Hey guys, thought I'd share my bobber build. Let me know what you think?
I love it, great fun to ride. Many thanks to Lancer and all the information on this forum which has made this so easy. Cheesy

I live in NZ and couldn't afford the full BCB kit so I have done things slightly differently, I got some of their bits and made up the rest. So it might be of interest to others looking to so something similar.

I'm currently working on the supercharger and I'm about halfway there so hopefully I can bring something new to the forum soon.

For more pics and a write up on my build if you're interested:

Thanks guys,

The outer edge of the rim is painted in industrial white metal paint. It was a PITA to mask up and do but yeah, I like it, it was worth it.

Yeah the escort van is my mates car. It is a wee beast.

The Supercharger is an AMR300 off a Subaru Vivio. I've designed a driveshaft for it and machined a bearing into the side cover to run the pulley. I'll be writings an extensive report on the build once I'm sure it works. If it's successful I might look at selling supercharger kits for this bike. But will have to wait and see how it turns out. I'm not far away with it.

What is the white boxer people are referring to? Do you mean my dog?

Most people think the battery is in there and then are surprised when I open it and it's only got Bourbon in there.

I thought battery box too, but I like bourbon box better! Cheesy

The current scheme will leave your left ankle and heel awful close to that drive pulley. What part of NZ are you in?

The pulley will be close to my ankle but I'll have a cover over it and just probably space out that peg or the control slightly to compensate. If that doesn't work then fwd controls it will be.

By the way, those pulleys and their belt need a full cover imho.
