Thats my buddies bike and is actually a really old pic. Here are a few different pics. One of Travis (VenomousSVT) on his bike. Another friends bike here in Charlotte (07dx), and SChamberlins bike. All extremely nice chopped fender lowered looks:

Seeing Rods like this make me want to get one. Those are baddass!
You must have clearance problems or air? I have a dropped and stretched ZX10R and I cant go over any speedbumps at all.

Yea... i got air rides. I ride slammed most of the times and don't have any issues. But if something looks like it will cause a problem i will raise her up. Same with all those other bikes. Most of the slammed V's run Arnott air rides, pricey but worth it in quality and ability.

With the group-buy going on this month, we might finally get ours!! Provided our stinkum tax refund gets here in time.

I went from Stockers to progressives and wow what a difference. I then went progressives to Arnott's. Freaking love it! But i am into the slammed look. Best of luck with getting them! I got mine through the group buy back when they gave the thumb controls free and have never looked back!

This bobber crap sure is getting stupid. I wonder if half the people on this site even know what a bobber is, or was, for that matter.

I do not agree with it being "stupid"...maybe not executed well, but if you want something different you have to push the "boundaries/rules" that some peeps have in their mind.

I am a newer rider and sometimes do not care what others who have been riding since 500 A.D. say on "what goes." It is someone elses bike and they can choose to do what they want with it, whether I, you or any other person thinks.

Some know, heard of or are learning what a "bobber" is. Not trying to start a p*ssing match either, just a different perspective.
