German Made Chief Bobber Additions
German parts and accessory manufacturer ABM says that the response to its WUNDERKIND branded launch of a selection of parts and accessories for the Indian Chief Bobber and " similar models " was so positive that it has released details of more modelspecific accessories . " In the spring we developed a large number of parts for this popular motorcycle ," said Managing Director Christian Mehlhorn . " They gave the bike a new look in selected areas , but we have continued with the development work in order to be able to offer riders a proper reinterpretation and update that offers convincing Bobber styling . " We now offer a selection of nearly 20 parts - starting with subtle improvements in the design , through optimization of the ergonomics to a complete conversion of the rear ." At the front , a new riser design allows riders to enjoy a more convincing , classic Bobber style that lowers the handlebars and delivers a compact look . As a result , the speedometer also moves closer to the fork bridge , closing the large gap on the stock bike where the cables hang around . " In combination with the accessories that have been available since the spring , this means that the handlebar area looks like a self-contained unit . The kit also includes a cover , which is attached between the risers , to conceal the exposed cables ." The first selection included replacement footrests and longer replacement pedals for the original footrest system that have already scored with their elegant design and better ergonomics . However , for those who need more legroom , WUNDERKIND now also offers a stylish , forward-mounted footrest system . The highlight from the expanded product portfolio is the rear conversion kit , which does improve the Bobber styling of the stock bike . The set includes an accessory fender ( matching front fender also offered ), struts with integrated 3-in-1 LED turn signals and taillights , and an adjustable Bobber style seat .
There is an additional ' 2Stripes ' adjustable design of side mount license plate holder , a further selection of matching covers , new adjustable brake and clutch levers , new vibration-reducing grips , mirrors , and " sleek , redesigned LED mini-indicators that make the front look significantly slimmer ."
