Arrow Beautiful Vintage Cross Bones

I thought this bike was tastefully done IMO. I like it...bags, seat, bars, dual exhaust, paint and all but that is just me....

It's called a Warrs Deco Bobber. http://www.warrs.com/harley-davidson...bobber5768.php

Wonder who makes the seat, bags, bars, pipes and copper fittings? I wonder if they would sell the custom sheet metal?

Anyone have any idea where the bags, pipes, bars and seat came from. Where did they find those copper lines? Curiosity is killing the cat....Who painted these bikes for Warr?

Thanks Cammy for the nice words but I am such a sucker for the old vintage styles and this one seemed to accomplish the look with minimal changes. I've seen the german dealer-built bobber but damn...it would take a fortune to build.

I came very close to buying the old 2003 heritage springer with the old 40s style olive drab vintage paint scheme when they first came out. I guess it's just a matter of what you're trying to accomplish...

Nice bike. Saddlebags are WLA (repro). this is a link to a quick ebay search. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Harle...41510002r30424

Seat is a Corbin Gentry repro of the 1925 in brown. J&P, V-Twin or anyone else that sells CG can get it. Try and get the actual WLA repro if you can. It's the same as the one in the pics, except with three rivets on each side so the soldiers gear didn't wear out the seat prematurely. Those decals are available from several sources. Any competent painter can duplicate the tins with a photo to go by. The oi;l tank is a little tougher, but a pinstripper can do it.

Making copper lines like the ones on my bike is easy with pieces found at Home Depot. The bike in the pic appears to have plated stock lines. I think any chrome plater can also do any metal in the preceding steps (copper, nickel).

I like those bars. Does anyone know who makes them?
It could use some red rims too. The same color red as the pin striping would look great.
