Project Cobalt Storm

Ivory Comet, which nosotros receive got proposed roughly fourth dimension agone a preview of a really linear cafe racer every bit minimal, forthwith pushing fifty-fifty to a greater extent than on the minimalist concept this novel projection relies on a tracker ever based Harley.

With the Cobalt Storm, the styling needed to travel timeless every bit possible without adhering to trends. We wish something yous volition pick out to ride to a greater extent than as well as farther everyday, as well as accept it for roughly low-cal off-roading only because yous can.

With this thought inwards mind, nosotros flora that it volition travel cool past times adding tracker influences for an upright riding topographic point as well as nubby tires to gain roughly off-road capabilities. This gives us the surgical operation of a café racer without the discomfort of a slouched topographic point as well as to a greater extent than reasons to ride. But if that’s the primary desire, the handlebar as well as tires tin travel swapped for the consummate café racer ride.

Tank

The fuel tank may await similar i from the exterior but at that topographic point are lots happening inwards the infinite inside. The tank has ii sections, the correct one-half contains the fuel tank as well as the left one-half contains the electronics.  To gain having the electronics within such a compact infinite is past times reducing the clutter. We purpose Motogadget M-Unit as well as M-button to cut back wires, relays, fuses as well as etc. We also receive got an RCE lithium-ion battery that is ultra compact withal powerful plenty to furnish stable electrical catamenia to get-go as well as movement the pistons inwards the Harley Davidson Engine. We also elected to purpose FCR carbonator for its surgical operation as well as simplicity amongst reduced amount of vacuum hoses as well as clutter flora from option methods.

Frame

It is interesting to us why Harley Davidson’s (HD) V-Rod doesn’t grab on inwards the USA spell inwards other countries it’s quite popular. It has to a greater extent than modern surgical operation compared to other hard disk but perchance it does non receive got plenty of the long known hard disk individual as well as character? We endeavor our residuum on keeping the hard disk individual as well as grapheme spell adding modern twists as well as surgical operation upgrades to the Cobalt Storm. From the words from JSK Moto Co. founder Samuel Kao, “JSK ride must ride ameliorate than stock, thus nosotros tin verbalise close how it looks.” With this, the whole intermission is tweaked: CNC Racing reinforced triple clamps for improved handling, custom Gears Racing parent shock, transplanted single-sided swingarm from a Ducati 916 as well as Showa front end forks to consummate the intermission modifications.

 

Overall design

This year, nosotros receive got bikes that follow geometric elements such every bit #ProjectRhodiumOmega, which pattern is based on hexagons. Project Cobalt Storm pattern elements are related to the triangle, whether from the headlamps, the topographic point bracket, or the crude oil drums, all receive got a triangular chemical subdivision consistent throughout the design.

 

To total up

JSK wants to convey out the classic sense of savor that reminds us of skilful former times withal convey inwards modern methods, as well as novel elements to stir out to a greater extent than sparks within people. Project Cobalt Storm continues this ideology.  We are fortunate to travel inwards the modern era amongst novel tools as well as techniques that were non available inwards the past.  Cobalt Storm achieves roughly café racer sports wheel experience as well as amongst tracker influence thus it tin travel ridden further. If yous alter the tires as well as the handgrip bar, it tin also travel converted to a café racer to tear upward the streets if thus desired.
