The Bobber Project Begins!

deff hard tail looks so much better and meaner. suicide shift would deff be awsome also

I’m def gonna do hard tail. Idk about suicide shift. I might do forward controls tho. Like pictured on the silver bike

Hardtail, suicide shift, no front brake, springer front. Hey, the more of a painful deathtrap it is the more cool it is, right?

I’m definitely keeping the front brake. I don’t really like springer front ends. Idk y. My buddy is tryin to talk me into it but I’m just not a fan. And most likely I’m gonna stay away from the suicide shifter.

O man. So many ideas running through my head. Here’s the exhaust I’m gonna do…

that is so dumb of you to say pjb … really

Hardtail or don’t do it at all! I have a set of drag bars for you nick

That green triumph is the coolest bike I have ever seen. Fuck.

love bobbers.

dont think I could start with a maxim though…

Why not an XS?

https://www.google.com/search?q=xs+bobber&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=eDT&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=k677T63mKae30QHwx53WBg&ved=0CFMQsAQ&biw=1301&bih=679

didn’t even bother posting one…every bike in that search is win.

Couldn’t find an XS at a reasonable price. People want $2000+ for XS’s since they’re such high demand

Yeah I hear ya. I really just want a hardknock bobber. But I haven’t seen one registered in New York.

or cleveland cyclewerks “the heist”

Sorry for mucking up your thread. Been looking at bobbers for a couple years now just can’t justify the purchase…yet.

Looking forward to see how yours comes out. :popcorn
