Title: Nearing completion-Another Bobber Post by Tiefighterpilot on 09/24/10 at 16:32:19 Almost done! I have been reading (this forum), wrenching, tweaking, scraping knuckles, spilling stuff, and hacksawing for months... but now it is almost done. Thanks to all those on this site, giving me information and courage to do what didn't know I can do. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_wejzwuyidIA/TJ0ycILzCzI/AAAAAAAAAPs/xmRrs73pyHY/s640/IMG_0232.JPG Where it is today. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_wejzwuyidIA/TJ0ydFjAAmI/AAAAAAAAAP8/30ALn67IXtM/s640/IMG_0236.JPGClose up. http://lh3.ggpht.com/_wejzwuyidIA/TBVxzIxVkII/AAAAAAAAAN8/yVHX6d46UYk/s640/IMG_0176.JPG Without fender. http://lh3.ggpht.com/_wejzwuyidIA/TBVx0OU1lrI/AAAAAAAAAOE/xmfFTDt_6vs/s512/IMG_0178.JPG BCB seat.

Title: Re: Nearing completion-Another Bobber Post by Savage_Amusement on 09/24/10 at 19:40:24 Is it the way they the seat or the way you mounted it that puts it over the tank like that? How comfy is the seat? I have a different tank that isn't as long as stock so I might be alright. I have been eying their seats, still just not 100% sure how I'm going to finish the rear half of my bike lol. |

Title: Re: Nearing completion-Another Bobber Post by Tiefighterpilot on 09/24/10 at 23:29:15 I had the fender off while it was being painted. I really liked the way it looked. But being in SF, riding in wet weather was not very fun. Get a nice wet spray. 12617D66663522500 wrote:

Title: Re: Nearing completion-Another Bobber Post by Tiefighterpilot on 09/24/10 at 23:32:04 The is actually mounted where the tank ends. The seat is very different from the stock. Much wider. Feels like I gained an inch on seat height. However, I got used to it fast. It is also very comfortable. I will not go back to the stock seat. 062A372B203736312A372076757575450 wrote:

Title: Re: Nearing completion-Another Bobber Post by Tiefighterpilot on 09/25/10 at 08:49:36 Big seat. It feels nice when riding. It took a little getting used to not having a rear seat. Almost feels like I am going to fall off. Likely it was in my head, knowing there that the seat ended closer to my butt. 7E524F53584F4E49524F580E0D0D0D3D0 wrote:

Title: Re: Nearing completion-Another Bobber Post by Tiefighterpilot on 09/25/10 at 08:56:15 Thank you. The paint looks very white in the photo, but its actually pearl white. I bought this bike because of the color. Pretty rare color for a bike. I rattlecan sprayed painted the fender to match. It took some work and time, but it was better than a body shop wanting to charge me $400 or so for just a fender. It did take more work than expected... primer, base coats, wetsandings, pearl coats, and clear coats. It came out very close to the original pear white... most people dont realize the fender paint is different from the tank. 6D584F4F44595C6E5C4B5C5A583D0 wrote:

Title: Re: Nearing completion-Another Bobber Post by SimonTuffGuy on 09/26/10 at 07:16:59 Any chance you could get an up close shot of how the fender mounts to the swing arm up front? |

Title: Re: Nearing completion-Another Bobber Post by Savage_Amusement on 09/27/10 at 10:54:48 How good of quality would you say the exhaust is? I'm really interested in it, but I'd like to hear it first and know if it is decent or kind of cheap. |
