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

 

Very nice. I'm not a big fan of the pinstriping on the rear fender combined with the new tank color. Otherwise, outstanding work.

Crazy

 

Sweet ride. The new bars kills it for me tho. The Tbars seem to flow better with the style of the bike. Fat bob dual headlights would look killer on there too.

 

Awesome Mark. Love the clean look and the orange.

What orange color is or?

 

Looks good!

 

Awesome

 

Like most of the stuff you did. Nice job! I have 2 questions though..

Now I am not trying to be a dick, but is one of your tires mounted the "wrong direction"? They seem to be opposite?

Seconc question, how does it handle with that wide front wheel? Allso does she accelerate slower because of the bigger wheels?
