My girl got a new bike so I'm taking her old one and chopping it up. I have a general idea what I'm going to do with it but I don't have it in my mind where this is gonna end yet. So I figured I'd start a thread to see if anyone has any ideas for me and to track my progress.
Here's what it looked like when she was still riding it. Pretty much stock with forward controls and high air flow.
Here's what it looked like last night. In the process of putting on 16 inch ape hangers.
Here is what it looks like now. Relocated license, got rid of blinkers, higher handle bars, new cables and internal wiring.
Next up is black Progressive shocks that will lower it an inch plus a lowering kit to drop it another inch. After that I'm getting some black Vance and Hines Slash Cut Shortshots.
Here's where I want some input. I'll be pulling off the tank and fenders to chop and paint. I'll be doing it myself and I'm up for experimenting and trying radical stuff, but I'm wanting an old school bobber look when I'm done. So where to chop the fenders and to cut the back straight across or do a design and what to paint it are still undecided.
Any ideas fellas?
