Overview[edit | edit source]
Big Bear Devil's Advocate Chopper
The Devils
Advocate Chopper has proven itself in the American big-twin market with its
great handling, style, reliability and high-end components. The frame has a 6
stretched single radius downtube to give it a chopper stance. The Devils
Advocate Chopper is perfect for if youre looking for a wide tire, chopper-style
motorcycle with incredibly clean lines at an affordable price. Standard
components include the proprietary low vibration V111 polished engine in front
of a Baker 6-speed overdrive transmision, exclusive primary drive, chrome
frontend and controls, and so on. This chopper handles remarkably well due to
our extensive R&D. Our frame and frontend calculations are to the tee with the
final trail measurement, resulting in no frontend flop or high speed wobble. The
Devils Advocate Chopper was designed to feel good in the saddle from here to
Sturgis and back. So you can have your style and ride it too.
Engine
Reliability, power and comfort... the best of all worlds. And when we say reliability, we not only mean the life of the engine, but the life of motorcycle and everything that's bolted to it. Branded as V111,' this internally reformed 111 cubic inch engine boasts a healthy 122.8 lbs. of torque at the crank. With a configuration of a 4 1/8 bore and 4 1/8 stroke, proprietary compression ratios, redesigned cam timing, and reciprocating weights all result in an incredibly smooth running engine while meeting all the strict legal requirements. While looking like any other S&S Super Sidewinder engine from the outside, the essence of this new engine is the low vibration. High engine vibration is an enemy to both the rider and the motorcycle. The effects of high engine vibration may cause premature rider fatigue as well. Eliminate engine vibration and you will eliminate potential problems.
Between the EFI and the carbureted V111, there isnt going
to be much of a difference in performance, provided you maintain constant
ambient conditions (humidity, temperature, elevation, etc.). This is where the
beauty of the closed-loop EFI system comes into play. The system is continuously
monitoring the engine, and tuning itself to optimize performance for that given
scenario or environment. So, while you might not be able to notice power
difference between the EFI and a carbureted engine, once you take that bike up
the mountain, or get a day thats significantly hotter than the day it was
tuned, that EFI engine will easily outperform the carbureted engine (unless you
want to take a supply of different jets with you on the ride).
Transmission and Drivetrain
This is the original 6-speed design that revolutionized the American V-Twin industry. Yet, it's still the best overdrive 6-speed built to this day ...hands down. This Detroit built tranny is designed and manufactured to comfortably handle the power from our engines while looking good behind it.
Keeping with the mindset of making form and function coexisting, this newly designed proprietary primary is built tough and reliable along with a very sleek, new generation styled aesthetics with a cool BBC branded inspection cover. This primary drive is approximately 200% stronger than most other manufacturers primaries with its machined forged aluminum inner and outer cases. The dense aluminum material makes for a unit that does not flex under heavy torque, and absorbs most engine vibration. Another great attribute that sets this primary drive ahead of the curve is the triple seal design on the main shaft, as opposed to an industry standard single seal, insuring virtually no leaks. The starter motor shaft accessory plate is removable for an easy starter change-out. The internals utilize an easy-to-replace standard type clutch basket and a compensating sprocket for a smooth power transfer.
Electrical
We teamed up with Wire-Plus, the industry's leader in motorcycle electronics, to design a wiring harness with no compromises. Combine this harness with the high-end brand name electrical components like the Spyke charging system and the Crane ignition, and we're sure your seat time will be long. You won't be on the side of the road kicking rocks.
Frame and Body
The Devil's Advocate Chopper frame borrows the looks of our Venom frame with it's single downtube and Venom swingarm, but is equipped with a larger 280mm rear tire and different tanks and fenders. We also threw out the seat post in the D.A.'s for style points. The frame is the foundation of the motorcycle's aesthetics and reliability. All our frames are designed and manufactured in house in our San Bernardino facility. Every frame component (e.g. neck, side plates, tank mounts, tranny plate, axle adjusters, etc) are CNC manufactured with precision. Utilizing a 0.250 wall, 1.5 tube steel for the backbone and downtube and a 0.160 wall, 1.125 tube for the rest of the frame, BBC uses the best steel possible for our frames. All frames are 100% TIG welded for a clean, strong and precise fusion. We think we make a statement about our confidence with a lifetime warranty on the frames we make.
Like our frames, our tanks and fenders are designed and
manufactured in-house. We produce the sheetmetal with the frame
as a unit, then gets 'mock-up' before we hand it over to our
painters or ship it out to the unassembled kit customers. We use
heavy duty 12 gauge steel for our fenders and 14 gauge steel for
the tanks. All tanks are pressure tested and the fenders are
computer cut. We guarantee and warranty any leaks from the tanks
and cracks in the fenders for your lifetime.
Suspension
Designed and manufactured in-house, our fully chrome frontend is exclusively made for our motorcycles to be aesthetically cool and functionally bomb proof. The BBC logo branded 6° triple trees have what we call a 'smooth mount' design - you don't see the tube and axle nuts on top. And what we mean with the 'hidden axle' - it's a nutless type axle, making the finish smooth. With all our calculations with the frame and frontend, we've landed the front wheel in the sweet spot of the final trail measurement. This allows for a motorcycle with no frontend flop and high speed wobble. And at the back, there's no better American Made shock to use than the industry's premier shock absorber, Progressive Suspension. The chrome pair of oil dampened shocks produce a good ride, which is just one more reason why our motorcycles out handle and beat the comfort of the other guys bikes.{| class="wikitable" |- !Make Model. |Big Bear Devil's Advocate Chopper |- !Year |2015 |- !Engine Type |Four stroke, V-twin |- !Displacement |1819 cc / 111 cu in |- !Bore X Stroke |104.8 x 104.8 mm / 4 ⅛ x 4⅛ in |- !Cooling System |Air cooled |- !Exhaust |BBC Chrome Baffled Radius Design |- !Induction |S&S Super E Carburetor or BBC-S&S V111 EFI Evolution |- !Ignition |Dynatech 2000i |- !Battery |Extreme Magna Power AGM, 40A |- !Starting |Electric |- !Max Power |86.4 kW / 115.8 hp |- !Max Torque |166.3 Nm / 16.95 kgf-m / 122.8 lb-ft |- !Transmission |Baker, 6-speed overdrive |- !Final Drive |RSD belt |- !Frame |BBC Devil's Advocate Chopper, softail, 0.160" wall DOM seamless frame tube, thick 0.250" wall 3" stretch backbone, thick 0.250" wall, 6" stretch downtube |- !Front Suspension |BBC Smooth Mount Hidden Axle, chrome |- !Front Wheel Travel |76 mm / 3.0 in |- !Rear Suspension |Progressive Suspension, chrome |- !Rear Wheel Travel |76 mm / 3.0 in |- !Front Brakes |Disc, P.M. 4-Piston Caliper |- !Rear Brakes |Disc, BBC-P.M. 4-Piston Caliper |- !Wheels |RC Components, forged aluminum, raw machined |- !Front Rim |2.125 x 21 in |- !Rear Rim |10.50 x 18 in |- !Front Tire |Avon Cobra 90 mm |- !Rear Tire |Avon Cobra 280 mm |- !Rake |40° |- !Trail |95.3 mm / 3.75 in |- !Dimensions |Length: 2819 mm / 111 in |- !Wheelbase |2108 mm / 83 in |- !Seat Height |584 mm / 23 in |- !Dry Weight |318 kg / 700 lbs |- !Fuel Capacity |Carburetor model: 22.7 L / 6 US gal EFI model: 22.2 L / 5.875 US gal |- !Source |Big Bear Choppers
