Title: My new bobber project
Post by Cambridge89 on 07/17/13 at 04:42:59

Hey yall,

recently purchased a incomplete bobber project from a member on here (Epeck).

Ive already put many things in the works,

built an air intake
straight piped and wrapped exhaust

I drop off the wheels for black powder-coat today

Whhite wall shinkos are on order (should be here this week)

last night i ordered bunch of parts for ebay:

^^ really wanted the wood grips, i'm going to sand them down and stain it to match the solid-walnut seat.

here is how i recieved the bike (seat not mounted)

and here is the new intake and exhaust, seat setup was temporary for commuting purposes.

bike is pretty torn now as everything is getting painted (mostly black). and wheels should be done soon, cant wait!

What does it sound like?

Honestly.... its loud, no doubt. But it sounds good, realy love the sound of the thumpers opened up.

Also has a nice rumble at lower rpms so you can keep it quiet if you wan to baby it through a neigborhood or something.

How well does it run with the straight through?

it runs great, however i have trouble getting over 75mph, i think i might be running too lean, but i never had the bike that fast before modifiying the exhaust so i dont know if that's what caused it or not.
