    Bobber project pt1

    Finnaly got some pics of brothers project. The bikes just about to get stripped down and fully rebuilt but the pics give an idea of how its going to look. Things to come 21" front wheel. custom pin stripping on tank( maybe different tank yet) powder coated frame and other bits. Let us know what ya think. As it is it looks a shit load better than it did.

    Looks good. Why a 21'' front rim?
    I'm picking the one fitted is 19'', and seems to fit the lines of the bike.
    Also, maybe the mufflers could flow a little better with the angle of the headers. Just my humble view.
    Otherwise

    Fuck thats cool....... I can't see much wrong with the lines but sure a 21" and keep the skinny on the back - tres cool and I'd ride that in a shot mate - LOVIN' it

    Hmm - maybe the transition header to muffler needs a bit of work? What about a high level 2 into 1? Handlebars? Nah - more swoopy and swap out the headlight / brackets for a barnet bottom mount copy but christ - it's his bike and it's his vision = cool....

    Hey, nice bobber there mate, think everything is looking awesome apart from the pipes. Love the flat black paint aswell.

    Thumbs up Well done!

    Sweet little bobber. But what is that white thing under the seat? Sort of looks outta place.

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Nice, like it.

    I'm guessing the white thing under the seat is to raise the seat up to the right height in place of springs to give an idea of how long the springs need to be?

    I think the wheels look in proportion as they are.

    Ok, I knew that...

    The thing with customising is that there is no norms to follow. You do what you want and what you like. If a 21 inch front wheel is what you want, then go for it. When I customise a bike I only need to make one person to like the finished product: Me.

    Good Luck.
