The Bobster

[manic_mechanic]

Here is my latest project. I finally got what I have wanted since I was a kid. A Harley Davidson. This is my 2006 XL 883C.

At the dealership.

I like where you're going with the bike man. Here's a few pics of my friends sporty from a show we went to. He did all the work including paint himself

[manic_mechanic]

nice sporty. I see he went with a rigid back half.

[beatnbruised]

Yeah he made it himself. It rides real nice though with the sprung seat and the tall back tire.

[manic_mechanic]

kool. I have done a wide glide front end swap on my bike this past week. next year is to build the engine up to push at least 100 hp

[beatnbruised]

That will be sweet! What all are you doing to the motor? 1200 kit? Also can I ask why you went to a wideglide? Just curious. We all try to make our bikes as narrow as possible

[manic_mechanic]

wide glide front end conversion

I plan on puching the motor out to a 1250, looking to get 100+ hp if I can. I went with the wideglide front end because I like the wide look on the front of my bike. has a mennousing agressive look.

[manic_mechanic]

nice skoot. love the color and the springer front end

[pejsa HB]

yea $7k and 9 months later haha

i love the fiber wrapped pipes i personally wanted to do the wheels a semigloss black, but my dad was harsh opposition

[manic_mechanic]

I am waiting on my Paughco upsweep pipes and my cables for my new ape hangers

[pejsa HB]

i think it would have looked alittle better if you made your sissy bar longer

i dont know the back of your bike seems like is just lacking something, that might be it?

your staying with that rear wheel set up i take it?

[manic_mechanic]
