RE: Bob with whitewalls on ebay

I like it! I'd rather see a 16" wheel in front. I don't really like radial-laced wheels but it is cool. Definitely different. Looks like those are about $1000 apiece. Looks like just the wheels and tires, slip-ons and some chrome hardware. Don't like the open hole in the fender struts where the turn signals once resided. It does look like he's got more money than sense and he is asking too much for it. Probably a total poser.

The stealer quoted me $1200 Per wheel. There 100 spoke wheels. Looks nice but no thank you at $1200.

I like the wheels. Nice. I wondered about Avon white walls on my Bob. I think it might work.

I also thinking striping off all the turn signals and belt guards is just begging phor trouble.

NOT A FAN OF THE WHEELS. IT REMINDS ME TO MUCH OF THE LOW RIDER BICYCLE CRAZE. AND I ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT WAS KILLING SOMETHING THAT WAS ALWAYS COOL. SCHWINN STINGRAYS!!

I like the tires and the belt guards all removed. I have only pulled off the lower belt guard and was thinking about the top but I have a feeling my old lady would get all tangled up sooner or later...or worse.

With the price of the bike I also agree that its crazy. If it sells mine will also be up for sale!!

Why on earth would you do that to a Street Bob. He should have maybe done the mods on a different.

Sheesh, I only paid $1,065 for my 80 spokes that are powdercoated! I stripped off my belt guards and haven't had any problems. As far as the blinkers...no blinkers might get you in trouble. I just got some bullet blinkers from Big Bear Choppers that are only 1 1/2" x 1/2" with a single led and mounted them underneath the triple clamp and they fit right in the recessed area in the rear strut. Paint or chrome them to match and you can't even tell they are there.
