Looks awesome. You gonna get taller seat springs? Looks like its hitting the rear tire on bumps.

I'd ride it! Agree on the seat spring needing a 1/2 inch or so. Rear fender, Id go either way. It looks good the way it is! Well done!

Nice bike. I'm going after something like yours. Good job!

Quick questions though. what did you use to make rigid struts and what is the length of the struts? Where did you get that awesome solo seat?

Thanks in advance and again keep up making the nice bike.

Just a question? Do you have a bracket holding the pipes up in the back where the original bracket was. It looks good. Don't forget a kidney belt. Going to be a little rough.


Happy riding

Never really been a big fan of white wall tires, but that looks nice.

Az huh? Phoenix area? I like what you did with the reflectors on the front forks. IMO, nothing ruins the looks of a bike like those hideous govt mandated reflectors. I actually like wide whitewall tires on a blacked out bobber, and I like them even better if the wheels are red. Red, white, and flat black have been ratrod/bobber colors forever. But I'm putting blackwalls on my semi-stock '04. After I've worn out a couple sets of tires riding around the country, I may turn it into a bobber. But right now, I need room to carry stuff. Jerry.
