Default Bobber

Making a 06 883 Low into a bobber, stage one complete, time for paint. How hard to get off the tank and rear fender? Going for some flat black on the tins for an old school look.Thanks

Sounds pretty cool, its just not a bobber without flat black paint. To me thats what sets them apart from other bikes. Make sure you post some pics when its done.

Tank's a piece of cake. I haven't done a rear fender on the 06. What else are you planning to do to bob it?
