A Proper Thrown

Every custom bike has a story, but A Proper Throne isn’t just a build—it’s a legacy. Designed and built by Jake Knobbe, this 2008 Bobber is a tribute to old-school grit and modern craftsmanship. With just 51 workdays and the expertise of Chariots of Fire Customs, Jake transformed raw steel into a machine worthy of the road—and the respect of every rider who lays eyes on it.

This isn’t just any bobber. Its 100″ Ultima engine roars with untamed power, while flat black paint by Doug’s Paint and Restoration gives it an undeniably sinister edge. Stripped-down and unapologetic, its hardtail frame, Model A taillight, and 1920s Unity cop spotlight blend classic bobber aesthetics with rebellious ingenuity.

For those who believe a true king rides on his own throne—this one was built to rule.
