It still pops up in the news from time to time though thanks to custom shops like Japanese Bad Land, which like to dig them up and transform them into custom wonders. Like in the case of this one here, called post-conversion Blue Power.
Shown for the first time in 2015 and still listed on the shop’s website, the two-wheeler gets its name from the shades of blue that have been slapped onto its main body parts, but also on the frame.
The hue is not the only change made, although it is, naturally, the most obvious one. The reshaped Rocker rides on Performance Machine wheels, with the front one sized 23 inches in diameter, and the rear one 18 inches in diameter and 300 mm wide. The same crew also supplied parts of the braking hardware.
Bad Land itself came with the general idea of the build, and made in-house the fenders slapped over the wheels, while Arlen Ness was responsible for the headlight. Ken’s Factory is who made the grip and floorboard, while the exhaust, the only major addition made to the stock engine, was supplied by Vance & Hines.
Bad Land does not say how much the Blue Power cost to put together, and we have no info on the motorcycle’s current whereabouts.
