Default a little progress on my bobber project



there she is so far. new risers are next possibly new bars and mirrors not sure just yet.

i ended up going with the smaller la rosa solo seat.





built a battery cover from an old grill lid i had laying around. just cut & trimed the stainless lid to fit.

That is one sweet looking bike!
One thing that puzzles me about the bobber thing and lack of fenders: I'd be concerned about the junk the front tire would throw into the radiator and the back tire would throw up my back. Not to mention the paranoia about my *** coming off the seat and onto the tire!
