To dmilo and all other Sporty bobbers out there, how does the bike handle after making the conversion? My long term plan is to get a touring bike for long rides and 2up, and then convert my Sporty to a bobber. I really like the way it handles now, so I don't want to sacrifice much in that regard. I always want my Sporty to be my fun bike, but I also love the bobber look. Is it possible to have the best of both worlds?

Hi all
I just picked my bike back up after a long winter
slight new mods: re ceramic coated pipes, ground off front fender mounts and powder coated , diamond plate battery box , new charcoal grey flake seat ( the red stood out too much for me )
tell me what you think
