That is a nice bike. I'm not thrilled with the countershaft on the final drive though. Doesn't that belong to comeone on TSW? I've seen it before somewhere.

I think it shows what you can do with a 750 . I also think it misses the mark . The tank stretch with the von dutch and springer seat . They don't seem to flow . Niether does the jockyshift to the re dickless 300mm rear . Some one put alot of work into that bike . It is a shame that their vision included every thing they liked . They could always add a blender and a toiletseat later .

Your right, the rear tire is too big maybe a 250 at most. Im instrested is the jockey shift. I guess with the right tools and parts anything is possible:happy:

I am curious about how well the radiator works behind the motor ? Also has anybody else seen that cool bobber on the cyote customs site . The kawi 800 one.Red sparkel grips and seat .Flatblack paint . It had me looking at 800 Vulcans on ebay today .

I would prefer 1 or 2 max .The tops of our motors are not pretty . If more people did the down tube stretch a guy could make a killing on a dress up kit for the heads . Perhaps in a few more years DP will make some ported and polished dress heads for our motors .

That 800 is wicked looking, Sin :sasmokin: I'm not into Ape Hangers But those CC's are pretty nice.
I here what your sayin about the Engine Top also I'd like a Soft-Tail Version I bounce around on a 6K Forklift all Day I get all the Hard Tail my Back can Stand 5 days a week:wink_2:

11-25-2005, 10:54 AM
Everybody said I would look queer if I put red sparkel grips on my bike . Those grips do not look queer to me . Unless of course you painted a unicorn on the tank . I was going to buy an 800 vulcan but they only came in blue .

Looking for a black Honda bobber is like looking for a needle in a stack of other needles around here. And there's more than one with a 300 rear tire on this site. Good luck with that.

Exactly. And there's a lot of wide tire bobbers on here, and other chop sites too. The odds of you digging up the right one on your first try is pretty far out there. Now fix your profile and post some bike picks grave digger noob!

Hey I'll stand up for the pre AMF Harleys, they where actually descent machines. The AMF years saw a major decline in construction quality of the engine casings which is what caused the massive oil puddles under a sitting bike. It was these so called "Harleys" that gave the bike its bad name. The current Harleys are made with better quality but the luster of the Harley is gone and the bad rep has stayed.
