Not too bad, ran like a raped ape. After coming back down to Earth, and realizing I have no time to tie my shoes let alone go racing all over the East Coast, my boys (Austin in middle, Jared on right) and I decided to go the bobber route. The goal was for a cool, light bobber with a budget under $2000. So, we started with a bolt-on hardtail from Factory Metal Works:
Since then, over the past 2 years we have been slowly adding and customizing a little bit at a time including:
Rear Brake Pedal Brackets
Rear Brake Rod
Seat Leaf Spring Mount
Rear Fender (the how-to video made for school was the first post)
New Front Wheel/Brake
Kickstand
Z-bars
Rebuilt Amal 930
Tires/Tubes
Chain
License Plate Mount
Headlight/Taillight
Oil Tank/Oil Lines
Clutch
Seat Pan/Cover
Everything we did was hand-fabbed and parts bought from the 'Bay or swap meets to keep costs low.
So, this is where I am at the start of this BBB:
A lot in this picture is just mocked up, so a lot of work still to do.
