[Hitcher]

Interesting. How long before Mr Suzuki notices the ripped off rear guard?

Assuming you refering to an M109 tail?

[Big Dave]

If you do mean the bob tail - it's been on a Wide Glide since the late 90s

Dynas before that.

[jrandom]

Hmm. That's a pleasant-lookin' motorcycle there.

First Softail that's caught my eye, really. Might have to wander by AMPS once they arrive...

wasnt the first iteration on the Low Rider? or is that the Boat tail? or is that something different, the Camel Toe or Moose Knuckle maybe? Harley nomenclature is SO confusing!!

......yes.

Bars look painful.

I wonder if you could jam some clip-ons onto those funny girder forks...?

In that pic, the bike just looks worngA. The dimensions AND ergos are just crap.

IMHO.

[sunhuntin]

that right there is my style of bike, but theres something i just cant like about it! i dunno what it is, but it doesnt look right somehow. maybe if i see one in person, and maybe have a sit, i can work out what it is.

[Cajun]

don't mind that bike, personally, i like the old looking spring type of seats, just rear guard does not suit, but nothing a gas axe couldn't fixed i would think

If it had low bars it would look sehr kewl. I like the odd dimensions, very classic bobber (if that's the genre).

Low bars on it and you've got a warped American Enfield Or with tyres like that, a warped Sunbeam.

And the bike that was first to use it...the mighty Z1 of course!

[JohnC]

The bob tailed guard first came out around 1957.
Don't know what the nips were doing back then.
Probably still getting aid from America to rebuild their citys

the "classic bobber" in the range is the Nightster really, though it doesnt have the springer fork.

I am an instant expert since buying this book. Its bitchin though doesnt include anything from Hank Young surprisingly.

some way cool stuff though. I want one. Not necessarily to ride, just to have.

[Nagash]

I reckon it looks great from all angles. Nice classic styling to it, like you're sorta semi-standing on that thing.

Wouldn't be able to go too far in that thing but it'd definately be a laugh to ride.
