My 98' V Star Bobber build "Rat Bastad"

I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. It's a fun little fucker to bomb around town on. I still gotta lose those foot controls and do a few more small things here and there though. I'm gonna snap some better pictures soon...

As well as moving them,
Could also paint them black, and French the housings up against the tubes.
A kind of non-chopper solution would be to mount them to the underside of the seat like they did on some of the H-D flathead 45's

Where did you get that mirror from? although, I might be better off just modifying a mirror and welding it into place on my bar end, that way I did not have to spend any money to get a mirror like that, I have done crazy stuff like that before, and will do it again!

I am thinking it's time to start losing some chrome.. and to make that shaft drive case/differential case thing go black. and part of the drum-side hub too I'd think.

CRG's or equivalent Sportbike mirrors or bike(bicycle) mirrors? I like the little offsets they're hanging on.
