…And now it’s a reality!
It's amazing the looks and comments that a bobber gets when rolling through traffic, pulling up in a gas station, etc.  People seem to either love it, or well, not so much...though nothing beats the look on the face of a kid, when you smile and wave at them, when you notice them drooling over it!

Here is how she turned out...comments are welcomed!

I'd post more pics if I could figure out how to link to photobucket.
If anyone could help me with that, I'm all ears.

it's easy,  if you click on the gear in your photo in photobucket it pops up a little window and there is some options there,  click on the one for forums and that is the code you need,  it automatically copies the link then you just have to past it here in your post.   It will be the one with the [img] as the first part of it in that popup window.

Bike looks really good mate.
Its easier to right click the link in the top left, then click copy. Move your mouse here and right click again and then click paste.

Sharp looking bobber Doody, I've always liked red rims with black spokes and the matching shocks are pretty cool  Wink

Nice job Doody! How did you do the rims? That must have been a lot of work, did you tape off each spoke? Are those stock bars with risers? Nice pics too! Smiley

Thanks 87!

The rims were painted with a rattle can.  I cut drinking straws, & slipped them over the spokes...still a LOT of masking!!!

Bars are stock buck horns, painted flat black w/ 15mm impact sockets for risers.
