Brass Balls Shifts into High Gear with BAKER Drivetrain
BAKER Now Available For the Above Average Bike
Dar Holdsworth, Darwin Motorcycles’ BossMan, reported today that as of May 1, 2009 every motorcycle from the firm will feature a BAKER transmission as standard equipment. This includes all of the custom production motorcycles as well as the price leading Model 1 motorbike.
“I started this company with the premise to build the ‘above average bike for the average Joe’ and each year we have delivered on that commitment by continuous improvement of manufacturing techniques, component selection and customer care,” explained Holdsworth. “ I am ecstatic to include BAKER Drivetrain in our family of American firms that support our company. This bullet-proof transmission is now standard on all of our custom-production Bobbers and Choppers.”
Even though sourcing from BAKER Drivetrain is a premium upgrade, the quality, prestige and reduced warranty issues more than justifies the investment.
“BAKER Drivetrain has a history of doing business with premier custom builders and industry leaders,” explained Bert Baker. “We shy away from the copy cats and the me-too companies because that’s not what we’re about. The new alliance with Dar and Brass Balls Bobbers is no exception. These hard working folks from Oklahoma manufacture American motorcycles with deep rooted design cues inspired from classic American motorcycling history. “
“The Model 1 is the most important motorbike in our stable for 2009. We feel that including the BAKER Drivetrain provides us with a clear distinction as the value leader in the custom-production Bobber at just $15,995,” commented Holdsworth.
Holdsworth began working on getting the BAKER Drivetrain product in the lineup after building a ground-up custom Bobber that featured one of BAKER’s first Powerbox transmissions. The comparison with the production unit was night and day in terms of shift smoothness, build quality and noise.
