SuperBike Magazine July 2020

When all the finished components
arrived at Stander Customs, my meticulous
and time-consuming work started,
reassembling the now new creation, the
Black Bobber. As the work progressed, it
was like a phoenix rising from the ashes,
excitement as each perfect part and
component took its place on the bike.
During the entire process, Michael
was sent photographs of the progress.
He was more than happy with the process
and the overall style of the bike.
The bike was completed during the
lockdown and exceeded all Michael’s and
my expectations. It was pure enjoyment
to build this very beautiful Black Bobber
for an appreciative customer and every
time I saw the look of amazement on
peoples faces who came to look at the
bike, I knew Michael and I did lots of
things very right.
