This Death Star was not invented by George Lucas

"I can see Darth Vader on this"

That's what you will hear people say, when they first see this iconic custom built BMW named The Death Star.

The bike was built by Eric Kalter, one of the cool guys at Ironwood Custom Motorcycles in the Netherlands, a company owned by legendary custom bike builder Arjan van den Boom.

"I wanted to build a low badass looking bobber style motorcycle. Something that hasn't been done before. And i must say, It's kinda cool that this bike became such an icon and an example for other builders"

After this first Death Star, many followed. Some black, some grey, but all with that typical Death Star styling. Whenever you're in the Netherlands, visit their workshop. (Link below)
