Basement build bobber

Basement build XS 587x365 Basement build bobber

Where to begin…I started this build in August of 09′ in the basement of my college house. It came together piece by piece as I found the or made the parts that I wanted. I got the frame off ebay. motor carbs and exhaust off craigslist for $175, rims from a harley road glide, 4 under springer, brakes from a harley, military ammo box for battery, antique military spotlight, 50 cal shells for peg covers, custom tank off ebay.

I was able to take it to my girlfriends house to paint and put it all together in her garage just in time for the nice weather and my 22 birthday.
Give me your thoughts
Thanks

    nice ride….i dig the horizontal stripes on the tank….springer looks great…..as does the headlight……

    the pegs look cool, but not sure how functional….

    the fat tires fit the style …..and the military ammo box as well.

    nice simple scoot!

    congrats…..

    Thanks for the kind words, and yeah the pegs seem to be underthought I might need to rework them some rainy day…
