bobbin' with some BCB stuff
07/31/10 at 19:30:50

I got my stuff in the mail yesterday after ordering it from Blue Collar Bobbers on tuesday! great turnaround. anyways i started last night with the exhaust and the moved on to the seat and light kit today but stopped cause my wife said i needed to paint my tank and front fender. so i did. it's still in the process. i'll prob finish up tomorrow. take a look so far.

cut the rear seatposts to get ready for the new seat pan.

painting the tank and fender deep forest green super flat rustoleum camo paint...needs a few more coats

i just set the stuff on here to get an idea

i am super impressed with the quality of the bcb parts and the forethought that the guys over there put into this stuff. great deal...btw the exhaust sounds awesome

Looking good. How does it sound?

well i haven't taken it on the road yet cause i'm not finished but just turning the throttle here in the driveway it sounds exactly like i wanted it to. a lot deeper than the dyna i had and more grumble. it is definently louder but not plug-your-ears loud

i cant really say enough good stuff about blue collar bobbers. you definently get your money's worth from these guys and the instructional dvd is awesome. this was really a good route to go for me on my first bobber. hopefully by the time i do another one i will have learned how to weld and i can do everything on my own.

i dont have a rear fender. i will eventually put a really short trailer fender on it. the BCB seat kit comes with a nicely machined bracket to mount the rectifier on top of the battery box. check out their website and you will see where it's mounted

there is a baffle through most of the pipe but you can see light through the other end so it's not much restriction. i'll be interested to see how it performs. i was about to put it together today and ride but i went to rinse the tank out with gas before putting it on and found out that the paint i used doesnt like gas on it Embarrassed

. i resanded, repainted, and got some clear engine paint which is drying as we speak. maybe i can assemble tonight so i can ride to work in the morning.

that's the worst thing about doing stuff like this. i get in a rush cause i love to ride.

is that pipe baffled??
