    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I was going to make some forward controls, but the cases stick out so much the bike would be as wide as a car. So i think im just gonna stick with some highway pegs and the mids.

Good idea, the mids will save the wear and tear on your back. Highway pegs are ok for stretching out on long rides. I have no highway pegs or forwards on my bobber, glad i never went that way
 
Yea i think it will def take some of the shock from my back. Got any good pics of yours?
 
I actually liked the red/black paint better.. built the bike, sold it.. bought it back and had to paint it because everbody askd me why i was riding the other guys bike.. even though it was mine first. (He rode it a LOT). If you click the other pic's they will blow up to a larger size
 
ATB, this is your bike?!! Dude, Ive had this pic for a while and it was the inspiration for me on building my bike.. If its yours, I just flat out love the look, stance, everything about it.

Thanks for the inspiration Bud!

That was right after it was built a few years ago. I think that pic was posted on bobbertown by a friend of mine. Thanks for the compliments. I think you did a GREAT job with yours..

Quick question, as I know a few guys building GS750's and bigger GS's and everyone asks about tanks.

What year and model tank is on that bike! Ive had a hell of a time coming up with a tank that fits the triple backbone and most guys are just cuttin the whole nine yards out and building a single. Thanks for your time Bud. Least I finally found out who built it!

P.S. that pick has made the rounds. I think I got it off of a google search. I might be stealing your paint layout too!

Hey get it as far as paint design.. check out some of the old style designs her for some ideas http://www.craig.howell.net/legend06/index66.htm.. The gas tank is a stock 750 tank with a high, wide tunnel to clear the wide backbone. If i had to do over, i would put a single bar backbone for more tank capacity and ease of tank building.. The buells in the background are mine with the red skins and my best friends taken in 2003. Still have the buell and the red red skins , just swapped them out for black. Like the 750 bobber, black.

Yep, cuttin the backbone seems to be the way to go. Thats what I've been telling people anyways. Hindsight, I should have cut mine out from the get-go. Ill check the paint layouts out. Ive got so much black going on, I gotta bust it up somehow or another.

Thanks for the info though and thanks for the build ya did. Sure influenced my build!
