Bobber project.

ChipR4cam · 05-01-2007, 09:08 AM

Well not exactly a project CAR, but it's a project. The story goes like this. My mom bought this Harley Sportster 1200 for my little sister. A week later a van comes over in her lane and hits her. She was only going about 20-25 so neither her or the bike were really hurt. It scared my mom a little, but my sister is fearless lol. For the time being, my sister is on my moms really nice Harley trike. Well my mom owed me a little money, so she gave me the bike.

So here is what I have to work with on my Sportster bobber project. LOL.

I already put the stock seat on it, took the windshield off, and ditched the saddle bags and the sissy bar. It gonna end up being flat/semi-gloss black. Exhaust, lowered, drag bars, chopped fenders, solo seat and who know's what else.

I rode it 300 miles back from Pensacola last night. I feel greeeeaaat today.

Nice looking bike other than the color for now

I think it will look badass once your done with it. You going to be a rebel and get a skull bucket helmet?

And a skull face bandana and skeleton gloves. Plus I weigh like 60lbs so. I'm pretty much just gonna look like a skeleton riding a harley.

Looks like a nice starting point you have there. I love bobber styled bikes.
That sissy bar looks ridiculous on that bike though.

Ohhh yeah it does. It was good to strap my backpack to though. I had it off as soon as I got home. I'll post a picture of what it looks like now a little later on. For as little time as it took to do the bike looks waaay cleaner without all that crap.
