A little more progress on the chop/bob updated 2-21-11 RUNNING VIDS!

Really nice.  I love how it simultaneously looks like a Monster and a custom old school chopper.  I think you've really struck a great balance.  Though I have to admit, I half expected to see oil lines coming out of the battery box

I actually contemplated running the wires to the battery box in steel braid to match the cooler lines and also to look like oil lines. That seemed a little faux to me, so I'm just going to use some old school cloth braid wire loom........I think

Looks good.  Nice work.     Just ditch that damn frame sticker.  Stick it under the seat if you want to keep it on the bike.

he he he , i love frame stickers! heck it took me a year to take the reflectors off the forks. serious though it will come off when it gets stripped for paint.

LOL.  Don't be skeered.  I'm pretty sure removal of reflectors and frame stickers were my first mods.

Wow, it's been waaaay to long since I posted any updates on the bobber!!  To make it short and sweet it's running! I actually rode it to work a few days last week. It's not painted yet. I want to ride it for a little while and work out any bugs, then we'll tear down one more time for the paint and powder coat. Here's a couple vids. These are literally the first time I ever rode it. huuuge thanks to Duc Stew for all his wiring help. I'll post more pics and a walk around vid this week.

Sounds mean as!

Dude....I think I saw you putting this thing around ABQ Uptown two weekends ago!  I remember telling the wife, "That sounds like a Ducati, but it doesn't look right from behind."  I guess I was right, huh?  About all I could see was the white wheel and the rider.

When I first saw your earlier posts, I have to say I wasn't a fan of the concept, but appreciated what you were trying to do.

after the videos, I've changed my mind and really think it looks great......not to mention the fantastic sound...........nice work.

Man, I had forgotten about this bike. Great work. Looking forward to more pics.

Thanks so much for all the feedback guys! I really appreciate it.This forum contributed a lot to this bike Not sure I would have attempted it without the expertise floating around here. The thing definitely sounds fierce, I made a kid cry already. We'll see how tolerable the open pipes are in the long run. It's more comfortable than I thought it was going to be, and even more fun, just puts a sh*t eating grin on your face

Yeah cloner that was me at uptown, I wanted to check out some speed bumps, not many over there oddly enough. Hopefully I'll see you all on a ride soon

As soon as I get my flickr account straightened out I'll post more pics.

The bike is a LOT of fun to ride!  I don't know what it weighs, but even with stock gearing, it's really quick!  Almost a shame it has to come apart for paint and such...

Congrats M on a really nice custom special!

Wicked!!
