 96ci twin cam motor, and a 6-speed transmission. Martin added SS carbs and a hotter ignition to the mix. From there, virtually everything is custom made.

The gas and oil tanks, fenders, and handlebars were all hand crafted in house. As was the seat and exhaust system. Underneath, Performance Machine wheels, controls, and brakes keep things rolling. Topping (bottoming?) it all off is a set of Pro 1 black anodized billet forks and lower fork legs.

Martin himself laid down the stunning House of Kolor paint, which is topped off with some custom “Big Red” graphics. Because like the beverage of the same name, this ride is “so sweet and so smooth.” And if you’ve got $45,000 to spend, you can add this TV star to your garage.
