So here is what my bike looks like now. I am going to be making her mine, over time. I am thinking of either drag bars or clubmans (I'm 6'2"). Also planning to lose the seat, tailpiece & plastic rear fender. I will probably make a pan for the seat by taping everything off, putting down some aluminum tape with bowling alley wax and laying fiberglass over it. I would like to keep the original hinges and lock for flip up access, helmet hanger and storage. This may be a little tough to get the recessed area for hinges just right and the lock sticks out a little far and may make what I am going for a little wide. What I want to finish with is a 1 piece chrome rear fender bobbed off about 6-9 inches beyond the end of a flat seat. I will probably trim the front fender to a smaller profile. There's obviously alot of other work that will be happening but you should get the general idea of what I want her to look like. Think Commando seat with shorter fenders. I would appreciate any input you guys have...

You should go over to Big D and have them give you some advice. You would hate to learn everything the hard way, and they have some experience in bobbers. ,BKComment

Octain. That is a good looking bike. The exhaust is awesome! What is that! I will be going with a lot of black but I want the little chrome rear front and rear fender and a flatter more passenger friendly seat. Also, cant help but notice that master cylinder; what is that from?Comment
