I'm not going to get into an internet e fight with duck-stew, but I think it could be made for quite a bit less than that, unless you are paying yourself 100$ an hour to fab stuff up.

Those guys can build excellent examples of choppers and bobbers from garbage can finds that look great.

Anyway, just commenting on my thoughts, which is what an internet message board is for.

For a personal bike yes.  If you were building it for a customer no.

YMMV TAftonomos.  No problem from me man.   [thumbsup]

You really should see the bike.  Like all of Duck-Stew's creations, the closer you get and the more you pay attention to the details, you more you realize how much workmanship and $ are involved.  It's much more than it appears. 

It's also a f'n hoot to ride.   [thumbsup]   [moto]

How do you adjust the valves on the other two?  Probably never get ridden far enough to need it though.

ambition:
1. an earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction, as power, honor, fame, or wealth, and the willingness to strive for its attainment.


I don't recall saying they actually pulled it off well...

I wanted Stu's Ducbobber since Day 1 and here it is for sale yet again with me buried neck deep in my own cash/time pit of a project....

Not sure which one of you blind bastards ta' quote, so, may I just say lets see your "customized" bikes.   Oh, and while your at it, what year is it? and how many miles have YOU put on it?  Rage on Stew!

And for the record... bobbers are made for style.  The smaller the cooler.

Not a Duc, but I have done a few amazingly worthless bikes myself.

80 CB750 found wadded up & seized in a junk yard.  After many cut-off wheels & a welder,  Wisco 850 race kit, turbo off a blown Cesna, sportster tank & a ton of boat flake. VOILA 136 hp at the rear wheel.

Care to dance ?



And yes I have a "real bike"
08 1098s 11K in four months.


I promise to make better mistakes tomorrow.

TAftonomos

Bobbers might be made for style, but I'm not sure about the smaller the cooler.  At least in my case.....I look like an elephant riding a skateboard on my s4r...

and BRAVO on the CB chop  [clap] [clap] [thumbsup]

kingbaby

I totally respect that.  I've judged so many shows in the past and if it weren't for the 300lb owner riding up on 280lb bike, they would have won.    Magazine bikes are like rock stars, They look 6ft thick & bullet broof 'til ya' meet 'em.    :o

Glad you enjoyed my rat bike.

hope to see you down the road.

I promise to make better mistakes tomorrow.

Patience, my son.  ;)

That CB chop is way cool.  [thumbsup] I saw a similarly done Kawi Vulcan chop yesterday whilst picking up some goodies for my wee beastie that I thought was neato.
