750 Bobber
« on: August 16, 2006, 02:43:36 PM »
I saw this bike on ebay a while back and saved some of the pics did anyone in the forum pick it up?

I think it looks pretty slick.

It's pretty cool, but the front and rear fender dont match. Id paint the front fender black,a dn trim down that rear fender. Looks cool, though.

I like it but the spring seat doesn't work for me mounted to the stock frame like that.

I agree 150%.
I was all about going with a solo seat for my scoot, then when I actually bought one
and placed it on the frame, I decided against it.

I agree the front needs a black fender with a stripe to tie it in.

Did you decide against the single seat because you couldm't get it to flow with the tank and frame? 

The backbone of the frame is so level with the ground I think it would be hard to tie it in so it didn't look like a bump on the back.  Maybe without the springs and lower it would look better.

I took the solo seat I got offa Ebay and played with it for an entire night, trying to get it in a position that looked good. After a few hours and about 6 Crown Royal & Cokes  ;D, I decided to scrap the solo idea. As you said, with the straight frame the solo seat just sits their, and looks 1/2 ass at best. I know allot of the chopper guys move the battery and actually notch the frame to have the seat "in" the bike rather than "on" the bike, otherwise known as "konging".
That might be an idea...
You can put a solo seat on these bikes and it'll look very badass.
You just have know how to pull the look off & have a modicum of aesthetic sensibility.
You will all in fact see the results as soon as I switch to the one I'm going to ditch my seat for in the upcoming months.
Prove me wrong bud.
I am eager to see how you get it to work.. ;D

Oh man! I think that's about the coolest modification I've ever seen! I everybidies points about the fender and the seat, but I still think it's amazing!

I did drawing and cutting and I am no longer going with the solo seat on this current bike, but will be putting one on the 500 Twin so I'll show you homes.
