I have a serious itch to scratch. Not sure if i'm getting tired of my 696, or just really really really want to build a bobber. Thinking of trading in for a used nightster to bob or maybe a bonnie black.

ideas?

maybe im jus getting bored of her. no idea.

delicious


and the money shot. thsi fat front tire made me need new shorts




not sure i want to rake out the front... kind of too chopper less bobber

good point. any others? another thing is the 696 really isn't enough bike for my wife and I to ride together. not slow, slugish, and my plate even hits the rear hugger going over RR tracks. This kind of just looks like more fun right now...  :-\

A dyna will give you better clearance and support two-up riding.  of course, if you choose a long-distance tourer try the Streetglide which is lower than the Electra Glide and a much different feel (sportier at that).  A bonus is you can get Brembos on them now too.  I have an Electra Glide but have ridden big cruisers for over 15 years so I'm used to the size...........but I do loves me sum S4R  [evil]
Can we thin the gene pool?

You should go check out the new 48, the silver one is just gorgeous in person.  They come with fat front and lowered/blacked out stuff already.

1st I'd say , they look neat but how do they ride and handle ?

2nd, if you can swing it .....keep the Monster and get one of the Bobbers.

More fun that way !

Where is your wife going to sit on either of those?

Great for cruising the boulevard, but what else?

Sure won't solve your two up dilema.

Need to tie your wants and needs together, sounds like two bikes, bobber and ST.
