The fire engine red Firehouse Bobber has been a show stopper at the Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show series.

Jon Shipley of Hoosier Daddy Choppers said that this bike was built for showcasing Hoosier Daddy Choppers’ work and winning shows. So far the bike has proven itself:

1st Place – 2013 Bike Time Extreme Custom Bike Show in Muskegon
1st Place – Rats Hole, over-1000cc – 2013 Daytona Bike Week
2013 Bike of the Year at Easyriders in Columbus

Firehouse Racer is on its way to Milwaukee to compete in the AMD Invitational at the Harley-Davidson Museum over the Labor Day weekend.

Asked how the Firehouse Bobber idea came together, Jon Shipley, Owner of Hoosier Daddy Choppers said, “I wanted to use a fire extinguisher for the oil tank and that is where the Fire Bike idea originated from.”

The frame is a ’97 Harley Softail front clip with a custom rigid rear section. Jon put a 96” Twin Cam in an Evo frame.
