I'm not much of a fan of "customs", particularly choppers, but this one sort of gets me going. On ebay...

Thruxton based bobber

needs more stretch in the rear, and to be lowered about 2-3''.

I like the idea but I'd do it different.

Apparently, you're not alone. Last I looked it had quite a few bids and the price was rising. Me...well, something is amiss there to my eyes.

So if I ever decide to sell my Bonnie I should chop it first...and it will double in value.

Yeh - lol

This bike was done wrong - sure hope for whom ever baught it doesnt fly off the back.
If professionals truly did build this bike, then shame on them!

The back of the seat should have been raised. Aside from that I wouldn't lower or stretch it because then things go scrapey scrapey, and there is no reason why this wouldn't handle the twisties as well as a regular Bonnie.

I think the reason why it looks a little off compared top vintage bobbers is that the engine is taller so the rest of the bike looks overly tall.

I dig it.

:-D :-D :-D :-D

What is not to like. It needs a different seat, mhop, but I could and would ride the wheels off this pretty little girl.

I am in total agreement with the Jazzman

Steve, gears and all mechanical contrivances

For some reason that bike actually angers me.

I think I would have left the rearsets on. The placement of the pegs seems wrong. Other than that it's pretty cool.

I totally agree. i think i would go into a violent fit of rage if i that guy parked that thing next to me.

At least some velocity stacks.
It looks unfinished the way it is

here's mine:

It's not a HD wannabe, it's a Triumph chopper wannabe

 

[PolockJoe]

Vomit comes to mind. With a smaller tank (2 gal or so) may look better.

 

[Whitehurst]

Triumph - the original bobber rat bike.

Chop em, slice them, slam them - its all good of done right.

Let us see it when its all done - cool stuff...
