winter project

Post by mschehen » Sat Feb 02, 2013 6:59 pm

I got this very incomplete bike a couple of years ago and started accumlating parts. I finally started work late last summer and its really starting to take shape. Because it was not in any way an original bike I took some liberties and did a few things. I made a panel to close off the back of the tank as I planned to use a solo seat. I also welded and smoothed all of the seams and extra holes to really give it a clean look. The seat mounts I made myself as I did not like the way the ones that are out there make the seat set up so high. Most of the chrome has been re-plated and I just got a new set of Firestones mounted up the other day as well. Getting ready to start the wiring. I will keep you guys posted but let me know what you think.....Mike

Looking good. I for one don't have a problem with someone making a bit of a custom from what you started with.

MS, great job there buddy! Looks like your hardwork and attention to detail is paying off! Where did you get those rear shocks? Great touch for a Bobber!

Those are just stock dream shocks less the covers with the springs chromed.
