Default M109R wraps up his bobber build

Take a look at XLForum member M109R bobber build, this started as a 1980 IRON HEAD, and now it's a sweet bobber in my opinon. Iron Mick helped him with the rear wheel mod's, and got plenty of info from all you IRON HEADS on his way towards completing this bad bobber. When I tell you it's loud I mean it. Check this out DaddeO from our forum did the OL' SKOOL pinstriping I think it's sweet. Let M109R know what you think of his first build. Oh I helped as welll


(BEFORE)



(AFTER)



(LOOK AT THIS REAR)









(IS THAT A FISH TAIL I SEE)

I really like it other than the bars. Lose those bars and gauges and then I think it would be really sweet

Kick Ass Conversion Fellas, Is That Alligator Hide On The Seat? Paint Is Really Simple And Classic, Nice Work With The Flat Black, I've Always Liked That Look. Awesome Fish Tails, Good Idea Chopping The Back Fender, Seems Like That Extra Weight Would Shake The Hell Out Of It Having Solid Struts In Place Of Shocks. Good Job Guys.

Default Rides better than expected.

The bike rides better than i thought.I originally had barrel springs,they were not stiff enough.Then I bought the heavy duty scissor springs,they did the trick
