Well, just finished phase one of XBONES bobber conversion before the scoot goes to sleep for the winter. After much debate, I went with the Heartland 200mm bobber fender (not the full kit), and then instead of drilling my frame, I had my favorite local indy fab a top mounting bracket for the fender (already has a lower mount), as well as re-jigger my splash guard to cover my relocated ECM, which is behind the oil tank. Then I added Auto Gem Baby bullets and mounted them with brackets that I had my indy retap to fit the strut mount bolt holes, and paint black to blend in. Last touches include the cool rear light compliments of Shadetree Fab, and an RB Racing LSR 2-1 exhaust with RSD air cleaner. I have a TTS, and first thing next spring, will dial the map in. Here are some pix:

Have a nice battery cover being worked on by Shaun at SOKUSTOM and next steps may be the aluminum grips from shadetree, and blacking out primary, etc. Feels good to be a member of the "Bob Bones" club!

I know I'm gonna get **** for saying this but......That bike is needs a chain drive conversion! It would look Awesome with the other stuff you are doing to it.

Just my opinion. Don't mean I'm right.

 

very cool looking.

 

It would LOOK awesome, BUT it would be way more maintenance
Always these dang trade offs !

PS It does look great, the more I see of these (semi)hardtails the more I'm thinking I need to Crossbones, One to do like DC4Stroke(my original plan), and one to bob!!

 

Good work, would do the same if my misses didnt have to ride on the back!

just a thought but changin that seat out would be good, harley do a nice alternative for the bones......

 

very cool looking bike! I think cross bones will be my next bike, if i ever buy a brand new harley

 

beutiful ted.......that heartland fender looks pukka

now your bike looks trully bad ***

 

I vote for a chain drive also. I might put one on my bike this winter if I don't go with the side car idea. Chain drives are a pain in the ***, but.
