How about Bobber Pics!

[ctkog]

HOw about we show off our Bobbers .. . Get them all on one post thread to look at.. ..... So who's got a Bobber they're proud of out there?? ?

This is my '08. I did the unthinkable last Summer and sawed off my frame horns! . . . . Let's see what YOU've done!

[Questcap]

Mine's in quarantine! Is it permissible to post pictures again???

[Lucky]

In quarantine! Get it out and start it up! Take some new photos. Dust it off!

[ctkog]

Oh no Questcap!!!... did you run over a Corona with it? ?

[GreasySam]

Not done yet, but a progress pic is better than nothing

[GreasySam]

Thanks gents!

[jim_palmore]

how did that springer work out? I have ben wanting to do one but it looks like it would be a bit stiff

[Brad_G]

jim_palmore if you click the username you'll they they haven't been here/active in a year now. So it's not likely you'll get an answer to your question.

[DermC]

This is where I am right now. I like it. Plan on changing the seat at some point.

[ctkog]

Tough looking bike DermC. How do you like the handling with the straight bar? I've always wondered what it would be like to cafe' out a bobber. You're gettin' close there!

[DermC]

Thanks ctkog!! The handling with the drag bar is much tighter It's just not great for long runs. I may give it a 1" riser just to ease it back a bit.

[ctkog]

I've seen adjustable bar risers with the slot and the lockdown handle but I'm thinking they could make some better looking ones for cruisers... like maybe with chromed indexed teeth at two swivel points and chromed nicely all over.

[Lucky]

I "finished my bike in 2019 right before Corona virus pandemic.

[ctkog]

Whaaaaoow!!! that is insanely BEAUTIFUL!! You did so much to it and so clearly well done... Do you have build photos you could post?.. would love to see them! that is one bright shining star brother.

[Lucky]

Thanks CTKOG. I have a complete build story with photos on CHOPCULT.
IT is in the Japanese bike section. Title is Roadstar bobber.

[Father Pobasturd]

Didn't you sell that bike?

[JD64k]

Don't know if this qualifies as a bobber, same as Lucky finished right before the virus hit.Has round mirrors on it now.

[JD64k]

I made the sissy bar

[JD64k]

Floor boards are for comfort and removable if needed,i'm old and have two bad knees helps to relax the legs at times.LOL

[DEEPHATE]

Wow....a little late here.

[cike]

this was my 99, I sold it before I ever got finished with it. wish I had kept it.. but I say that about a lot of the bikes that I have sold

[Father Pobasturd]

Its amazing how much better these bikes look just removing the "horns" from the frame. I realize they serve some kind of structural integrity purpose, but damn, are they ugly!

[CBord]

I need to get some better pictures

[Gronch]

Here's mine 01'
Still adding some touches...

[ctkog]

Like that all metal finish look and springer front end. Nice!!!

[GreasySam]

Wow man, that looks killer so far!

[Ironman]

That strikes me as an unusual request, but who am I to judge. Enjoy!

[Mr. Miyagi]

I did a lot of fishing as a child who is originally from Arkansas, I really like that color combination on my bobbers!

[Duke]

My winter project. Warrior rear wheel, 21” front, 5 degree rake.

[Horsehammerr]

All up to the imagination ?

[BubbaKahuna]

Not a Roadstar, but it's an 1100 V Star.
The engine guard has gone away since this pic was taken a couple weeks ago.

Maybe some day I'll finish my Roadstar bobber, it's still in 100 pieces.

[Andynz]

Then and now. Took off the ais and went Pumpless now just need to sort the Speedo and it’s done, I bought a drag specialties mini Speedo, anyone which wires to connect? Mainly the speed sensor wire?!

[Lucky]

Bike still not sold. I finished the bike right at the start of the Covid pandemic. Bad timing.

[GreasySam]

Still haven't finished the seat or powdercoated the sissybar yet, but it's closer.

[Lug Nut]

Bike still not sold. I finished the bike right at the start of the Covid pandemic. Bad timing.

Its going to be very well taken care of here in Indiana...

[sketch4x4]

hi,
new hear but i've owned my xv1600 for about 9 years, brought a low milage example which spent about a year and a half on the road them i decided to rip it apart.
i haven't worked on it in quite a few years due to personal reasons but I'm back working on it, planning on bringing it out for summer next year.

here are a few pics of how it looked when it went into storage.
