I think I am done for the most part

I need to give it a bath. But it is almost done. I had it out and about around the neighbor hood. Really snappy and fast. Hate the seat it is to big. Have to find a stock seat.

How do you like those grips? I have been looking at some from dice city cycles that look kinda like that.
I second you on the seat but the rest looks nice.

The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

Looks good! Are the forks over stock length? Looks a little chopperish, but cool.

That may be a stock seat pan under that too tall seat. Maybe you can just get the stock foam and a cover. There's a guy from Vietnam on ebay who sells all kinds of custom seats without the pan.

My buddy is selling a custom seat that is built on a stock pan. It is similar in shape to yours, but not as large. He is registered here as vintagerider.

Looks good Bobber!!! It's riding time now!!!

Re: I think I am done for the most part

The grips are great I like them I am going to grip some for my little bobber they were 8.00 on ebay. I am going to take the seat to a friend and have about 7 inches of foam taken out of it. Is a distributor on the side of it. I am still very unsure of it. But the bike kick on the first kick and rides like a rocket.

I have a stock F and K seat, both are in perfect condition. you interested in either, send me an email. you'll have to pay the shipping too though. but I mean they are in perfect condition. the F has the cowl in the back. the K is like every other K seat you ever saw. with the strap across it.

Re: I think I am done for the most part

There may be a Lil difference in the K to the F one of mine will not line up to the lock and is welded (after-market maybe) ? Do both line up on your bike O.K. Slick ? Would answer one of my past thoughts.

Re: I think I am done for the most part

Okay so I took out the bike today for about 15 minutes. This thing is snappy and has a ton of power. My C50 Suzuki does not move like this beast. I also learned that on should not turn around in has yard. Kinda dropped my bike on me.

Hell I am happy I got to ride.

Dont worry about it.I dropped mine once in the shop due to not putting the kisckstand down,and again the other day when riding thru some mud.It happens.Glad its running good for ya!

Bobber0071

Re: I think I am done for the most part

So after dropping it in the mud I park it and the best of me got to me and I had to take one more ride on it today. Drop it going up my driveway. The wife

was real impress with that move. All I know is this bike is 10 years older then I am and it moves. I am soooooo cooool well until I dropped it.

I was surprised at power these bikes make,myself.You really do need that hump in the seat.I love nailing mine and feeling it slide me back to the seat hump!

Bobber0071

Re: I think I am done for the most part

It has almost double the power of my C50. It was a rush to feel this beast run. The wife is not happy with me. She does not want me to keep it. She just knows how imature I can be. You give me this kind power and I am going to show off or get hurt doing it. So I thinking a hardtail frame and getting this thing low to the ground.

Re: I think I am done for the most part

Oh no,its never good when your girl knows you that well.You need the keep stuff like that under wraps! I've been riding mine for a while now,it still feels fast.You know how sometimes things fell super strong then after it a while you get used to it?Not yet,still a rush. I've took it on a few rides thru the mountains and felt sorry for it afterwards!Piles o' fun

Bobber0071

Re: I think I am done for the most part

I am going to buy a hard tail frame this weekend and start to tear this one down. Love it but I think I want to go all out chopper.
