The unchopped bobber 1st look

[T99Ford]

Looks sharp, man! I think I would go with clubs, or at least drag bars if you don't want to be leaned too far forward. You would not believe the handling difference. But then, I am just not a fan of the rototilller handles

Really nice work, though. That thing looks clean like only you can do!

Whoa!

Nice work!!!

Ok it's finally done. I've put about 30 miles on it and it runs great. Like a new bike. It's the best one I've had yet.

WHERE'd you find that SEAT!

I need one!

Whats the story on those shocks? are those shorties?

[Montreux_Blue]

Get some XS11 Standard bars, that's what's on mine.

Ok, I got the carbs back in and everthing is ready....other than the tank, brake light and rear views.
I'm having a hell of a time with the tank liner. I put it in during a cold snap and it wouldn't set up. I ended up with thick, and thin spots and an over all crappy job. So now I'm removing the liner and starting over. It's a heck of a lot harder to get out than put in. I guess that holds true with alot of things.

Do you think I should put some clubman bars on there and ditch those buckhorns? How about a Maxim tank?

[xs11lover]

I got the carbs now, I should have them in tonight after all the Easter dinners. Will post update soon...I hope.

I'm amazed at how good that sportster seat looks on there , good work man .

[T99Ford]

It does look good! I have a seat from the bay that I will be messing with soon. I am building a cafe bike for the Snap On dealer right now, and that is taking up most of my bike time at the moment, but I hope to get to that soon. I keep looking at all of you pics for the inspiration, though!

[xs11lover]

I've been tightening all the bolts to spec, put a liner in the tank, and getting the brakes around, carbs should be ready soon.

I keep checking for more pictures and studying the ones you've posted. I think you've done an awesome job of customizing your ride without ruining it. I really like the simple clean look of your bike!
Thanks for sharing your work!

That looks real nice and it's nice to see it done without destroying the bike. It's also nice to see the attention to detail and clean machine.

I don't know, I kind of like the "HUGE" signals. I do need a brake light of some sort. - - -

Hi XS11lover,
I don't see any rear light at all? How about switching the amber lenses for red ones, getting a $20 6-lamp to 4-lamp trailer light converter from NAPA and swapping in dual filament bulbs and bulb holders?
That way you have twin tail lights and combo brake/turn lights all in two lamps.

The front fender also serves as a fork brace, so if you pull the fender you need to put on a brace, to keep the forks in alignment under stress.

That's exactly what I've been looking for in a seat. Wish I knew what it came off, so I could search better.
