Title: Rockin' Bobbin' with video
Post by elitemunkeycrew on 08/06/12 at 19:47:45

tweet. tweet. ;D I finally finished my bike. I just want to add some racing stripes and she'll be done. See 2:30 of the video for my stripes idea.

Harley muffler
Model # 65657-87A

The muffler mostly fit I had a very small exhaust leak that I could have sealed up with a shim. Instead I had it mig welded for a few bucks at a local muffler shop and then wrapped the exhaust to hide the weld.

I have noticed on all of the bobber builds that solo seats sit up sooo much higher than the fender. Any ideas on how to get the seat lower?

Also Nice build! she looks good. I am going for a similar look.

You can always mount your fender higher or if you have a soft tail like mine you don't really need the springs in the back of the seat. Here are some examples of fender placement:

Where does the BCB fender mount in the front? Would you have some pictures?

Looks great!  I DO like the stripes, and the number is great too... have you actually done it yet?  I would definitely do it down the rear fender too.  Can't remember you mentioning the seat, did it come from BCB?  Only thing I don't like is the grips, but I guess they go with the bike.  Are they white or cream?  I love the handlebars though.  

I watched a little of your vid on taking off the risers, bars, grips, etc.  No grass to cut, lucky guy!  Looks so flat and dry there!  Oh, and I had to laugh at your comparison of wrapping the header pipe!  You are too funny...   ;D

A1:
My wife works at sign shop and she is getting the material to to make my cream stripes and number. The vinyl they use is the same stuff used on race cars. They've done a lot of race cars and vehicle wraps at her shop.

A2:
I did buy the seat from BCB they come in many colors and you can customize the seat for a little extra cash.

A3:
The coke bottle grips are white but they do go with the bike. I'm actually thinking of changing them out to a natural gum colored grips.

Header Pipe :-[ I did not know I was in the presence of a lady. :)

I think the gum colored grips would look sharp!
Please post some more pics when you get the stripes. I can't wait to see that.

And I can be a lady, but I'm just as comfortable (actually probably more so) being "one of the guys"  ;)
