The workmanship is superb. You did do a great job. And as long as your happy that's all that truly matters.

That said.....I was a huge fan before the build. The black, coupled with the fender chop and the seat , the way it followed the real mean bob look, it just screamed bad *** bike....yea there's a lot of black bikes out there but on yours it just looked right. Wish I could say that I loved the new color but the red tank and the pinstripe on the back just looks to OCC for me. I dig the handlebars tho.

This was fixed before it was broke IMO. I just loved it the way it was, but that's just my opinion and that plus two bits won't get u a cup of coffee so again as long as your happy its a success.

Guess I'm a sucker for a bitch in black.

 

The Pinstripping has gone put it in when the bike was all black. The tank is a killer orange candy metal flake - Unfortunately pictures don't do it justice - ten coats of lacquer to get it smooth - the finish is superb and really deep.

My influence has always been Russell Mitchell at Exile bikes - never could afford the HOTROD bike at $50k! Although he may agree with you about the tank paint job. Really wanted to do something different and orange and black classic Harley racing colours.

Thanks for your comments - cant please everyone all the time, as you said the only one that is important is yourself. Hope this gives others inspiration and shows what can be done with some thought and not a lot of money. The total cost of the builds are around £3000 and I even sold some of the old bits to get some money back add the to the cost of the bike when I bought it new the whole think owes me under £12k - a new standard Bob is just shy of £11k in the UK throw on some pipes and a stage one and that's nearly a £1000.

Safe riding and if your ever in the UK give me a shout and come and get a coffee at mine

 

What seat are you using?

 

Love it!
