it has small ape hangers, side mounted tail light and license plat, sissy bar that i made from stainless steel 1/4 tubing, aluminum rigid bars on the rear which i made to lower it 4 inches or so, spray painted the wheels black with a chrome lip, i made the single seat and the rear fender is off of a 1982 yamaha maxim 1100. and then little stuff like no mirrors no turn signals and i am getting ready to do a jockey shift and suicide clutch next weekend. let me know what you think please

that is nice.....i have a 01 rebel....i would love to do something like that....but i don't have the skills....how did you make the sissy bar?

[bobbed 86' rebel]

that aint a bad looking little rebel. im making a 86 rebel bobber right now too, i have been looking on how the do the jokcey shift set up but i cant find anything on the internet about how to do it, another thing that i cant find is forward controlls, can you help me out there?

Nice job, I like the fender...don't like the idea of jockey shift. If the bike originally came w/ it, or was anywhere near the vintage that would have it, then yes. The idea of the bobber is to eliminate, not add. But it's all in what you like I s'pose. What did you do w/ your pipes? Are they cut short? Keep an eye on your valves...

As far as the forward controls...will you be running shocks on the rear? If you go w/ struts, you'll be in for a world of hurt on rough roads. Bobbers are best w/ mids, you can use your legs to get your butt off the seat going over bumps, tracks, etc.
