Bobber build '97 vlx deluxe

[Cmilt11]

So here it is...1997 vlx deluxe. I've been chippin away at it waitin on parts and what not but this is what I got so far

Hole saw mod
Legacy 6" bars (26" width)
Removed frame cage-for sale
Remove windscreen- for sale
Dynojet jet kit-in the mail
K&N filter-in the mail

Rally want to cut the rear subframe and remove rear fender but the wife wants to ride too so I need to fab up a rear fender and supports that will hold a pass when need be, any suggestions please?

Lookin' quite good so far man, those handle bars are pretty sweet - how's that riding position/reach working out for ya?

Suggestions would be different pipes and seat. I think some shorter pipes would work really well with the style of handle bars you have going on, a springer seat would look killer too but, obviously that wouldn't work for you're old lady.

Thanks goat! It's a start...solo seat are damn expensive might have found one for $50 though

I went with a 12gauge steel fender, welded bungs inside the fender and bolted through the factory fender supports. I can't say it's 100% the right way to go about it but she is solid as a rock!

Dig the bars!

These pics are from my project to remove the rear fender...happy with the way it came out...at least for now got new smaller bullet signals and a side mount license plate and brake light bracket in the mail. Also once my jet kit comes in I'll be cutting the exhaust and heat wrapping it...let me know what you think and any suggestions are appreciated!!!

Update on the build

Replaced both front and rear signals with LED signals lowered front and rear 2 1/2" heat wrapped exhaust and still waiting for a rainy day to put the jet kit in. Also got a 40t rear sprocket awaiting a new 120 link x-ring chain. Let me know what you think. Hopefully will be plasti-dipping the wheels and other bits n pieces soon. Too much chrome!!!

The pipes are stock just hacked up heat wrapped an have pep boys Chrome tips on em the look ok from far but far from ok if you know what I mean. Just got the jet kit in order a new side mount license plate bracket and tail light combo from a site called tailendcustoms.com and it's badass!

See what I mean! Got a few other little things up my sleeve too you'll have to wait n see might take some time so don't hold your breath I got my first child due in about 3 1/2 weeks.

Update time once again...
White leather Springer seat
White coke bottle grips
Tailendcustoms "power piston" tailight and license plate bracket
Fork boot gaitors
Bar end mirrors
.32 Winchester shell casings in place of old mirrors
40t sprocket
Gold 118 link chain

I think that's it but I might be forgetting some things.
