The “QuarterMaster” is the result of a collaborative project between Icon 1000 and Russian motorcycles Ural. Based on the Ural Solo sT and inspired by rugged Soviet navy ships, this custom motorcycle was designed for an increased long distance off-road capacity. “Devoid of the sidecar found on most URALs, the QuarterMaster was a single-track beast of burden”, hence went through many heavy modifications (frame, subframe, swingarm, suspensions) to endure the elements. We especially like its oversized fuel tank, custom skid plate, knobbed tires and flat brown leather seat. Enjoy!
