Nice work. +1 on the orange paint.
The front end still needs something. Big front tire, big triple trees, wide handlebars... and a small headlight. Seems like a bigger headlight would tie it all together. How about a Road King head light and shell, maybe like the CVO Road King?
Hell of a bike. Thanks for sharing!

Guys been a while since I posted - mainly due to taking the Bob off the road to make further changes.
Bought a brand new 06 Street Bob and made a few gentle mods
Then decided to do some major changes
200 tires front and back
Replaced hubs to a pair of 18x5.75" rims
Removed rear rails
New triple trees (to accommodate the 200 tire)
Retro seat
And powder coated it matt black
The finish result looked like this
Ran the bike like this for two years or so - opulent if comments about tidying up the bars and cables came from well intentioned members.
So this year took the opportunity to make a few alterations
Foot clutch and jockey shift
Clean up the bars with no electrics
Internal throttle
Internal brake line
Relocate starter to back of solenoid
Custom made bars
Beautiful orange candy metal flake tank, with 19 coats of lacquer to smooth it out
Re-fitted the indicators - under triple trees and two small LEDS under the seat
Finally I think the bike is starting to look almost finished - what do you guys think of the work so far?
Tank, beautiful deep finish - pictures don't do it justice
Hope you enjoy the pics
