Default Who all has "bobbed" their Sporty?

i have a 99 883, with drag bars,
just installed rigid struts from Licks Cycles, and waiting on the solo spring seat from them. Gonna cut the fender struts short, and cut the rear fender at top dead center. Have taken off the blinkers, and will put on a side mount license plate bracket and use 2 Nightster tails over the plate.

i can't wait!

will post pics soon

So now my poor girl is sittin on my dad's porch in pieces , but the bright side is I got to keep her, and progress is in the works, will post pics as it gets farther along.

Depends on what your definition of bobbed is.

Nice lookin ride there Jag. Not sure if i would call it a real bobber but IMO, it looks better than a lot of the sportsters on here that are refered to as bobbers just because they have struts bolted on or a springer seat.

GoinSideways, your license plate wouldn't happen to be "SLAMMED" would it?

i'm gonna try to go with your rear fender look.
how did you lower your fender so close to the tire? did you elongate the existing fender bolt holes?
