Not reallt sure you can consider a bike a bobber if your fabricating over half of the frame, So I guess this one would be considered a chopper. As she sat as of 3:30 today:  After the sawzall massacre, lengthening the backbone and going single.  All joints into the factory frame will be slugged, radius welded along with 8 rosettes (4 on either side of jointed section) Bending the upper rails  Welding them on    And I'm pooped for the night. Will resume tomorrow. |

Lol, I have done this a time or two :-P
It feels so weird not jigging it up, but my jig has a frame on it that is in mock up stage and i dont want to disturb my fixtures.

I think that little one (#2) would make the motor look massive which would be cool. I like the color too.
Nice progress!

I like what's behind door #3. Looks like a nice compromise on size, and I like the angle, in case you don't feel like cutting on the tanks.

Im not sure, If i use the blue one i am going to make a tunnel, it sits too high for my liking. Im thinking the sportster tank (#3) may be my best looking option.

Bobbed I kinda like the 1st one if your building a bobber.... the sportster tank is also cool but everyone will recognize it as a sportster tank.. of course this is only my opinion, I'm sure what every you do will be cool
