We had the pleasure of photographing the Zero Engineering Type 5 bobber, bolted together by Action Motorcycles in Sydney in late 2012. Our photos and feature story have been featured in issue 127 of Heavy Duty Magazine, which is on sale right now!

Modelled around the Zero Engineering bike seen in the Iron Man films, this Type 5 is powered by a Harley Davidson twin and 5-speed ‘box, but boasts custom paint and other aesthetic treatments, such as the ‘Iron Man’ short exhaust. Perhaps the best thing about the Zero bikes is that they’re ADR compliant, registered and ready to ride.

As always, we’ve got a series of FREE desktop wallpaper images for you to enjoy and strobist fans will find our lighting information and EXIF data on each image’s caption, too. Simply CLICK HERE or on the thumbnails below to visit our Flickr page where all the goodies lay in wait for your visit.

We just got our sweaty hands on copies of issue 15 of Heavy Duty Hot Rods magazine which goes on sale soon. Hosking Industries has two photo shoots inside this issue, including the one on this, Steven Cooke’s awesomely ratty 1954 Ford Victoria kustom.

Steve’s sled boasts a huge array of body mods and runs a 302ci Ford V8, riding on airbags for that snake-belly low stance. It’s plenty rough around the edges, but that’s how Steve likes it; making for trouble-free, worry-free cruising. He’s always got a nicer ’60s kustom in the garage if he’s wanting to worry about dents and scratches. Be sure to pick up a copy of issue 15 when it goes on sale.

As always, we’ve got a few FREE desktop wallpaper images of the car on our Flickr page for you to download. You’ll find EXIF data and lighting info on each image’s caption, too. CLICK HERE or on the thumbnails below to jump.
