Default Bobbed 48

So this is a modification of a 2013 Coloma Gold Sportster 48 to something a little more comfortable and personalized. When I first saw the 48 come off the truck I was in love. The shape, lines and stance was perfect, however after a couple of months riding it I got sick of only being able to ride for 20 minutes and the right side of my body going numb and my neck hurting so I asked myself, "if I built a bobber from scratch what would I have done." So parts came off, and parts where added. Here's the breakdown:

-Mustang Wide Tripper Solo Seat
-Mustang Passenger Pad
-Detachable Backrest
-RSD Velocity Stack w/5 micron Filter
-"Wingus Bars" custom made by Zombie Performance (9"rise, internally wired)
-BMX Pedals (rider and passenger)-DK Customs
-Tank Lift- DK Customs
-Ignition Coil Relocate-DK Customs
-Stage 1 Download-Harley
-XEID Fuel Enrichment for EFI- DK Customs
-Baxter Clear Grips
-Titanium Exhaust Wrap
































Here's a video clip I made comparing Stock vs Vance & Hines Slip-ons:

The Zombie Bars are 7". Plus I have 1" risers from "Loner Industries" The only thing I changed was the front brake line. I ordered "Goodridge Ebony Series Universal Brake Line" from JPCycles, plus a "Russel 90 degree 10mm brake line fitting" and a "Russell 35 degree 10mm Brake Line Fitting".

Good looking scoot! Nice work! I kind of expected to see your rear fender chopped with a "Bobbed 48" thread title though. Probably not a good idea with a passenger though...she wont be too happy with you after the first bump!! LOL!!

Chop it right up to the rear seat bolt.

Way over used word, 95% of the "bobbers" you see posted are not true bobbers.
