ya baby , thats kick ass , bet gazza with love it too

Very cool! I'm guessing you're not looking to pick up any passengers...? :yikes ...or just that special someone? :D

Fantastic, that is my kind of bike. Just be careful you don't slip back off the seat :yikes

Love the look! Have anymore pictures from the side? What seat is on that?

I'm not really a bobber fan, but you did an exceptional job, that's really nice!

VERY NICE! (and the crowd chants) MORE PICS - MORE PICS - MORE PICS!

HOLY SH&* BATMAN!!!!!!!!!! Is that a log in my pocket or am I just reved up over that bike?!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT. NICE JOB

That's a KILLER, old school evo bobber! I prefer flattrack style bars on my bikes, but the apes look real good on that one. Real spokes and flatter bars and it would be PERFECT for me. But, I'm sure it's perfect for you as is! Congrats on that killer bike!

T

Bitchin' look! Ever seen a rice burner pass out at a light?

and the seat came from Licks cycles..

Heh,heh.. guess my bike isn't really passenger friendly!

ya baby , thats kick ass , bet gazza with love it tooand the seat came from Licks cycles..
Heh,heh.. guess my bike isn't really passenger friendly!SWEEEEEEEEEEEETT I guess it's time for me to get that credit card number over to the folks at licks :)

What brand tires do you have?
Is the front tire the standard size?

Gazza

and the wheel is the stock 19 incher...

Man...that is one of the coolest looking sportsters I have ever seen. Looks Great and the forward controls really fit the look! I have always been a big bobber fan and this thing takes the cake!! Ever thought about a springer front end?? :clap

Is that spring seat comfortable?

A very good looking Sporty!!!!! :D :D :D

That's an amazing bike!

Congrats TNsportster!

It looks like an Exile bike.

Very cool. Just what I want to do but I don't have the balls to bob my fender and cover my shiny factory paint job with flat back.

Fantastic Bike man! I love that rear fender, but I guess I have always been kind of an @$$ man ;)

Man, thats one ugly bike. LOL Good to see a fellow Horser here, you goin to Mitch's tomorrow?

Nice Looking Scoot!!! Like It!!! :D

thats the look im trying for! need more pics! :clap

that is KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yikes


:D ESCO :D

...........Dang.............Way Cool....Hey TN, tell me about the paint. Since I have a new 4,2 tank to put on, I've been talking about doing it all in flat black. Did u apply a "dull" clear coat?
Ya gotta love that Bobber look going on... :clap

thats the look im trying for! need more pics! :clapTake a look in his Gallery (http://xlforum.net/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=1046) there are a buch of pics there.

Gary

i just need to learn how to post my own pics :censor

Way sick scoot . I LOVE the white wall tires.

Go to his gallery. Man that is an inspiring scoot! Good job!

Way Kewl Ol Skewl

Just finished looking at your gallery and I must say that's one really nice looking scoot you have there. I especially like the rims, wheels, and paint. Yer, going to enjoy that fer a long time.

Thanks for posting more pics.

thanks,y'all!

The springer seat is REALLY comfy.. was kinda surprised.

the bike got it's final bit yesterday - shortened chrome heatshields with holes drilled out - looks great! Makes the exhaust look like machine gun barrels.

Man, I can't thank the guys at my local indy enough.

Man, thats one ugly bike. LOL Good to see a fellow Horser here, you goin to Mitch's tomorrow?

Not going anywhere tomorrow, gotta work :(

What's Mitch's?

Hey Chopper,

You did a nice job on TNsportster's bike and I'm getting real close to getting a spring seat, but Lick's is a supporting vendor of this site and I'll keep my buisness with those that help support my interests. If you want to advertise here then you ought to try to support the site.

Gary

Very cool! I'm guessing you're not looking to pick up any passengers...? :yikes ...or just that special someone? :D
Those spikes have a very useful purpose. They are great for keeping that special girl friend from slidding off. Cheaper than a sissy bar and side plates, althoug just a little uncomfortable.:laugh

Oh Ya, very nice looking bike by the way. It ruly looks like a bobber. Real retro!

Cool Motorcycle, i've nearly completed my Bobber style sportster back here in the UK 18" apes, full screamin eagle engine upgrade, rear fender chop, side mount plate, slammed, painted, and looking awesome. just like yours dude get in touch, love yor pipes are they Paul Yaffee?

Steve W UK

Wow, I really love the old school look. Fots that bike extremeely well, can't belive it is a newer Sporty.

--Sean

Gary, will do my best to try to support the site, just found ya'll a couple of days ago. My bad on the thoghtless attempt at advertising, just wanted to make myself available for answering any ?'s regarding the "Bob Job".

Hey no big problem Chopper, you just gotta realise that this site costs Bert a lot of money to maintain. He put's in a lot of hours with no compensation to keep it here for all of us and the supporting vendor program is one of the small ways that he has to pay the overhead of renting the server space. So when someone from outside comes in and tries to use the forum to advertise, we need to stop that otherwise the forum goes away.

BTW: Thats a kick ass Sporty that you guys built !!!

Gary

One great retro chopper. In fact, one of the best I've seen. The bars aren't me and I gotta have a pillion pad (ya never know) but it's great. Congrats.

Thats what a bobber should look like. Hard core, bad ass, no frills and just plain mean. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's one cool bike!!! It looks like that one the brits built on the world biker build-off on the discovery channel. I love that style!!! Bad-ass!

Like the bike, that is the same look I am going for. I have purchased the ape hangers, springer seat, working on making a fender, and misc other things.

Great looking sled! I am very interested in that seat but am concerned that it might not be comfy enough over long distances. You mentioned that it is really comfortable. Are we talking tank to tank, all day kind of comfort or a relaxed Sunday ride kind of comfortable?

havent rode for a full tank (i'd run out of land :laugh )
but 150kays (90mins) on a boring straightish highway was no problem.
(burnie - launceston)
i find the more scenic up and down highways with more curves and bends seem to be more comfortable again.
maybe its shifting the body rather than sitting in one place.

cheers

I'd say it's an "all day" comfort - BUT - I USED to bicyle road race, and spent years riding over 100 miles several days a week on 2inch wide, 7 ounce saddle, so I have a different perspective and a hard rear end!

Seriously, though, it IS a great seat!

finished! Custom heat shields added. Now for the 88 inch kit...

awesome bobber check out mine when u get a chance

Hey Evade!
I know your bike! :clap
I saw pics of it from last years' smoke out online and I copied it to my desktop - it was my wallpaper for about six months! Saw it also on sportster.org and posted on backtalk by pilot.

Your bike is one of my all-time favorite sportsters, and was an inspiration for the direction I took with mine.

I came within a hairs breadth of using struts like yours, and may yet switch over. How's the ride?

Are you doing the smokeout again this year? I'm staying at the Ramada on Friday night.

Great bike -
Rob

I hope I'm not over stepping any boundries and if you don't want to answer that's fine.

I was wondering what a job like this costs start to finish. Sorry is this has been asked already.
You got a sweet bike man.
I'm going this route with mine for sure....
