Default In Da Weeds - Round 2 Bobstah mods w/pics

So what do you think? 3 pics below.

Da Bobstah after slamming it down with Prog. 11" HD shocks, Prog. front springs, lowered front a little, fork boots, new headlight w/visor moved up and out, lots of powdercoating, Mustang seat, a/c cover, SE fork brace, etc. It's finally all coming together! Immediate plans for 2" extra in the risers and then see how it all fits, but if I still need more height in the bars will go with taller apes.

Handles great now and only a few pings from pebbles, and getting pretty good at dodging rocks and pot holes already! Can't believe the improvement in handling - really planted and hunkered down now in the corners and over bumps.

A few more pics in my gallery if you're interested.

Thanks for looking-
Chip

Thanks man - yeah, I was really surprised at how a simple thing like installing the fork boots and removing the fender really adds a lot the whole look. But once it was slammed down with the suspension mods it was just crying out for the rest.
Glad you like it!

And I forgot to thank everyone here on the forum who shared their expertise, ideas and parts sources - couldn't have done it without you all!! THANKS!

pastahcole -> Not far from Keene, actually in Dublin on Peterborough side. Bought the '07 Street Bob at Monadnock HD last winter. Great, great people there. New owner 2 years ago has done wonders for customer satisfaction and friendly small town family atmosphere, not at all like the big city stealers! best vehicle purchasing experience I ever had (and I've had lots over the last 60 years - LOL).

wisemx -> thanks, man!! Glad you like it - been a vision in the making for years even though the bike is an '07, just needed the right canvas to start from!!
