Rigids
I am torn, comfort or cool? I love the look of old school rigid bobbers with spring seats and would like to use my sporty as a donor to build one, but I also use my bike as a daily rider and can only afford to have one bike, so I have to be able to put some miles on it. I am 21 so back issues aren't really bothersome to me and I can put up with a sore ***. What do you more "seasoned" riders think about it?

RE: Rigids
I've been riding a rigid chop I put togther for the past 8 years, based on a Sporty Sport motor, used a CMH Nasty Pro Street frame...running a 230 rear tire, I love it.
Recently bought an 07 RK Custom and I still ride my Chop more then the RK.
Go for the rigid!!!

RE: Rigids
Ride the rigid, if you want a softer ride just let a little pressure outta the rear tire, also keep an eye for the holes, it only hurts after the first 2 bottom outs then your just plain numb !!

RE: Rigids
Jessie James makes a cool air ride suspension kit that replaces the springs under seat....also some guys are using those mountain bike shocks under the seat.....just go through some parts books, and mags, search eBay a little...there is stuff out there that will save you. No sense in ruining yourself when you can get the look and the ride all in one!
