thanks alley, kool & cheap, how u moumt it?

I agree that the pipes don't fit the look. I personally wouldn't paint the ones you have black. I sold my cobras for almost what I paid for them. If you paint them they won't be work much. Heres the set I made out of the stockers. http://s586.photobucket.com/albums/s...t=f5554ee3.jpg

I've since painted the tips black, I like the look of the tan, it breaks up the bike a bit. I don't know why my pictures never show up right??!?!?!?

[billymac814]

Oh and theres no baffles, they sound fine and no loss of performance, You could weld a washer or something inside to create some backpressure.

I did a temporary mount for mine. I just shoved it under the grip. When I get new grips I am actually gonna mount in inside my handlebar.

[goddarddr]

Thanks Billy and Alley, I have come this far with the "LOOK" can't stop now. Yes I could get $$$ for the V H cruisers, I have my stockers, so Billy , "How U Do That?" at what point did you cut yours and how much did you add, did you use the same mounts? You know me Questions but this a "how to" place for everyone to read

[Alley Rat]

I am about to build another set of exhaust for my bike. I will post a thread once I am done.

Is that a blue colar bobber seat mount? I like that deep blue paint, is that a stock color? what is the name of that color?
I avoid the rain, did get caught in it, had water running down my back into my pants, made me laugh. it was a short ride. : )

The front mount is made by me out of piece of aluminum. I will paint it black. Rear are 3" springs. I wanted a no-commitment bobber. I want to be able to switch back and forth. As of now it takes about 40 minutes, but "bobber" look is nowhere near done. Anything up to an hr is acceptable.
No idea about the color. It is black until light shines on it, then it turns bluish-gray-purple. I love it, but have no idea what touch up paint to buy. It has couple of scratches.

here is a new pic. I took my homemade seat bracket off and mounted the seat right on the cross bar like i did at the beginning of my project and lowered the front 3" = low ridin

Told ya the first seat look was better. How EXACTLY did you do it?

[goddarddr]

Hey Ram, i drilled 2 holes in the cross bar that matched the bolts coming out of the seat bottom. I bent a tongue that would slip up under the tank mounting bolt. the seat bolts go inside the holes about 3/4" and seat rest on the cross bar
The seat is not bolted on, I can just left it off, but with the tongue and the bolts in the holes, and my weight sitting on top,ain't going nowhere, there is no side to side movement. here is some pic's




I have the frame cover that hides the wiring.This is as low as seat can go without cutting off the cross bar and moving the battery, Since I lowered the front of my bike, i don't feel like I am sitting on a slope. I still like the looks of the spring seat.

Had A beautiful day in Tennessee for a ride : )

[Alley Rat]

Finished up my exhaust. Inspired by the pic spitbeard posted. I wanted to do a more sever angle at the end but I had the 45s so I went with them.

That looks HOT! i will to make the same one for next season, аnd buy same cover. What is the front mount made off? Do you have any pictures of bobbers without rear fender and low mounted seat by any chance?

[Shadders]

Does this help? I originally mounted mine the same as above but with 3 inch springs and thought it was way to high and too far forward for me. I wanted to stretch my legs a little.

So this is with the cross bracket cut off and new brackets mounted from the frame ready to hold the base mounting for the seat.

This has the lugs in place and the plastic cut off, re routed the fuse box and CDi



then I made an aluminium cover for the battery and wiring so it was neat and it does tend to rain a little here in the UK..!!



This was the end result

Hope this helps?
