here is another. I was going to hide the shocks . But I love the wide glide 3 shocks I have and I think they look good so I kept them in sight.

OK rRace. Very nice fabrications. Here is the first of my questions:

What stock are you workin with on the sissybar??
Appears to be 304 1/2" diam.

First picture below is obviously an early shot in the development.
You cleaned it up real nice, as shown in the earlier photos.

I'm using the 06 WG shox on mine now, but the 06 style.
I like that fluted top cap on yours, what year model are they??

I really like what you're doing! Yea, I understand...you get so caught up with taking care of customers, etc. you're OWN stuff takes the backburner! I'm glad you're finally building youself a cool little scooter! I Am so in love with Superglides, It really makes me feel good to see yet another superglide fan jumping on our bandwagon...I felt alone until Mud came along, now you...we have to keep up with the "Bob guys!" Silver motors RULE!

Mud, a conduit bender and a big tourch,LOL!!!!! and God forbid you bent it to far! There are 3 bars under the seat. one comes from an upward angle ( center one), And the 2 outers come up from a downward start and come up. its reforced every few inches.

Mtnlvr,I have 3 Haas CNC mills and a KIA CNC lathe, with a manual lathe and mill, a press brake( 45 ton)and shear,Mig ,Tig,2 saws,a tumbler,drill pressin a 1200 sqf garage,LOL.I generate my own electricity for the 3 phase.I almost lost it all in a divorce a little more than a year ago. I had to sell almost everything. The important part is I still have my 10 year old daughter. She is my main passanger and daddy's little girl.Still struggling business wise ( mostly from the burden of the divorce)but with Gods blessings it will get better.

Traveler,I love the bob's but I need tons of chrome,LOL!!!!And your right I have taken a back burner in life for way to many years. Its time to play!!!!!!!!!!!! Silver motors do rule!!!!!
