Building a Bobber.

So I rode it around for one day and decided I don't really like the stock gold wheels.

Here I go.



Prep for wheels is pretty involved if you want the paint to stick. I'm using a VHT epoxy that is pretty tough but flexible to avoid rock chips.

I taped off a nice lip for an accent and because when you change a tire you scrape the lip up.



Thoughts? Opinions?

Looks real good Stratton, much better than what you started with. To me, it looks like it needs a set of drag bars... something straight and narrow.

Thanks Greg.
Hmmm... I've got a spare set of 7/8" moto bars I could cut narrower and try it, I think it would make me lean pretty far forward though,
so for now I think I'll just ride it. I only had 14 miles on it (& a couple burnouts) before I tore it down.

I had to try REALLY really hard not slap moto stuff on it everywhere- jack it up tall and put knobby's on it and make it into a dirt bobber.
That will have to be for another build!

Nice looking project. I'll bet it's a fun one too.

Thanks Mike. I need to put some miles on it. Too bad it's raining so much- I'm itching to get out of town!

SOLD! I kinda miss this already. It was a riot, not particularly fast but comfy and smooth as silk on the road. I got a lot of looks for a how little I had into it.

Maybe I'll do another come spring.
