Default 08 Sucker Punch Sally 66 Bobber

This is my new toy SPS with a 80 EVO. Wanting some new pipes for her black powder coat any ideas anyone can throw out would be great. Louder the better of course. I think a some loud pipes would just finish her off just right!

Nice Bike! How's the ride on that rigid? Do the springs on the seat help much? I love the look of a rigid. When you're about to head over some railroad tracks do you need to lift your *** off the seat in order not to break your tail bone? I tend to like the looks of shotgun style pipes on a rigid.

put,
If you can, ride one on a bumpy street or as you said, over railroad tracks. As I am sure you can imagine, bumpy turns are the most attention-getting.
Rigid frames look the best to me but I am on a swingarm now.
On my rigid frame bike I used a big solo seat with 5 inch springs. It made it nice for me but the bike itself did bounce around on rough surfaces.
If you are not going to race around on a rigid frame bike, except on smooth roads, you will probably like it.
Since everybody is different, there ain't no way to positively tell for yourself until you have ridden one for a while.
If I rode a little less aggressively, a rigid would work for me just fine.
I hope you can find someone to let you try it so you will get first-hand experience on one before you buy or build one.

1BadSally,
That ride of yours would get me back on rigid in a hot second if I could afford two bikes. If I build another rigid, it would look a lot like yours.

Thanks for the comps! Its like you say as long as you are not riding it like a bat outta hell the ride isn't bad and watchful for oncoming bumps in the road your okay. I love it and I can't wait to get home for some more sore *** and sore back! I have a baby on the way so there will be less sore parts to be had.

You know I thought about that but I did not want to ask that question. What about back pressure and all that good stuff?

If you want more back pressure, use some torque cones.. or you can buy some BCT (big city thunder) baffles, but the exact size you need and install. VOILA!

Badass scoot there man. Love those SPS bikes. Pretty hard core!
