txoval, those are some nice bikes at decent prices, good find! Just looking at rigids makes my kidneys hurt!lol

 

What the f@$% are u talking about??? The motors are measured in cubic inches and cc...96 cubic inches=1584cc

 

yea..but when u REFER to sportster engines in CC as in cubic centimeter u don't say ohh i got a 1584 cc pan or something like that and u don't say oh my sportster is 73cubic inches and some change u REFER to metric... like OH maybe 1200cc or 883cc .. 1000cc.. JUST like oh maybe 120 or 130 in motors..but hey y not say refer to both.. i have a 1200cc 73 in' motors.. kinda has a nice ring to it

 

I like to promote Flyrite Chopper because they are a TX based company out of Austin. They have a dealer close to my house and their bikes are pretty badass. They are plain jane and mean business. Heck their tins are powdercoated with out any bodywork/finishing done to them, meaning you see all of the fabrication marks/welds. My not work for some people but I'd like to have one. They aren't very comfortable though

 

I did my own take on a Sportster bobber a couple of years ago. Finished it and sold it about 6 months before the Nightster came out.

It's based on a 1995 1200.

I wish I still had it sometimes. It was an absolute blast to ride.

Flyrite ****ing RULES! Their work is amazing! I'm also a big fan of Foundry Cycles, Lucky Charm Choppers, and Led Sled's work. Their fab and attention to detail sets em apart.

 

alot
that is not a sportster just a peanut tank from a sporty

 

well the whole bobber thing was out of necessity not style.
my grandfather had to get rid of anything useless to get his 1954 java bike.
and my uncle had to get rid of anything useless to get it his suicide shift harley go fast (and repair it for 6 hours just to get 2 hours of ride

if you want the real bobber style you can check my friend alp's bike "the whip"
here's the link http://www.sungurtekin.com/
and he's takin' it somewhat serious.

and no a rigid frame is not a must for bobber (and i'm at the edge of being a smart *** sorry)

it just takes time and many unfortunate mistakes to bob and chop a bike but in the end you just fall in love with it. (and i'm not one of the guys who are brave enough for it yet)
