Looks good.
That is an interesting way you locked up the rear suspension on the bobber.

[Custom82Hawk]

brake light is above the license plate.  don't have any turn signals yet.  i use hand signals.  and well, the bobber is all i have left now.  they came and got the suuzki.  so this will be a "in rememberance" thread intead i guess.

Is ths bobber hard to ride,with those handlebars? ,and how loud is that thing?

[Custom82Hawk]

It's actually not that hard at all once you get used to it.  Takes a little practice to get used to it.  Most people think they would be uncomfortable, but I actually find to be better than the stock bars.  As for the loudness, yeah it's really loud.  I'd say it's about as loud as harley with aftermarket exhaust.  Doesn't have the low speed rumble a harley does, but sounds very similar otherwise.

Who came and took the suzuki? Did you sell it or was it repossessed

[Custom82Hawk]

it was repo'd.  took out a deer with the suzuki, and by the time the insurance company decided to fix it instead of paying it off like they'd been telling me they'd do, i was 2 months behind.  about that time, my wife hired a lawyer in our do-it-yourself divorce we'd been doing and i had to hire one as well.  so even less money to put towards the bike.  decided to just let it go at that point.

Sorry to hear about the Suzuki. How did you like that bike? I came real close to buying one last year to "bob", but ended up with a VLX instead. Always thought the S40 would be a good candidate for a bobber.

It was a decent bike.  There's a seller on ebay who makes bobber parts for it who actually has one with most of the parts they sell on their own s40.  It does look pretty awesome.  As for the bike itself, it wasn't too bad.  It was quick off the line, but didn't have much in the top end.  Definately wasn't a trip taker.  Especially with the 2.7 gallon tank.  Working on it was fairly easy, not much to it.  Being belt driven made it even better.  Was REALLY reliable, only time I had any problems was when the 1 spark plug wouldn't fire under compression and had to change it out, and the few times the battery went out.  Texas heat + motorcycle batteries = short life span.  Depending upon your height, and what other bikes you'd ridden, it did feel really small.  I'm only 5'9", and it felt small for me.  The thing was, though it did feel small, and you probably do look like a circus bear riding it stock (no seat/handlebar mods), it was comfy.  But if you were bobbering it you'd probably change all that anyway.  But I didn't bobber mine, owed too much money on it (how ironic), so I didn't ever get the chance to see how it would be bobbered.  All-in-all, a nice bike.  Nothing like the sound of a thumper.
