BEFORE YOU GO ON;
PLEASE READ *THIS*.
So here we go.
This is what have been done so far:
Ready for strip down
...the 'scallops' thing on the 'tank';
that day I was supposed to go riding and the tour was canceled
due to the weather...so, you know; I had just been visiting
the "Killer Bobber" guys, and I just wanted to pi** them off
a bit, by adding scallops to a GoldWing, so I spend a couple of hours
doing it, just for fun.
Darn! they liked what I did .-(
Who need fenders anyway
That's more like it. This bike's going naked
Standard seat??...naaaa. Way too big.
Small front fender? Harley aftermarked seat?....nope!
We want 16 inch FAAAAT wheels...Bobber style. YES!
Will it be OK without rear fender?
Let's try this; here's a GL sofa.-)
...here's two half sofas
take off some hight. We want a low seat
Put it back on seat pan
How that?.....er....not too pretty
Now this is more like it: 16 inch fat front wheel on (tyre is side-car type. Willhave to go)
OHHH yes; found this on ebay. Triumph Speed Triple seat.
Short. Low. Has a humb at the back = perfect.
Made a (very fast) photoshop draft of how I'd like it
needs to be modified to fit here
front of seat shortened. Fits nicely
fits pretty flipping good, I'd say
look at that "tank" to seat curve
yes...curve's good
front fender as rear fender?
a friend gave me this old fender-bit. I'll go for that
more (now really fast) photoshopping. Standard muffler has to go
new brace for front lamp. Sitting lower. Speedo etc. lowered too
as the fork legs were off, in order to replace lamp brace:
why not fix them up!?
going for a painted look here. This is not a crome-flashy bike
Rebuild 16 inch wheels, new tires (got them from a freind REAL chep)
and a test set-up with BSA mufflers.
Not bad ! Nor bad AT ALL !
Link to the wheel rebuild
Kind of agressive looking?....GRRRRRRRR
I think it gonna be called Black Bulldog Bobber
...we'll see. It will probably change dusins of times.
Any ideas for styling?
Yeah I know; those "scallops" on the 'tank'....mmmmm?
