Licks Cycles Blog

For those of you not familiar with the name Robert Pradke, you will certainly recognize his work. He is most notably famous for his paintwork for the late Indian Larry , as well as several projects on Discovery Channel’s biker build off. Robert is near and dear to us for his incredible work on our “Home Wrecker”, which was the give away bike we did for IronWorks magazine last year. Well we are happy to say that Robert is once again in our midst.

He has just finished up the tins for my bike (sneak preview photo of the tank shown) which will be the newest addition to the Licks creations. We love to send all our projects to Robert because of his uncanny ability to take an idea and craft it into a one of a kind showpiece. His talent is second to none, not to mention the fact that he is one of the nicest, down to earth guys you’ll ever meet. If your looking for something unique in a paint job and won’t settle for anything less than the best, Robert is your man.

Robert has generously agreed to do some one off hand pinstriping on our Biltwell helmet line. Listed below is the first addition to the custom hand-pinned helmets you will see on the site from Robert. In the future, we will simply send the helmet and let him do his thing. As they are completed and filter back to the shop, we will be posting them on the site for sale. These hand-pinned helmets will be one off pieces of artwork signed by Robert, If you see something you like–jump on it because it won’t be done the same way twice!

For all you photo fanatics, I have posted a few shots you may want to check out. These are just a few examples of the projects Robert Pradke has done over the years…nothing short of KICK-ASS!!
