Title: bobber build.
Post by sillydilly on 05/17/11 at 10:42:15

been doing it for about a month now, have all the pics but never really blogged it. thinking of adding the pics to show progress.

That is how it sits right now.

That is a weak photoshop mockup of how the paint/tan springer/heat wrap should look.

The only things Ive done to the bike so far:

Paint jug flat black/head gloss
Vegas Victory stock bars
Custom fender
Lowered 1.75" with hard tail chain struts

and what ive got planned:

2inch chrome risers
Tan springer seat
Cone air filter
exhaust heat wrap
bar end signal lights
small tail light

anyone got any suggestions/comments?

Lookin good! That's not the stock headlight, is it? Looks a bit longer, unless my eyes are failing me. Do you know what it is?

Im pretty certain its stock!

My suggestion would be to ditch the stock muffler. Looking good though

I have black heat wrap and paint. also a short Indian muffler with supertrapp guts - all new, never used from an old build i gave up on last year. I think they would add a very special something to this bobber. Interrested?

Man that looks SICK with the WW on the rear! Nice job!! A set of white bicycle-style grips would set off those bars too! 8-)

I like it! I'd just hammer on a clear coat to seal the deal, and call it done. But I like raw steel an' stuff.......

clean. Seen many people do way more work and end up with a finished product that doesnt look half as good. good job.

Post by sillydilly on 05/18/11 at 22:03:54

Thanks!

I like the steel look as well, but there is too many imperfections in all the steel to keep it like that, so Im going to powdercoat it satin black

i used john deer blitz black with a flat clear.the clear gives you a colour between satin and flat .

powder coating gun and powder came in today. needless to say... some nail clippers, a pop can, and an old headlight bucket I was confident enough to start coatin. took apart the master cylinder and grinded down the brake lever. did the side covers as well.
